Registered Internet users can upload their own input data, such as seismic ground accelerations for a newly occurred earthquake, and therefore assess the behavior of a real structure to that earthquake. Two main characteristics of the developed web-based application are interactivity, provided through synchronized control/response processes, and sensor- based monitoring of the experiment, which are essential for real-time interactivity. The system is built on the dot-Net Framework through server-hosted Active Server Pages and browser-embedded

economic reasons cause the universities toconsider supplementing departmental personnel resources with part-time adjunct instructors inorder to alleviate the excessive academic workload required of the full-time professors. For 140computer engineering programs, it is highly desirable to recruit adjunct instructors from nearbyengineering communities. These instructors not only bring real-world experiences to theclassroom but also enable students develop the technical skills they will need to address futurechallenges. However, the adjunct instructors from the industry typically have full-timecommitments elsewhere and often find it difficult to accommodate typical in-classroom courseschedules.This paper

.” iii. “Another skill I had to put effort into was applying knowledge to solutions. It is very easy to learn the material for an exam and let it leave your brain once the test is over. But the real challenge is taking what you have learned in a lecture and being able to apply it to every application you face. These skills are important in the real world because lack of decision making can lead to detrimental setbacks. In industry “due dates” become hard set deadlines that if not met could lead to more severe consequences.” iv. “Another context specific skill I learned was how to create the same motion using different mechanisms.

Abstract At our institute, instructors of MFG 407 (Plant Design/Material Handling) have tried to teach this senior-level course by adopting a project-based approach. In the course, the students formed project teams and pursued their own interests in identifying real-world problems that they wanted to solve in sponsored projects. With the instructors’ facilitation, the students were self-motivated in learning. The endeavors to establish the project-based environment produced encouraging results. Students not only gained theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills but also acquired confidence to meet the challenges in their future professional development in manufacturing areas.

There were several factors that affectedthe technology’s effectiveness in these early days, including the availability and usability ofcomputer hardware, efficiency and usefulness of the CAD programs, and the willingness ofdrafting personnel to embrace the technology, which was usually inconsistent and frustrating touse. As time progressed, improvements in the technology and its applications gradually allowedfor a grudging acceptance of CAD in the workplace, followed by general usage, and finally
