This paper will draw these following conclusions from more than a year of research,which included over 100 students in six different course offerings. First, the Internet-basedstudents performed equally as well as the control group students. Second, students tend to haveexaggerated time requirement expectations for Internet-based classes. Third, students tend tohave positive course effectiveness experiences. Fourth, students tend to be very skeptical ofelectronic lectures but their experiences are positive. Fifth, learning styles play a roleinfluencing student expectations regarding Internet-based education. This influence is especiallystrong in student course time

This mathematical communication must be included in theproject report that requires the use of Microsoft Word. All projects require visual representationof the final design, and this must be included in the project report as well. Many students havealready been exposed to these software packages but need to be shown the more sophisticatedcapabilities required when communicating technical information. Once a written report has beencompleted the students must prepare and present the solution orally to the instructor and theclass. Most professional engineers require oral presentation skills and it takes time and practiceto perfect them. Microsoft PowerPoint is

have been added to the course to morerealistically reflect a real-life design project. These enhancements include a number of features,all of which attempt to show the relationship between analysis and design. The studentsemployed spreadsheet based mathematical models to optimize key parameters in their designprojects. Experiments were carried out to empirically determine energy-related parameters thatmay affect their design. Finally, limited application of error analysis was introduced byencouraging the students to examine expected performance when key parameters were varied.This paper discusses the success of this modified project approach, and possible improvementsthat might be incorporated in the future

The curriculum focused on engineering design,technical communications, and included a design project. Academic scholarships were awardedto all participants based on a team design project competition. The competition included thedesign of web pages, documentation in individual design notebooks, and a presentation toindustry representatives and parents.During the summer of 1996, 44 students participated and completed the program.

It is not a topic which isfrequently considered to be an administrative issue, but there are a number of thingsadministrators can do to improve retention. Retention is critical if for no other reason than itdoes us no good to recruit a student if we do not retain that student. Students leave school orchange majors for a variety of reasons, some of which are totally out of the control of theinstitution. However, some situations exist where we can help

Within a very short period of time, the tutors had developed so that, rather thanseeing their role as a surrogate teacher, they now understood their role to be that of afacilitator. The fact that the peer tutors could use real scientific concepts in their role playshelped to provide a focus. It also ensured that the tutors realised that they really could usegroup process and discussion to solve even technical problems. The scheme, with its possiblepitfalls and solutions, is discussed in the context of materials science.1. IntroductionPeer tutoring schemes have been successfully
