These technologies are routinely used inpopular television shows such as Crime Scene Investigation and NCIS among others. Indeed, it
principles at the undergraduate level. The use ofhands-on simulations and a rich visual environment facilitates learning of abstract conceptsand stimulates student interest.IntroductionWithin the last fifteen years, computer-based simulation has become an integral part ofdesign, analysis and research in fluid dynamics. As in other fields of engineering, the in-creasingly widespread use of computation has been driven by the dramatic reduction in thecost of computing hardware and the maturing of off-the-shelf, commercial software pack-ages. Despite the prevalence of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software in industryand research, their use in our undergraduate curriculum has been slight to non-existent
to grasp.While much research in our field is done on how engineering students best learncommunications methods [2, 3], little focus is on how staff and staff deal with thistechnical content of their job. Our expertise in our own field is assumed, yet I doubt thereare many writing instructors who can claim to never have felt a bit out of their league withthe content of a student’s technically-based writing assignment.This paper concerns a question I have been thinking about for some time: How muchtechnical/engineering knowledge does a humanities-trained communications instructorneed to teach well in the engineering school environment? This question, is, howeversomewhat difficult to answer because the bottom line is that “it depends.” It

The issues and techniques are illustrated withexamples from the information systems course taught fully online by the author.1. IntroductionSeveral universities in U.S. already offer engineering courses through the World Wide Web andsatellite broadcasts. These courses are beginning to replace or supplement traditional classroominstruction with convenient, self-paced distance education, and reach a larger student body acrossU.S. Courses offered through satellite broadcasts are not very much different from classroominstruction, and therefore, require instructors to make minor changes in their course design to
offer a classroom experience to remotestudents at a level of interaction far beyond what could previously be done with correspondencecourses.Recognizing this opportunity, the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is converting theirM.S.M.E. degree so that it can be taken completely over the World Wide Web from anywhere inthe world. Our program has five main features: (a) Full integration of the online students asnormal students in our existing classes; (b) Emphasis on encouraging personal relationships; (c)Robustness; (d) Standard, generic software; and (e) Enhanced education for the local as well asonline students.Full integration of the online students in the program means, among others, that online studentsfollow the class as much as possible
