The partnerships formed among Angelo State University(ASU), Tom Green County Library (TGCL), and area community-based organizations provided awealth of resources which were essential to the program’s success. ASU and TGCL provided thecornerstone partnership needed to establish and build the program. While both institutions sharegoals of acquiring and disseminating knowledge, they have very different characters.

. This percentage for engineering courses was mere 0.86%. This is unfortunate since theinfrastructure required for online education has been primary developed by engineers.The perceived obstacles in widespread integration of online courses in engineering curriculumscan be divided into two categories: physical obstacles and cultural obstacles. A major physicalbarrier is how to provide hands-on trainings, which traditionally take place in laboratories andmachine shops, in an online setting. However, this may not be a major problem since, contrary towhat one may expect, the data shows that online education is primary “local”. A little over half ofall students who took at least one online course took some face-to-face courses at the sameinstitution

The Dutch BѐtaMentality [8] project discoveredfour profiles related to adolescents and technology: High Techs, Career Techs, SociallyMinded Generalists, and Non Techs. High Techs enjoy both science and technology. Theyare hands-on people who like practical examples and laboratory work. High Techs like tounderstand how things work and often have technology-related hobbies. Slightly less thanforty percent of the boys and a quarter of the girls fall into this category.
