However,there does not appear to be a consensus on the extent of such training, or its outcomes. Trainingfor professional software developers (as evidenced by what it would take to be seriouslyconsidered for a professional software development position nowadays) would seem to includethe equivalent of at least several terms of courses to achieve a working knowledge of softwaredevelopment: programming in two or more languages, data structures, performance analysis,software design, and basic

Virtual Education Environment Computer-aided instruction (CAI) systems [5] were introduced as early as 1960's as a meansof assisting students outside the classroom. The first CAI programs were either computerizedversions of textbooks, or drill and practice monitors [6] that presented a student with problems andcompared the student’s responses to the pre-scored answers, and if necessary, provided the student withcanned remedial responses. Improvements were continuously made until computer-aidedinstruction systems evolved into intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) [7, 8

Eventhough the process of decision-making is complicated, there is a model developed by Dhalstrandand Biel that describes a systematic process to changing poor environmental habits into pro-environmental habits6. They propose a series of sub-steps in behavior change so that a personwith a strongly established habit which is detrimental to the environment may develop a newhabit that is more beneficial to the environment. The steps include activation, attending presentbehavior, considering alternative solutions, planning new behavior, testing new behavior, andestablishing new behavior.

If the userhas written down an equation with one variable (always a linear equation in truss analysis), uponrequest the tutor can solve the equation for that variable. This eliminates the need to use acalculator. The user can substitute such a solved variable into another equation that has morethan one variable. But the tutor does not permit the simultaneous solution of multiple equationsfor multiple variables. This restriction on the solving capability promotes the practice of seekingto find an equation with a single variable, which can be determined and then used in subsequentequations.

The original plan was to go over a high-level flow chart of what the program was supposed to do as a group before they began coding.This worked for many of the students, though as the semester progressed, many of the studentswould begin working on the assignments, and even possibly complete them, prior to the start ofthe recitation.
