There were challenges in delivering course materials with the new approach as well.The challenges at different stages of implementation of the project on allocating time, budget, andpersonnel as well as the curriculum development and delivery will be shared in this paper. Lessonslearned from the first year implementation of this project can be used by the Principle Investigatoras a formative assessment to improve the process for the second year of implementation. Thispaper can also inform engineering education researchers of the challenges and potential strategiesto overcome these challenges and help them be more strategic during proposal writing andimplementation of similar projects.IntroductionAlthough the “chalk and talk” style of teaching

Past research has indicated that compared to traditional instructionalmethods, student-oriented instructional methods such as multi-media case studies that encouragestudent participation and active involvement in learning are better ways to accomplish theseobjectives.

Summary and conclusionsThis paper demonstrates the potential for using the Internet for performing design and analysisparticularly for imparting engineering education. The VRML technology used in this research isan open standard and inexpensive. However there are a number of limitations to the use ofVRML. The main drawback of VRML is that it is a polygon based surface representation, anddoes not allow solid data such as mass, density etc required by modern 3-D CAD systems to berepresented. Also it cannot model very complicated geometrical entities
