-learning comes in two formats, one with reduced traditional lectures and the other onewith virtual face-to-face delivery. Our focus in this paper is hybrid e-learning with virtual face-to-face delivery and will be referred to as hybrid e-learning. Furthermore, a variation of hybride-learning where students are given the choice of attending a class via a synchronous onlinedelivery system, as well as traditional face-to-face, will be referred to as flexible delivery. Therecommendations given in our work can enhance both traditional and distance learning schemesand can be used as an effective communication model for collaborative research-projects whereparticipants are not from the same geographical area.IntroductionClearly, the advancement

As anexample of a graduate project, this paper demonstrated an ANN and GA based knowledge modelwhere the customer’s preferences regarding comfort and safety issues in a large residentialmultistory flat housing scheme was studied. Architecture/engineering is an applied science wheremany lessons can be learned from existing structures, their successes and failures, andincorporating them to find out new techniques for a better structure. This implies that thedesigner should be able to derive from each previous design some qualitative values, especiallyon user’s approval regarding building’s safety and comfort quality as to assure a successfuldesign.

A modified version of this approach, however, can easily be used at all levels of themechanical engineering curriculum. This laboratory’s development process began by writing asuccessful proposal for outside funding in order to create a hands-on teaching laboratory. A two-semester long, open-ended project was utilized, a process which required the students to come upwith creative approaches to problem solving. Consequently, a full-cycle learning experience tookplace. The students began with

, student numbers for each class inthe first 3 years surpass 160. Given these large numbers and a tight curriculum focused ontechnical material, lecturers are usually not able (or willing) to allocate lecture, tutorial, or labtime for individual students or even groups of students to deliver oral presentations. In the finalyear, students are supposed to have more opportunities to improve their professional skills;however, with some class numbers surpassing 75 students, it is becoming impractical to allocatetime for oral presentations of individual or group projects. In Advanced Hydrology, forexample, group project reports and oral presentations have traditionally been a highlight of thecourse. However, with last years class size of 78 students, 4

Theseskills include: planning, project management, problem solving, presentation, patience, andpersistence. Each of these skills is noteworthy in their own right, but collectively they areessential for success as an engineering educator.Planning. Perhaps planning is the first and most critical of the skills. It is the initial phase ofpreparation for any project. Most jobs and assignments can be considered as a project that needsto be managed including teaching a course, running a committee, or preparing curriculum.Planning involves every aspect of developing a project including a schedule or timetable right upuntil
