Engineering Education Benefits From Interactive E-Learning and the HumanitiesBy: Katarina Larsen and Johan GärdeboKTH – Royal Institute of TechnologyDivision of History of Science, Technology and EnvironmentThis paper engages with how to construct tools for student activation,using analytical models, web-based feedback and critical reflectioninengineering education. Learning requires different levels ofunderstanding and means to appropriate and formulate knowledge.However, peer instruction and student participation require a degree offacilitation, which is a role the teacher needs to analyse and developbefore students can be demanded to demonstrate increased participationin course content, feedback and

Page 13.1326.2The answer is that we need to engage the students, be more involved with each one, develop apractice in the student to learn new technologies quickly and then help them become more self-directed so that they will start their journey of lifelong learning.

There is no specific resolution of thisissue at this time, but potential solutions are being explored as part of a current university projectrevising faculty policies.Technology plays a major role in engineering education. Besides the many ways in which it iscurrently tapped, it can also be used to help reduce the teaching workload. For example facultymembers can use podcasting to help students review and understand difficult concepts. Similarly,they can use online simulation tools to help students understand key concepts. Integrating theirteaching with such technological tools such as Tablet PC, Blackboard and eCollege, can helpthem reduce the amount of time they spend in face-to-face interaction with their

In this regard, it has affected the traditional distancelearning by transforming it from a static videotape delivery to a more dynamic format by addingor substituting the web as the delivery media. Our focus in this paper is the use of hybrid e-learning with virtual face-to-face for a distance course delivery. We believe that
