A long term goal tostimulate research and technology development toward transformational energy solutions willbest be addressed not just by the College of Engineering, but by a campus wide effort.The rationale for RW-E came from students in the trial course in spring 2006 who said that theywere doing more writing in ENGR 101 than in a freshman writing course.

We also recognize thevalue of occasional face-to-face interaction for effective problem solving and clarification ofmisunderstandings on the material, etc. The key idea is that we can retain these clearly desirableelements as per a traditional class while at the same time leveraging the resources offered by thetechnology to ease the burden on the student without sacrificing quality.Since we are still new to the technology that enables the VSC, there will likely be otherunforeseen applications that will benefit engineering education.
