Professors at our institution strive very hard tokeep their knowledge up to date and explore new ways of effective and efficient teaching bylearning.Technological advancement in classroom equipment provides an edge to teaching. This bringsflexibility to both teachers and the students. Audio-visual aids like using power point slides, lasertechnology, video clips to emphasize important points, and using WebCT, Wimba are effectivelearning tools with proven impacts. Due to the availability of these technologies, more studentsare able to take courses via online. In our online courses, we made the course curriculum suitablefor online students.

In addition to in-class activities, thereare many programs targeting use of educational robotics in after-school activities.

Additionally, challenges brought on by the overuse of natural resources put a specialresponsibility on materials science and engineering (MSE) faculty, whose role it is to assist inshaping the MSE profession. How can faculty deliver relevant curricula for the MSEengineering professional in an already crowded curriculum? Certainly curricular content must beup-to-date. However, a number of the goals can be met through changing the way in which thecurriculum is delivered. In particular, we have emphasized mastery at the lower levels toincrease retention, and implemented a number of learning “best

In this paper, the approach of usingcollaborative environments is proposed for the reduction of some communication relatedproblems in industrial project implementation process. WebCT and a low cost web-basedcollaborative environment are the tools suggested for managing industrial projects.
