At the end of the semester an in-depth questionnaire with quantitative ratings wasgiven to the students to determine if there were differences in learning preferences. Contingencytables were used to compare responses. There were several statistically significant differences instudent responses favoring the all laboratory structure. Several of them are: the students aremuch more comfortable with computers at the end of the semester; either laboratory or workingby oneself were the preferred settings for learning; and lecture was not a preferred setting forlearning

The students are exposed to digital circuit design using discrete 74xx seriescomponents during the first four weeks of the semester. For the rest of the semester, all designs aretargeted at FPGA. The use of 74xx series components has been kept in the laboratory for two reasons.First, a 74xx series component might be all that is needed for a simple design. Second, the concept ofputting together a design utilizing multiple components (system-level design) can be introduced.Potentially, this encourages the students to optimize their designs so that wiring the digital circuit iseasier.Our findings through this introduction have all been positive.

With the closure of the Schools /Universities, the educational process has been radically transformed from one day to the next.STEM education is based on collaborative work, inquiry, experimentation, problem-solving, andproject generation. This type of education encounters many obstacles in the present situation:students do not have access to laboratories, materials, and other essential supplies to implementan educational process of quality.The Institution has developed alternative ways to promote quality STEM education for

statement would suggest that we, as evaluators and educators, wouldneed to change our approach to teaching Engineering Technology in order to gear our programsto that of our customer’s experiences and expectations.But do we need to do this? Although the buzzwords today are on computer simulations, virtualreality, etc., I do not feel that the needs of the “real world” have changed. There is still a need tobe able to have that “hands-on” experience that only an Engineering Technologist has and canbring to the work force.To this end, laboratory experiments should be laid out in such a manner as to duplicate a “realworld” situation. These experiments should be designed so as to build on the previousexperiment, just as classroom lectures build on one

. Defense assurancefocuses on appropriate ways to build and maintain systems that are less vulnerable toattack. Attack understanding focuses on strategies for attacking and how to defendagainst them. Curriculums that focus more on attack understanding can use isolated testbeds to provide laboratory experiences for the students to attack and defend networks. Ina face-to-face environment, the test bed isolation can be accomplished by excludingwireless, infrared, and EoP (Ethernet over Power) interfaces, disabling any removablemedia, and by having only power cables (i.e. no network cables) extend beyond the testbed.Unfortunately, the use of air-gap isolation is unsuitable in a distance education (DE)environment.

The primary guiding principle in the development of the laboratorymodules is constructivism, which was implemented by creating an experiential learningenvironment through the use of active learning techniques. The laboratory sessions provide anopportunity for students to enquire, explore, collaborate, and have fun while learning.
