All topics and techniques normally taught in the CADDesign I course were covered in the trial distance learning course. The student workbookscollected at the end of the semester were comparable in content and quality to the local studentgroup as was performance on the final exam. Comparison of the remote student work topreviously taught CAD Design I courses were equally favorable. There was no discernable Page 11.43.7difference between the trial group

The community college system feeds two largepublic university systems, the 23-campus comprehensive California State University (CSU)system, and the 10-campus research-oriented University of California (UC) system, as well asnumerous private and out-of-state universities. Ideally, students should be able to complete all oftheir lower-division coursework at a community college and then transfer to a four-yearinstitution to complete the last two years, thus earning a bachelor’s degree in approximately fouryears.In the 2006-2007 academic year, for instance, 55% of California State University (CSU)graduates and 28% of University of California (UC) graduates began
