Challenges & Triumphs Basic Challenges: - Student Engagements - Authentication and Proctoring - Faculty and Student Interaction Triumphs: Learning anywhere anytime Computer is infinitely patience Individualized Learning at one s own pace
Online EE Labs EEO 218: Digital Logic Design (2013) Prof. Dmitri Donetski, SBU EEO 352: Electronics Lab I (2006 Now) Prof. Pao-Lo Liu, University at Buffalo EEO 353: Electronics Lab II (2006 Now) Prof. Pao-Lo Liu, University at Buffalo EEO 304: Electronic Instrumentation & Operational Amplifier (2013) Prof. Michael Gouzman, SBU EE
Electrical Engineering Labs Circuit - Design, analysis, & characterization Design, Build, Diagnose and characterize circuits and devices Circuit Simulation Software Real Experiments (Design, Build, Diagnose and characterize) Same Experiments (on-campus & online)
Electronic Lab Equipment On Campus Equipment Home Equipment USB oscilloscope w interface Oscilloscope Function (Signal) Generator sound card for low-frequency signals (20 20K Hz)
Electronics Lab at Home Digital Counter Overall Set up EEO 352: Electronics Lab I, Prof. Pao-Lo Liu at University of Buffalo
Innovation: Online Lab Kit SBU Online EE Lab Kit with web camera, USB Oscilloscope Funded by NYS High Need Program, July 2013 PI: Dr. Michael Gouzman, SBU
Innovation: New outcome Most engineering programs use ABET (Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology) student learning outcomes a-k a. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering; b. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; New Innovative Outcome: Outcome l: an ability to communicate and/or collaborate effectively online Rationale: Natural outcome, unique online identity Most US engineers interface with counterparts worldwide
Summary A Multi-Campus Completely Online Degree Program Innovations: One of first in the nation A New Electrical Engineering Laboratory Kit A New Engineering Learning Outcome Collaboration: Engaging 3 University Centers (Stony Brook, Buffalo and Binghamton) and 3 Community Colleges (Jefferson, Monroe, and Suffolk Counties) - Joining forces to make a difference! Impact: Serving a student population otherwise unable to pursue higher education in EE.
