Third, moving equipment to some remotelocation(s) is time consuming and carries some degree of risk of loss and/or damage, anddeprives the school of its potential use to teach, learn, or conduct research.Ideally, hands-on, online graduate programs should allow the students to learn the requiredmaterial at their convenience; permit adequate interaction with instructor and among thestudents; conduct hands-on exercises anytime and anywhere; individualize instruction tocapitalize the varied backgrounds and experiences of working professionals; provide adequateand up-to-date equipment for relevant and uninhibited exploration and experimentation; andmuch

Mechanics ModulesFor each of the design tasks discussed in Section 4, we identified the fluid mechanics principlesneeded to complete the task, as shown in Table 1 below. These basic principles guideddevelopment of the fluid mechanics IT modules. To the extent possible, the modules areindependent of one another; where some previous knowledge is needed, the student is linked tothe appropriate section(s).Table 1.

. This paper presents thedetails of this experiential learning activity as well as a formative assessment of its effectiveness.I. IntroductionPrior to the 1950's, it was common for engineering programs to offer in their curricula suchcourses as sheet-metal fabrication, casting, and machine shop. With the advent of computers andmore emphasis on the theoretical side of engineering education, the courses on mechanical artswere gradually phased out with most of hands-on activities reduced and squeezed into thelaboratory courses. This shift in engineering education is mostly responsible for manyengineering graduates to have a very narrow understanding of the product development processthrough which a design concept is transformed into a physical

thereform path than other disciplines due to the existence of an assessment instrument thattests basic concepts. The well-known Force Concept Inventory (FCI) assessment instrumentof Hestenes, et al.14 has been in use for over 15 years and is now credited with stimulatingreform of physics education. Such assessment inventories can play an important part inrelating teaching techniques to student learning. The design of these instruments relies onthe designer(s) knowing the misconceptions commonly held by students in a discipline.The instruments use these misconceptions as distractors to see if a student can pick out acorrect concept from among the common misconceptions

A study involving the role of individual learning styles in terms of students' use ofand students' benefit from the use of on-line discussion forums is needed. Further research onthe impact of on-line discussion forums to long-term understandings and perceptions as well as acomparison to more “traditional” methods of instruction is also warranted.References1.
