3. Advise students at their site who are enrolled in the Miami program.

5. Identify and secure space for laboratory equipment required for the program.
6. Work with instructors and MU distance coordinator to inventory lab equipment at the beginning and end of the semester. Assure correct laboratory equipment is available for use by students in the Miami program. Inform the Department of Engineering Technology if items are needed. Consult inventory lists provided by Miami.
7. Assure that distance connections are established, equipment is working properly, and necessary classrooms are scheduled. See check sheet on this page.
