New Electrical Engineering Laboratory Facility Combines Traditional Laboratory Experiments, Computer-Based Lab Exercises, and Labs Taught via Distance

摘要

On August 21, 2006 Missouri Governor Matt Blunt, along with the Curators of the University of Missouri, the Chancellor of Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T), and the President of Missouri State University (MSU) signed a Memorandum of Understanding that allowed Missouri S&T to offer bachelor's degrees in Civil and Electrical Engineering on the MSU campus. The primary motive behind the signing of this agreement was an increased demand for Civil and Electrical Engineering graduates in southwest Missouri. A more detailed description of the conditions leading to the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding and specific details of the agreement are presented elsewhere This focus of this paper is on the development and implementation of an appropriate Electrical Engineering laboratory facility on the MSU campus so that Electrical Engineering Laboratory courses in the Missouri S&T Electrical Engineering program can be offered on the MSU campus in Springfield.
