However, they often have no clear idea of how to pass this knowledgealong to their students beyond the general approach of carefully guiding their students’individual research efforts.

information research is more important in the 3rd and 4th years of undergraduatestudy9. This opinion is reasonable, since the first two years of science education are heavilyinvolved with “textbook” learning, where fundamentals are covered. This should not be the casefor engineering, though, especially as design is inserted into these lower level courses. A studentapproaching a design project needs to be able to investigate the information available on thetopic of the project. Thus, not only is it a desire of students to have information research trainingearly in their schooling, but coursework is making it a need. Another significant aspect of aweb-based information research course is that it would not take up class time – students couldwork through
