This exchangeof information regarding both educational content and socio-emotional information is importantto the learning dynamic and student experience (Johnson, Hornik, & Salas, 2008; Paechter &Schweizer, 2006; Richardson & Swan, 2003). As noted in the case of the structure andcoherence of the curriculum, this element of interaction is also important to face-to-face courseenvironments.Paechter, Maier, and Macher (2010) found that the instructor’s support of learning most stronglycontributes to learning achievements and student course satisfaction. Students attribute theinstructor’s counseling and support as key contributors to their development of courseknowledge

The faculty and the IAC believed that the course should give studentstool design knowledge as well as more computer aided modeling and drafting (CADD)techniques. In teaching this course, it was seen that the restructuring of this course actuallyplayed a big role of filling a gap in the curriculum.For years we had seen some fundamental drafting and design problems in senior design projectsin our MET program. This had caused great concern because these problems could be carriedinto their jobs. But we were not sure what were the major causes of the problems and whatwould be effective means to fix them.

The objective is to tie the concepts covered in class to laboratory models and experimentation. Automatic data acquisition and display methods will be used during testing to illustrate these concepts. • To help students develop a better understanding of structural design criteria.
