• at least 288 simultaneous users (9 PE (Professional Edition) Systems
• more than 16,000 three hour lab reservations in a 24x7 week
Faculty pedagogy changes:
• Students self-schedule lab access
• Rather than everybody has to come to the physical lab at once
Projected Impact
To estimate remote lab facility participation,
utilization and impact, this project conducted a
survey of relevant programs at BACCC colleges.
• 24 colleges responding
• 280 courses leading to industry certifications
• 547 sections of those courses will utilize the
labs annually
• 11,350 students will use those labs annually
