(Peters and Pedrycz 200018).Deliberate application of this paradigm can sometimes lead to growing pains in programs inwhich this occurs. When software engineering education is viewed as a necessary part of acurriculum, but different and distinct from other curriculum areas, it can end up in unhealthycompetition for scarce resources. In contrast, we suggest a much more optimistic vision inwhich software engineering is made into a positive force for other educational goals andbecomes a tool for helping to teach other topics more efficiently. As a valuable side effect thiswill also help familiarize students and faculty with software engineering concepts.We are taking software engineering education beyond something that existing programs

Using an application-oriented, hands-on approach, EGR 101 addresses only the salient math topics actually used in avariety of core engineering courses. These include the traditional physics, engineeringmechanics, electric circuits and computer programming sequences. Most importantly, EGR 101replaces traditional math prerequisites for the above core courses, so that students can advancein the engineering curriculum without having completed a traditional freshman calculussequence. This has enabled a significant restructuring of the curriculum, including theplacement of formerly sophomore-level engineering courses within the first year.

Finally, the goal for the future stagewas to provide a robust environment including additional management services, e-mail services,enhancement to Internet connectivity, and a portable computer for each cadet. With these stages we established an initial five year plan for development. We definedmultiple programs and initiatives with associated milestones and metrics that fit into the stages.Thus far, we have completed the starting and developing stages and we are well on our way tocompleting the mature stage. For the purpose of explaining our framework, we will describe theprogress toward achieving the goals of the mature stage in some detail. NMAA has not

While many young facultymembers have excellent mentors, others have come to rely on trial and error and word ofmouth10.

Online education alsocontinues to experience higher percentage of dropouts than the in-person face-to-face programs[3-5]. Several reasons for students dropping out from the online courses/programs have beendocumented, including feeling isolated [6], challenges with balancing academics and personaldemands [7-9], inadequate faculty and peer support [6][9-10], challenges with technology [7][11],and lack of engagement [7][11-12].

In Australia, there has been a marked change overrecent years in student life brought about by a substantial increase in part-time work to meet thehigher costs of their education. As a consequence, formal instruction is increasingly becoming asmaller proportion of the educational experience of students, with the Internet and other forms ofremote, asynchronous, team-based and distance learning replacing the conventional laboratoriesand lectures.

understandwhat strategies could be used to better fit the need of the new generation learners.IntroductionStudent learning style evolves with time. Gioia and Brass1 in 1985 noted that the college studentsbeing taught then were a “TV Generation”, who were raised in an environment dominated byvisual images. In early 2000, the new “Virtual Generation” appeared with prevalent virtualmedia such as Internet and videogames2. While it may not be necessarily a single or evendominant learning style for any generation of students, it is necessary to understand what is theneed for the current and upcoming generations. The current and incoming tech-savvy learnersgrow up with the digital world. The advancement of technologies makes learning moreaccessible. Mobile
