The typical college or university has been slowto recognize this trend. This paper describes three courses that were developed to satisfy thisdemand. All three courses present the subject of programming PLCs with an emphasis on theengineering and the design of the programs.

Efforts to understand and reduce attrition[20, 21] have included predictive model development [22, 23] and the use of retention rates forbenchmarking [24]. These applications helped identify and confirm the factors that affectretention allowing more appropriate, and effective interventions to be designed; e.g., theintroduction of specific courses [25, 26]. A serious limitation of a number of the models topredict retention is the inclusion of independent variables whose values can only be obtained atthe end on the

Inaddition to the course content being delivered electronically via a CD-ROM, the homework andquizzes were designed and delivered in an electronic format over the Internet. Electronic-basedhomework and quizzes that are graded automatically by the system required all questions to beeither 'fill-in-the-blank' or multiple-choice. Changing the answer selection process to this formatwas the single most difficult change that the author had to encounter in implementing an all-electronic course.
