Effectiveness of Traditional, Blended and On-line Course Offering ModelsAbstractSeven years’ study on the effectiveness of traditional, blended and on-line course offeringmodels is presented. This study is based on the development and implementation of these threemodels on Electrical Machinery course offering. The traditional way of teaching of Electricalmachinery course for EET and Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) majors has beenconducted for years and therefore provides us with significant statistics on students'comprehension of the subject. The goal of a blended approach is to join the best aspects of bothface-to-face and online instruction: classroom time can be used to engage students in advancedlearning experiences

This is an intermediatestep to the full SCALE-UP classes (99 students) that will be taught in Fall 2000 when the largerclassroom is completed. Both classrooms are designed to encourage students to work in groupsof three, provide each group with to a laptop computer that has access to the Internet, and allowinstructors to interact with each student group. Traditional lecture and laboratory are replacedwith an integrated approach using active-learning cooperative group activities. The project isinvestigating several aspects of instruction including classroom design, classroom management,and curriculum materials. The curriculum

Studies have shown that this trend will continue in the futureyears. To deliver hands-on experience to the online teaching, with a quality equivalent to whatstudents can get from the face-to-face laboratory environment, has been an eminent requirementfor further expanding our DE program.A number of studies on remote computer networking and technology laboratory have been donein recent years.

course, and we elucidate the importantrole the course plays in our engineering curriculum.IntroductionIn the fall of 2003, two faculty members at the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering beganteaching a new course offering, titled Paul Revere: Tough as Nails. Referred to as a “courseblock” due to the fact that it was twice the size of a typical undergraduate course, Paul Revere:Tough as Nails attempted to accomplish several key learning objectives:• Teach students to pose questions and solve materials science and historical problems in an interdisciplinary manner, using the content, methods, and perspectives of both fields to achieve a greater contextual and qualitative understanding of common topics.• Encourage students to control

Students didn’t have any numerical computing experience at the start of thecourse. Moreover, it has been observed that simulation results provide a set of known-good,expected results, which makes debugging analog circuitry much easier.ConclusionsAfter several years of teaching communications courses with a simulation component, we havedeveloped a list of common pitfalls that students face, as well as exercises designed to helpstudents avoid them and learn in the most efficient manner. We have presented a summary ofthese observations in this paper. We believe that simulation will continue to play an increasinglyimportant

In the MET program, there are two mandatory thermodynamics courses. The second course in the thermodynamics sequence is Advanced Thermodynamics, a 4ch course, and comprised of a 3ch lecture component and a 1ch laboratory component. Like any course with a laboratory component, there is always a strong need to expand the learning experiences the students have in labs. Sometimes the resources in the labs are limited.
