IntroductionThere is an increasing demand for engineering education around the world, as well as increasingopportunities to leverage technology for this purpose. As one response, we are seeking to createa complete on-line introductory-level Statics course for novice learners. This project is part of awider Open Learning Initiative (OLI) at Carnegie Mellon University, supported by the Williamand Flora Hewlett Foundation, to develop cognitively-informed high quality on-line courses.With this Statics course we hope to increase the number of learners that can be reached(including independent learners), and to support other instructors with

Thesoftware studio is designed to enable a student with a non-technical background to make thetransition to the study of information science at a graduate level. Since its introduction in thespring of 1999, this course has been offered during each spring, summer, and fall semester. Asthis is a relatively new course, it is undergoing continuous incremental improvements based on in-class experience, student feedback and changes in the industry.I.
