assignments.IntroductionIn 1999, when the Georgia Institute of Technology converted from quarter to semester curricula,the Schools of Mechanical Engineering and Civil and Environmental Engineering joinedtogether to create a common, required, introductory engineering graphics course for theirundergraduates. The course, “An Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualization”, is co-listed in the Institute’s catalog as ME 1770 and CEE 1770. The new course is also required forundergraduates in the School of Aerospace Engineering.Currently, the institute offers nine sections of ME/CEE 1770 in both the fall and springsemesters, and two to three sections in the summer semester. Facilities limit enrollment to thirty-six students in each section. In the fall and spring

An example is AOE (Aerospace andOcean Engineering) where two faculty members wanted more than the average CAD coverageand the third faculty member wanting none at all. After collecting this information it becameapparent that, in order to better serve the varying needs of eleven departments, a better feedbacksystem was required that can be made available to departments online and store collectedinformation for further processing. Therefore, a web based feedback system was designed forthis purpose. The next section presents the current progress of this web
