This led to the interest in developing a web-basedcurriculum that could reach prospective students outside our traditional service area. We havehad considerable success in delivering ARET 212 Applied Project Management via our ownCART CMS and wanted to explore the possibility of using it more extensively throughout thecurriculum. This expansion of web-based delivery presents obvious and not so obviouschallenges particular to the delivery of an ARET Online curriculum. We are in the process ofcritically analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of such program delivery.2. ARET Online Admission RequirementsTo enter our program a student must be 21 years of age and

current curriculum?Another question that seems to be pertinent is how do students learn best? There is muchresearch and discussion on the topic, but most educators generally agree that studentslearn best anything that they experience themselves as well as normally do repetitively.Many engineering educators have homework, design projects, and mid-term exams, andmany times topics are tested again on a final exam. This process allows the student tofirst wrestle with the concept at their own pace in a homework assignment where theycan collaborate with others before being asked to test their skills within a timed eventsuch as an exam. Learning by doing is the primary basis behind the growth of project-based learning (PBL) opportunities.4 Some programs

Theydid, however, emphasize the ways that the abilities they acquired in their engineering education-- namely technical problem solving, critical thinking, communication, and teamwork -- werewhat allowed them to succeed as engineers. To the surprise of our current students, the panelistsall agreed that one of the most useful classes they took was public speaking.

That engineering, science and law share common ground comes as nosurprise but what about engineering and the liberal arts or the social sciences? Yet manyof engineering’s greatest failures have come from the failure to take into account thehuman dimension.” 11While there may be common ground between engineering and law the two subjectsapproach “evidence” in different ways as American engineering educator Woodson madeclear in his treatise on engineering design.12 (See exhibit 1).
