Therefore, knowledge age professors must continually work toward the mastery ofthis information searching iteration process by suggesting illustrative key words for any givenproblem.An example is using multiple class texts by putting such books on library reserve. However, theinformation technology procedure is to utilize multiple appropriate Internet web pages. Often,this results in not only solving advanced engineering problems but also multiple processing be-cause the ongoing critical analysis suggests that the current solution is too narrow or incomplete.Today, such final analyses will often be performed with the aid of

The faculty decided that the best approach was to reduce theamount of information delivered and increase the interactive value of the planned activities.Thus, the emphasis would be on discovery learning.Fourth, the instructors considered the types of media and technology available to them andmapped these to the learning outcomes and content requirements. The emphasis was on visualsand simulations since these tend to simplify the information. Templates were developed that maybe re-used for other on-line engineering courses. These templates integrated simulation andmodeling tools, embedded resource materials, and provided alternative delivery strategies thatmeet learner needs

The changing international role of this countrydemands that leaders of educational institutions ensure that their graduates have adequateknowledge of global issues (Smickler and Sommers, 1989).In a modern global economy, international trade is essential for continued economic growth of anation.

This will be achieved by such mechanisms as solvingtwo closely related problems using material from two different courses and using the output of amodule from one class as an input to a different module. This type of integration would bedifficult to achieve without the use of the technology.The fact that we are using information technology to achieve this integration of the curriculumalso enhances a student's ability to solve engineering problems.
