Figure 3 . Remote-Site in Ashe MAE316 Strength of Mechanical Components, Spring 2002. A “Facilitator’s” Perspective Tammy: The adage “If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is” rings true of my employment interview. In 1999, I was finishing my Ph. D. work in Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech when I interviewed for this positio My background was in electrical power systems, and I was concerned about my ability to effectively “facilitate” the electrical engineering courses required for the BSE/Mechatronics degree. “Facilitators” perform many of the tasks that teaching assistants sometimes perform in a conventional educational environment. Facilitator duties may include proctoring exams, grading, collecting homework, distributing handouts, answering questions, conducting recitation sessions, and supervising the labs. The facilitator’s duties depend on the structure of the course and on the level of assistance desired by the professor. I was told that the electrical engineering courses were taught from NC State and the professors would provide all of the materials and support I needed to assist them in the courses and to teach the labs.

History of Distance Education at the College of Engineering
Distance Education (DE) in the College of Engineering was started in January 1999 when the Dean of Engineering at that time, Robert D. Lynch, expressed an interest in the topic. Using strategic planning grants as well as financing from the Dean and Vice President of Academic Affairs, a task force was assembled to explore avenues of technology that would provide the College of Engineering with a state-of-the-art DE system. Headed by faculty of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and a few dedicated undergraduate students, the group found and purchased the necessary technology to provide Distance Education to the students. The system uses rich media web presentation, as well as Video Teleconferencing (VTC) systems to deliver course material live to those who cannot physically be on campus. This dual broadcast allows the distance program to exactly mimic the in-class experience. A server with almost a terabyte of disk space is available and dedicated only to delivery of the material both live and on-demand 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Center for Engineering Education and Research (CEER) is home to the system. The CEER facilities can hold 70 in-class students and up to 400 in the virtual classroom housed within the servers. Using tablet PC's and WebCT integrated with the VTC and Rich Media, the learning experience is of the highest quality for both in-class and DE students.
