and Wilmington.9Both Virginia Tech and Wake Forest have access to Internet2’s Abliene network. Themotivation for selecting IP for delivering SBES courses was driven by several factors: cost andthe ability to move towards future technology. The initial courses for the SBES were deliveredin fall 2002 using ISDN. The technical team carefully reviewed the protocol options fordelivering future SBES classes. Because of the increasing cost of delivering classes using ISDNand the trend of service providers focusing more on supporting IP, the SBES directors supportedthe technical team’s decision to move to IP.

No penalty is assessed for responses that are in an incorrect form. Notice that the triescounter still registers zero of a maximum of 2 tries for this problem. (The instructor can setmaximum tries as high as 100.) For an incorrect answer, LON-CAPA responds with an“incorrect” message followed by the counter displaying the number of tries used and themaximum allowed.It is advantageous to write some problems in the forms shown in Figures 2 and 3 rather than as inFigure 1 so that multiple answers are submitted all at once with a single push of the submitanswer button because a computer response of “incorrect

than engineering professions. Providing resources to teachersthat can be integrated into the classroom will not only encourage and help students toprepare for engineering degrees but inform teachers about engineering so that they aremore comfortable discussing engineering with students and parents.Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)In the 1970’s the Texas Legislature mandated that Texas K-12 education institutionsmeasure student knowledge and skills in reading, mathematics and writing. At firststudents were assessed on minimum basic skills in reading, mathematics, and writing, butin 1990 the focus changed from minimum to academic skills. Ten years later, thelegislature mandated that testing should be conducted at more grade levels and

We asked the student to tell us what concept s/he thought the questionaddressed and then asked him or her to solve the problem thinking aloud and usingsketches, notes, etc., if desired. We asked questions intended to probe the students’thought processes as they solved the problems and tape-recorded the sessions for latertranscription and analysis. We also collected all
