-line Testing SystemImproving engineering education has become a major concern for universities. There is a need tochange the engineering curriculum and create courses that will give future workforce engineersthe skills that manufacturing companies are searching for. One of the concepts that are trying tobe utilized is creating online courses1, 2 ; for the objective presented here the online technology isused but with a different approach than just a regular online course. In this paper, the idea is toexplain, implement, and further enhance engineering education with a different program for theIndustrial, Manufacturing and Systems Engineering department and the Mechanical EngineeringDepartment at the University of Texas at El Paso.

from the traditional productdevelopment process, which focuses on optimized designs for individual products. Productfamily planning places a much higher demand on management of information of multiple typesand from multiple sources. In response, researchers at four universities are collaborating on thedevelopment of an information technology infrastructure to support product platform planning.This is a relatively new development in engineering design that is typically not part of theundergraduate education; therefore, we see an intrinsic relationship between the need forintegrating the development of research directly with educational enhancements to teach studentsabout these concepts.

digital signalprocessing are noticeably absent in engineering technology programs. A recent look at ABETaccredited electrical/electronics engineering technology programs [1] showed that only 6 of the 66programs accessed offered DSP as a required course in the curriculum. Another nine programsoffered DSP as a technical elective and the remaining 51 did not offer DSP to their students at all.As DSP becomes more pervasive in industrial applications, it is imperative that engineeringtechnology graduates have some exposure to digital signal processing theory and practice. Themain difficulty in teaching DSP to technology students is the level of mathematics. Studentsopening a textbook on digital signal processing [2] – [4] are faced with pages and

recordingsIntroductionLecture capture, the recording of face-to-face classroom lectures in digital format, and makingthese recordings available for asynchronous first-time viewing or reviewing by students, is animportant and beneficial tool for engineering education that has been in use for several yearsnow; but that has experienced a slow adoption rate. In the 2010 National Survey of InformationTechnology in Higher Education[1], a survey of senior campus information technology officersfrom 523 public and private colleges and universities across the United States, more than sixtypercent of the survey participants either “agree” or “strongly agree” that lecture capture is animportant part of their plans for developing and delivering instructional materials.

The programming projects in these coursesdeal with various parts of the Web search including search engines, crawling, retrieval anduser interface. Most of these projects use the technology of CGI, making it rely on existingWeb servers. What made our project different was that we emphasized the whole picture ofWeb search. Our project included every components in a Web search retrieval system, theWeb server, the crawler, indexing, ranking and retrieving components.
