teachers who are: ‚ engineers according to IGIP principles and have studied according to the ‚ IGIP curriculum studies at accredited institutes ‚ plus have one year of teaching experience.2.2.2 Curriculum overview and recognitionIGIP has established a curriculum for engineering pedagogy which is used in several countries.This curriculum is a modular system which consists of core modules (8 Credit Points), theorymodules (4 Credit Points) and practice modules (8 Credit Points). The core modules includetheoretical and practical engineering pedagogy as well as laboratory methodology. The theorymodules include psychology, sociology, ethics, and intercultural competencies. The practicemodules consists of oral communication skills, scientific
of instruction and stu- dent support. Prior to joining UW-Madison, Wayne directed the Midwest solid waste consulting services of Camp Dresser McKee and led energy conservation research projects for Argonne National Laboratory. He has a BS in engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University, an MS in civil engineering with an emphasis in regional planning from Northwestern University, and is a licensed professional engineer.

delivery is to provide the opportunity for a freshlook at how to teach the material, and indeed what to teach, which can at the same time alsobenefit our traditional curriculum. Participation in developing an online program offers thecorollary of an attractive vehicle for faculty development. New areas of nanotechnology andbioengineering may be introduced into the curriculum as a result of the re-evaluation of coursesthat is taking place as we consider the specifics of a design of the online undergraduate program.From an operational standpoint, students will need access to the appropriate suite of softwaretools and hardware with the equivalent functionality currently readily available and supportedwithin the on-campus computer laboratories.

byJenson and Raisor did investigate the effectiveness of a course teaching Pro/Engineer, a high-endconstraint and parametric-based 3D solid modeling package.6 The distance-based course wasderived from an existing face-to-face course that contained both theory and a hands-onlaboratory component; similar to the present study. Jenson and Raisor linked their classroom onthe main campus of the university to a classroom at a remote location. A 50 minute connectionwas made three times a week for 15 weeks, resulting in interactive web-based lectures for theremote location. Students from both locations were required to complete 19 laboratory exercisesusing Pro/Engineer, however, the software was only resident at the main campus. Students at theremote

Often, teaching design-oriented and/ or field-related subjects dorequire “first-hand” knowledge that instructors could only get by having taken part, or beeninvolved in real engineering problems. Relying mainly on textbooks and/ or reference material,as the only source to teach from, is regarded by many, as an oversimplification or a deviationfrom reality.This paper sheds light on the pros and cons of opening-up to off-campus practitioners, andargues for engaging properly selected adjunct faculty in the teaching-learning process, inpartnership with “full-time” regular faculty members.

The other is amore traditional classroom, but the student tables are surrounded by workstations at theperimeter of the room, thus this classroom is also larger than a typical classroom at ouruniversity.The classrooms also contain an instructor Podium station equipped with a PC (connected to avideo projector), a document camera and lab

If a classroom existed that required activeparticipation of all students and instructors and there was immediate and meaningful feedbackbased on the students’ ability to demonstrate what was learned, would you use it?Not today and not next year, but during the professional career of most of today’s educators, thisclassroom will exist.

The director would be an engineering faculty member who could serve as programdirector, facilitator for the courses delivered at a distance, coordinate and teach any requiredlaboratories, serve as advisor to the student and do program marketing and outreach. If desirable,the program directors could also teach one of the distance-based courses. The staff memberwould handle course registration, provide office support and technical assistance. In addition, aprogram steering committee (composed of representatives from each of the three engineeringcolleges and the program directors) would coordinate the course
that synchronous courses beoffered at particular times (partner requests). Efforts were made to create long-term (2 to 3 year)schedules which provided the DL student with information about course future offerings.Furthermore, as DL programs became more popular at the university, access to a limited numberof DL classrooms (university controlled) became competitive. The department, and oureducational partners developed asynchronous classes which alleviated the time requirement, andallowed students who were on extended deployments to remain in the program. Furthermore, weused well-qualified adjunct faculty to teach courses pertinent to the degree. Many of thesefaculty were Ph.D.’s or MD’s employed by our partner, which allowed some of the courses
