Despite its growing pains, our students routinely givesimulteaching using NEW a strong endorsement (the average is better than four out of five onsemester-end evaluations). Based on these observations, and on our growing experience withsynchronous simulteaching using NEW, we conclude that there is a very large potential for thismode of distance education. However, it is important for both the supporting technology and theonline course management approach to be designed for scalability if synchronous online teachingis to

The design of the proposed program was basedon four principles: • Maintain similarities to the MXET-Mechatronics program currently offered on the main campus while ensuring a marine/ports flavor consistent with the mission of the Galveston campus. • Leverage courses currently offered by Marine Engineering Technology where possible. • Offer the necessary coursework to support a summer sea experience for interested students. • Ensure that the curriculum

Strategies pertaining to:(i) planning courses, (ii) conducting courses, and(iii)developing positive learning environment, in and outside the classroom, are discussed andsupplemented with general advice and suggestions based on the experience of the author.

It includes as prerequisites a course inDigital Logic (EET 254), and a basic course in Microprocessors (CENT 255). There are threehours of lecture each week and two hours of laboratory. The lab section has nine PC compatible486, 66 Mhz workstations with windows 3.1, allowing for 18 to 27 students, working in teams oftwo to three students each. The course has been taught each fall since 1989.The lecture section of the class consists first of a brief review of the digital and microprocessorcourses
