to engineeringinstruction.I. IntroductionOver the past year faculty in Engineering and Physics have been teaching with a tools suite calledWeb-4M. The collaboration and information sharing tools found in Web-4M can be applied to anydiscipline, but the rich nature of visualization tools found in Web-4M (an not found in many othercollaboration products) made it especially useful in teaching engineering and science. Web-4M, aproduct developed by JDH Technologies, is unique in that it is a hybrid tool suite containing bothsynchronous and asynchronous tools useful in both web-based and traditional classes. This mixallows greater flexibility in presentation of material in a learning environment. It also opens up arealm of possibilities not

Inthe early 2000s, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) set effectivecommunication as one of the evaluation criteria for engineering programs [1]. However, severalresearchers identified a gap between employer expectations and new engineering graduates’ oraland written communication abilities in the workplace [2], [3]. The disparity is probably driven byengineering students and faculties’ perception; that is, engineering is a technically
