The only difference is that ASU course is taught at sophomore level instead of the freshman level with pre-calculus as prerequisite. Primarily, this course introduces students to the engineering career opportunity, course requirements, survival skills, team work, technical communications, design approach, and ethical practices.

Some are on-campus students that aretaking traditional courses, while others are taking them through distance education channels.This poses a challenge to the instructors, since their educational and personal backgrounds arevery different and these differences should be considered in the design of the class environment.Luckily, many of the engineering management programs have access to synchronous andasynchronous multi-media capabilities. This enables the instructor to provide new ways to dealwith this challenge by presenting information and the learning experiences through differentchannels. This paper discusses two ways of using simulation in engineering managementclasses. The first approach is asynchronous, in
