Zvacek University of Kansas, (USA) e-mail: [email protected] A book about remote labs and engineering education begs to begin with the question, “Why do engineering programs include lab work?” Although this may seem like a given and not worth discussing, whenever we’re faced with innovative ideas, it’s important to “put everything on the table” in order to reassess its value to our program or goals. What is it about lab work that is of value to students? Are there elements of traditional labs that we could let go of? Are there elements that we don’t want to lose? These questions can help us to clarify how and why labs are integrated into an engineering education program. Why Labs? Reviewing the literature on engineering education, one is struck by how little mention is made of labs and what happens (or should happen) in them. If the integration of lab work merits so little discussion the risk is that we fall into complacency, assuming that everyone understands the purpose of lab work and – even riskier – that everyone agrees on it. Feisel and Rosa [1] put it concisely when they wrote, “While there seems to be general agreement that laboratories are necessary, little has been said about what they are expected to accomplish.” Accrediting bodies for engineering education hint (strongly) at the need for labs in their evaluation criteria, but stop short of specifying how any of the program outcomes should be addressed. For example, ABET includes in their program outcomes the expectation that students will have “the ability to design and conduct experiments” and “the ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools” [2, p. 5]. Similarly, EUR-ACE pro- gram criteria expect students to have, “Ability to select and use appropriate © University of Deusto - ISBN 978-84-9830-398-8 12 PREFACE equipment, tools, and methods” as well as, “An understanding of applicable techniques and methods, and of their limitations [3, p. 6]. Laboratory instruction is likely to remain part of any serious engineering curriculum as one way to help students achieve these desirable outcomes. Why Remote Labs? Many programs now incorporate remote (and/or virtual) labs into their instruction to save money, extend scarce resources, or share equipment with another institution. It’s probably a safe bet that few, if any, engineering programs implement remote labs for pedagogical reasons, so the resulting learning benefits may come as a pleasant surprise. Depending on how the labs are deployed, those benefits are likely to include increased student access to equipment, greater flexibility in lab scheduling, a wider range of possible assignments or activities, and enhanced opportunities for collabo- ration among students. Increasing the amount of time that students have access to lab equip- ment can result in greater time-on-task per student; increased access may also refer to the types of equipment on which students may work. Either of these scenarios is likely to result in more and/or more varied learning. When labs are accessed online, students can (potentially) be engaged in learning at any time and from anywhere they have Internet access, as op- posed to hands-on activities that rely on the times that campus buildings are open and staff members are available. This increased access opens the door to activities that may take longer than a typical class meeting time or multi-part assignments that require students to use equipment for several short periods over the span of a week or more, both of which pose logisti- cal barriers in a hands-on environment. Finally, there may be enhanced opportunities for student collaboration when labs are accessed online, by removing the same-time same place constraints posed by traditional work groups. For tomorrow’s engineer, working on a team whose members are scattered around the country (or the globe) may be the norm and giving students practice with skills useful in this work environment (communica- tion and teamwork, for example) can give them a head-start. Planning Lab Instruction Although remote labs offer many educational benefits, their value depends heavily on how well the course designer plans the instruction. In very traditional programs, lab instruction has often followed a sequence of © University of Deusto - ISBN 978-84-9830-398-8 PREFACE 13 steps that included the instructor deciding on the teaching objectives (for example, to expose students to a new type of equipment or to demonstrate a process), designing the lab activities

Received: 2018.05.11; Accepted: 2018.11.30; Published: 2019.01.01 Abstract Heat shock protein 90 is an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone important for folding, maturation and clearance of aberrantly expressed proteins and is abundantly expressed (1-2% of all proteins) in the cytosol of all normal cells. In some tumour cells, however, strong expression of HSP90 is also observed on the cell membrane and in the extracellular matrix and the affinity of tumoural HSP90 for ATP domain inhibitors was reported to increase over 100-fold compared to that of HSP90 in normal cells. Here, we explore [11C]NMS-E973 as a PET tracer for in vivo visualisation of HSP90 and as a potential tool for in vivo quantification of occupancy of HSP90 inhibitors.

With the start of the 2013-2014 academic year, the KU Leuven community gained thousands of new students and staff as a result of the integration of the various academic degree programmes of the university colleges within the KU Leuven Association. This is the culmination of a process ten years in the making and is unquestionably the most substantial institutional development of the last 40 years. The Flemish higher education landscape has changed significantly, and KU Leuven has become a multi-campus university. It is still too early to know with certainty how this institutional operation will influence daily life at the university colleges and at the university. But that it will is certain. The simple fact that the integrated university college degree programmes are now research-based will lead to new projects, contacts, administrative needs, curricula, intellectual orientation and so forth.
