According to Allen and Seaman, “Over 5.6 million students were taking at least oneonline course during the fall 2009 term; an increase of nearly one million students over thenumber reported the previous year.”1 This represents a 21 percent growth rate while there wasonly a 2 percent growth rate for higher education student population.1 With this movementcomes the challenge to meet the quality offered by traditional face-to

CAD is often taught in one or morefreshman or sophomore courses and focuses largely on static geometric issues associated withparts, assemblies, and drawings. It is commonly paired with a track on drafting. SystemDynamics is often a sophomore or junior level mechanical engineering course and emphasizesapplied mathematical modeling of systems from different energy domains, incorporates suchsimulation software as MATLAB® and Simulink®, and could be enhanced by CAD. At theUniversity of St. Thomas, currently System Dynamics is not a required course in

Starting in Fall 1996, EECS 100 has been a required course. In Fall1996, 260 students took the course. In Spring 1997, 380 students are enrolled (as of this writing).The reaction of the students has been overwhelmingly positive.The introduction of a new first course clearly has a rippling effect on the material that can betaught in subsequent courses.
