The discussion board implemented is a free piece of software created by Matt Wrightcalled “WWWBoard4”. A discussion board will allow everybody to see in real time whatprojects ideas are being proposed. Everyone will then know the scale of the other projects, andcan begin identifying people that are working on similar projects, or even find partners. Once a project idea has matured enough, a team will officially be formed, a

Due to the two part structure and inorder to expose the students to the faculty, it is also team taught. The course counts as twocredits, with the format one hour lecture and three hours lab. The basswood bridge is the majorproject of the ME half and counts for one quarter of the total course grade. The object, as isusual with bridge projects, is to design, build and test a truss bridge having a high strength toweight ratio. The design process includes statics analysis in combination

The developed architectureopens the door for more participation from teachers and instructors in developing their owncourses using ITSs and hence for more conviction with ITSs’ role in education.1- IntroductionIt is known that the development of any applied ITS is an extremely difficult and complexproblem. This is because most of the developers start their ITSs from scratch, and thereforethey have to build all of its complex parts, which take great effort and long time. In general,applied ITSs are developed on the basis of preliminary elaborated Expert Systems (ES) in thedomain under study. These ES model the processes of problem solving in certain
