Quick response has become a major component of success in business and couldbe achieved by having companies join forces together and work in a virtual organizationenvironment. To translate this to engineering education practice means to emulate the fast-trackproject environment, where group members are expected to operate as a highly effective teamand deliver quality products on time and within a tight budget.Providing such an environment for students to work in has been the driving force behinddesigning the project management course described in this paper.The product-based-learning approach used in the project management course has been praised inmany publications (see

We believe the CCS system engages students during class byproviding them with timely feedback, and assisting the instructor in setting the pace forintroducing new material. This paper describes the result of this initial investigation for usingCCS in engineering education and discusses research we are conducting on the next generationof CCS for higher education.IntroductionClassroom Communications Systems (CCS) are methods that can provide useful
