Session 1665 Implementation of an On-Line Multimedia Collaborative Linear Algebra Tutoring System Carlos R. Morales, Nishant Kothary Purdue University, Knoy Hall, Room 363, West Lafayette, IN, 47907AbstractFew courses undertaken by students in their first two years of engineering education are asabstract as linear algebra. The content is not only critical for future success, but considerablydifficult at the same time, because most students are unfamiliar with abstract mathematicalconcepts at that point in their lives. Many courses around the nation augment their
expertise was in MEA problem formulation, while theGRA’s expertise was in MEA mathematical modeling. Only through collaboration could theinstruction for TAs on the specific topics be well planned and cohesive. The experiences facedby the PR were similar to those encountered by new faculty members, where seeking help fromcolleagues with similar backgrounds or with complementary expertise could help enhance theteaching of a subject.Furthermore, having faculty mentors that have similar goals in engineering education helpsaccelerate learning and provides support for innovation efforts made in engineering curriculum Page 22.1218.12and instruction

The inaugural Frontiers of Engineering Education (FOEE) symposium was held inNovember 2009. NAE solicited nominations from engineering deans and its membership, andthose nominated were invited to complete an on-line application. Approximately two-thirds ofthose nominated actually applied, and approximately one-third of the applicants (49) wereaccepted to the inaugural symposium.
