An Internet Approach for Engineering Student Exercises Richard Perry Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Villanova University, Villanova, PA 19085An approach for engineering student exercises using the Internet is described. In this approach,for a given exercise, each student receives the same problem, but with different data. Theexercise content can be static or dynamic, and the dynamic form can be timeless or real–time.The implementation provides immediate feedback to the students, letting them know if theirsubmitted answers are correct. Student results for each exercise are recorded in log files whichare available to the instructor. Example

been considered an essential experiential learning method in higherengineering education. It can immerse students in real-world practices and bridge the gap betweentheory and practice. Internship experience is particularly crucial in fields with strong practicalemphasis, such as construction. Recognizing the value of student internship experiences, manyuniversities embed internship courses within their curriculum, and even making them aprerequisite for graduation. However, despite the widespread presence of internship programs,there still exists a gap between the requirements and offerings from the industry and theexpectations of students. Such gap can affect the efficacy of student learning experience,potentially undermining the objectives
