The paper will conclude with observationsgleaned from the preliminary run of this course and an outline of plans for continuing this intothe future.History and LogisticsCollaboration between the Colleges of Engineering and Education at Boise State was started in2001 after the respective college Deans attended an IEEE sponsored workshop. An ad-hoccommittee was formed which introduced the faculty of the respective colleges to each otherproviding a chance to develop a sense of trust. This led to a collaboration that produced the“Engineering for Educators” course.Several options were considered for how more engineering could get infused into

A virtual team is a team of people for which the primarymeans of interaction is something other than face-to-face, although team members may meetface-to-face occasionally.

Many basic tasks, such as office hours, help sessions and even lecturing, can be done more efficiently and conveniently over the Internet with the right collaboration tools. However, there are few commercially available tools that work well for engineering. Engineers have special needs like vector-based graphics that can be edited, equations, illustrations, diagrams and other hard to create images. These tools also
