hard time finding scholarly articles and research papers on this topic.I was wondering if you could please help me with this.”3. Course Management Systems.Since course content, syllabus, lectures, and other important documents will be available throughthe online course management system, it makes sense that even library instruction and referencebe embedded through course management systems. Appropriate course web pages and researchguides can be linked through these systems providing easy access to students. Course specificonline books can also be linked so that students can access them through the course web pages.Faculty members in collaboration with the engineering librarian can identify appropriate onlinebooks or book chapters for their

describes the development of a new graduate engineering technology course inadvanced networks for industrial environments. The course is intended to provide an in-depthoverview of high-performance wired and wireless networks for industrial control,communications, and computing. The emphasis is on understanding current and newly emergingnetwork architectures, protocols, and technologies in terms of performance, network services,ease of implementation, maintenance, reliability, risk, and cost. The course is currently offeredentirely online. To address the challenge of providing hands-on experience with networkprotocols, experiments with two industry-standard modeling and evaluation tools, OPNET’s ITGuru and Wireshark, are used. In addition, Adobe

describe in this paper is offered as a core-course for EET majorsand a service course for other majors (non-EET). Historically, introductory courses in electricalengineering and electrical engineering technology not always have been adequate to satisfy thegoals of providing a foundation for EET majors, while providing some EET knowledge and toolsneeded for other majors to support their field of study3. We continue to struggle with the task ofimparting knowledge to students who often have little interest in the material, and who are veryimpatient. We also are often faced with the decision of covering only the most basic informationon most topics in the syllabus or focusing on communicating a comprehensive understanding ofa subset of topics. Some

learning management system in relationship to faculty in theSchool of Engineering and Technology at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis(IUPUI). Survey questions focused on two main areas of inquiry, faculty usage and facultyperceptions of the learning management system. Researchers also gave faculty the opportunity torespond to four open-ended questions including what they liked most and least in the system,suggestions for improving their use of the learning management system, and finally, how theycould use the learning management system more effectively in their courses. The last section ofinquiry concentrated on faculty’s perceptions of online courses to help researchers gaugeinterest, experience, and opinions on the subject as

online, with laboratories being offered in a ‘low-residency’format. This low-residency format will require students to complete a group oflaboratory assignments on two or three Saturdays during the semester. Weanticipate future efforts to offer both the lectures and laboratories completelyonline.SPSU’s approach, in collaboration with the TCSG, to the development of thesecourses was to require consistency in the format of each of our courses byimplementing a standard template. This will facilitate courses to have the samelook, feel, tools, and structure. Faculty developing these courses must havecompleted our Teaching Academy for Distance Learning (TADL) training courseprior to writing courses. To ensure quality course development and structure
