Interactive M o d e s Technically, the Web is a set of servers and browsers that communicate via HTTP transferrimzHTML documents between the servers and browsers. A more practical definition is that the Web is ;loosely coupled collection of information file servers that process file requests from clients, also knownas browsers. Popular browsers, such as Netscape and Mosaic, communicate via several Internet proto-cols, such as f tp, gopher, and http. This presentation focuses on the HTML aspects of Web-basedinstructional tools. The primary purpose of the HTTP/HTML Web systems is the exchange of multi-media infor-mation contained in files that are accessible via the Web-server.

These communications include informal connections to the student chapters of the professional engineering societies, our COOP and internship programs, S WE, NSBE, ROTC and others. Another important informal contact is with upper level undergraduates and with graduate students who help mentor in the course. The academic goals of the course include introducing them to effective hands-on experiences with the computer, development of communication skills, how to think about engineering design, and the foundations of manufacturing. These foundations include teaming, communication, vocabulary, a concept of quality, economics, design, ethics, and the

availability of people with these skills is making it difficult for U. S, industries to compete in the international market. To function effectively in today’s technological society, contribute to its growth, reap its benefits, and minimize its hazards, knowledge of the technology is essential. This is true whether one is pursuing a career in business, economics, law, education, health care, mathematical, physical or social sciences, humanities or the arts. Academic institutions, particularly engineering schools, have the primary responsibility for producing new graduates in sufficient numbers and with adequate knowledge of science and technology and skill to meet the needs of the industry and the society.

Once the students have had a little experience computing area under the curve,they can begin to solve applications problems using this Riemann sum. Some illustrative examples:Problem: Find the work done hauling 40 feet of chain that is hanging from a window whose sill is 50 feetabove the street, if the chain weighs half a pound per foot.Solution: Since work is force times distance, and the distance is different for each point along the chain, wecan approximate the work done with a Riemann sum. For each slice, we can approximate its distance to thewindowsill by using the furthest point on the slice - thus using the Riemann rightsum. The

Almost all problems are too complex, and humanmental capacity too limited, to be solved directly; iteration (repeating revision) and recursion (breaking theproblem down into smaller tasks) are always needed. Humans also tend to use judgment and intuition to guidetheir work, in order to expend minimum effort. A problem-solving activity therefore may appear to the casualobserver to be random. Nevertheless, guidelines for procedure are always helpful, at least as a check-list forensuring completeness of the task, and to categorize the (written, drawn, etc.) records of activities.

The initial inception of this idea came under the auspicious ofthe Amarillo National Resource Center for Plutonium (ANRCP) where DOE funding wassecured to support research activities at the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&Mand Texas Tech, with the hope of eventual placing students at PANTEX and othernational laboratories. At the University of Texas funding was also received to offer M.S.and
