Homework assignments and solutions were posted on the Web and the studentswere readily able to contact Dr. Baker by email. Locally the author maintained normal officehours for the students. A grader was used for homework assignments while the author made upand graded the examinations and assigned the final course grade. Both the Moscow class and theUNR class worked on integrated circuit design projects capable of being submitted to MOSIS forfabrication.The third benefit was the considerable savings in time associated with not having to preparedaily lectures.

I see also that these processes are social in nature and that shared experiences in class and through teamwork projects are vital.

These courses have been delivered atFocus:HOPE which is the location of a new engineering paradigm in engineering education.This paradigm is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project called the GreenfieldCoalition and the academic delivery is through computer-based instruction and self-pacedlearning activities.The courses have been offered individually as a self-paced learning experience and morerecently, all three together in a “one-room schoolhouse” concept.

To help students gain additional appreciation for the increased complexity of the triangular plane stresses element the element stiffness matrix may be introduced. Emphasis should be placed on the necessity of computer program application.11. Tutorial examples of the computer software may be provided to the students so plane stress structural models and analyses may be performed.12.
