Various options to address this need wereconsidered by the Faculty Advisory Board of the Leonhard Center for the Enhancement ofEngineering Education, and a faculty taskforce on the ethical, societal, and global aspects ofengineering education at Penn State. Together the Faculty Advisory Board and the Taskforceconsidered different sets of learning objectives for ethics education and possible options forachieving those objectives. However, despite considerable effort, the groups could not agree on aset of objectives or on a single approach to ethics education. Ultimately the groups reached thedecision that each department should define its own learning objectives related

Page 5.460.1Over the last few years, several national efforts have been initiated to develop multi-media and web-based education material [2-9]. Most of these efforts focused on developing Graphical UserInterfaces (GUI) for the purpose of "display", but with limited interactivity. Based on our research,none of today’s web-based educational tools allow students to perform a generalized and real timesimulation of engineering problems in the interactive web-based instructional environment.

Current research in computer–based tutoringsystems have yielded us few programs suitable for field use, but have provided us awealth of didactic functions. Among these are problem solving strategies and moretactical discourse elements. Both of these are intended to help students bridge theirunderstanding for the material – an engineering course in this case – to new knowledge.The
