resources such as wind and hydro. I- INTRODUCTION It quite possible that the lack of interaction between traditional course syllabus andmathematical or simulation tools has resulted in a fall of student enrollment in the coursesclassified as heavy current or power engineering in comparison with computer based courses.With the availability of mathematical and engineering simulation software, this trend can beaverted. Starting from the use of dedicated software incorporated in the textbook package [1] tonavigated hyperlink data sites [2], the tutor can introduce the course material in such a way thatstudent interaction is ensured. However, the uses of dedicated software packages are so specificthat they
unfortunate that this practice-relationship comes too late in the development of future engineers. It is then left to an organization that has adifferent primary goal, and is not concerned with education. One frequently hears complaints that engineeringcurricula are too abstract and mathematical. Humanities have been attached to engineering curricula as external contributions from other departments,usually in the form of service courses, and as electives. Contextual connections to engineering and the engi-neering sciences is mostly lacking. Students tend to perceive these courses as unrelated (to engineering) andunimportant trimmings -- hairy (or bald) professors talking around their own pet subjects in a world-remote andisolated way, without

defining what counts as fundamental knowledge. Acolleague once referred to our undergraduate education as “the grind” which students had to getthrough in order to be able to function as an engineer. Is the grind necessary in the era of easilyaccessible information? Who are we weeding out by requiring internalization of facts?Consider calculus 1 and 2 which are required for just about every engineering student. Finding acentroid is part of every good integration lesson, yet students get to basic courses without the firstidea of how to do that calculation or how centroids relate to balance points or centers of gravity.Should those basic math courses actually be required? Consider the freedom that a program wouldhave if the 6-8 credit hour courses

In fact, Salomon (1993) andSchrage (1990) explicate that interactive or cooperative communities provide a richerenvironment in which to share and develop ideas and engage in learning, than do more didacticinstructional environments. When members of a classroom possess and practice all three ofHymes constructs, cooperative learning communities can exist and thrive.The task of becoming an asynchronous studentProblems.
