The growing Internet culture makes synchronous teaching seem natural; the latestgeneration of students has grown up with a keyboard in hand and Internet connection the norm.Because of the pervasive use of electronic mail (email) for student assistance and mentoring,fewer students avail themselves of instructors’ office hours. Attending class over the Internet isthe logical next step, allowing students to spend time studying instead of commuting.Many educators associate synchronous distance education with television delivery. Thus, theygenerally assume that Internet distance education means video delivered via the Internet.However, when combined with the personal computer, the Internet offers a means of electronicdelivery that

There was no evidence of calculus or of differential equations. The math andscience requirements of the engineering curriculum aside, one did not need to use calculus ordifferential equations directly to solve the practical problems of HVAC system design. For thisapplication, the problem could be reduced to a simple formula. To use this, one did have to becareful to put information in the correct units, as ductwork dimensions were often given ininches. Page 10.62.4
