VT to beentirely available online. In this paper the authors present their implementation strategies,successes, and weaknesses in delivering the graduate-level curriculum online, with specificdiscussion of the pros and cons of synchronous and asynchronous lecture formats. The authorsalso describe different formulations of a single, on-campus, capstone experience required of alldistance-learning students with emphasis upon strategies that lead to greatest student success.Quantitative student perceptions of eLearning in the OE curriculum are presented.1.0 History of the Online Ocean Engineering Program at Virginia TechThe roots of this distance-learning program go back to a request from officials at Newport NewsShipbuilding (now Northrup
