The Best of Both Worlds: Hybrid Learning Michael Reynolds, David Paulus University of Arkansas – Fort Smith Abstract Hybrid courses are a combination of online and traditional instruction that have thepotential to improve student learning while reducing faculty teaching time and universityresource usage. The University of Arkansas – Fort Smith Mechanical Engineering departmentrecently implemented two approaches to hybrid courses. One course reduced in class time by67% through implementing online video instruction. Another course reduced in class time by33% through an interactive online homework system. In both cases learning actually improvedeven though

, BRAZIL E-mail: drbrito@copec.eu Abstract - The differences between ET and traditional engineering programs are not always obvious. There is a great overlap between the two fields of study. In most engineering schools, both types of engineering programs strongly emphasize mathematics and science, especially physics and calculus. While the main topics in both programs appear similar, ET content emphasizes the application of engineering techniques and traditional engineering content will focus on the development of concepts, it is what is called design engineering. ET graduates and traditional engineering programs complement each other in skills and interests. Application engineers work with

Technology, we have been offering a five-day intensive course on VC++ to Hitachi employees for the last 4 years. The prerequisite of the course is reasonably good knowledge and experience with the C language. Based on our experience in teaching the course, we have discovered difficulties that most programmers commonly share in learning VC++ and developed an effective approach to teach VC++. The course evaluation indicates that a majority of the attendants have been satisfied with the course and reported the improvement in their mastery of VC++ after taking the course. In this paper, we discuss the difficulties in learning VC++, report our approach, and conclude with evaluation by the course attendants.1
