problem-centered approach.It is our hope that, with this approach (and the supporting materials), we are exposing engineeringstudents to a variety of real-world problems, modern engineering tools, and engineering designearly in their education. Since statics and dynamics courses are required of students in mostengineering majors (for example, at Penn State University, of the 16 engineering majors, 11 requirestatics and dynamics and 2 require both courses for at least some of their students) and becausethey are the first real engineering courses that most students see, this approach gives engineeringprograms the opportunity to excite the majority students about their engineering careers.At this point, we should emphasize the fact that what we are

The challenge in teaching thesecourses effectively is to provide complete representations of the different levels of abstractionrequired, along with as much class interaction as possible.In the Active Networks series offered by the Engineering Technology Department at theUniversity of North Carolina at Charlotte, course requirements involve the modeling ofmicroelectronic devices and circuits based on physical and operational properties and the use ofthese models in the design and analysis of systems using these devices.

of such internationalpartnering, the authors recommend one more year of partnering to obtain additional data tovalidate our recommendations and decide on recommendations for future capstone collaboration.As suggested by students in India, providing an opportunity to collaborate in a face-to- face, in-person environment even for two weeks during our winter break would increase the level ofcollaboration. Authors expect that a second year of collaboration and data will enable us toadvise the program on long-term options for collaboration outside of our university andespecially with international institutions.References 1.

Summary and conclusionsThis paper demonstrates the potential for using the Internet for performing design and analysisparticularly for imparting engineering education. The VRML technology used in this research isan open standard and inexpensive. However there are a number of limitations to the use ofVRML. The main drawback of VRML is that it is a polygon based surface representation, anddoes not allow solid data such as mass, density etc required by modern 3-D CAD systems to berepresented. Also it cannot model very complicated geometrical entities

isespecially true for new general education courses and unique freshmen and senior level courses. As aresult, the instructors often come from different disciplines. This team instruction approach has bothstrengths and weaknesses depending upon the course needs and the style of team teaching that is employed. In recent years, a renewal of general education has resulted in an increase in both the quantity andquality of the general education programs.’ Two specific areas of interest to engineering educators are an 2increase in courses that integrate ideas from a variety of fields and engineering-focused courses that non-majors take for general education credit.3’4’5 Engineering
