fact, given the existence of many software packages for engineering analyses thathave migrated from desktops to mobile devices such as tablets and smart-phones, there may alsobe simulations that can be embedded within an eTextbook to enable the student to interact withplots, sketches, physically realistic situations, etc. Engineers already have a wealth of simulationtools at their disposal. The question then is can they be embedded in an eTextbook in a mannerthat enhances pedagogy?The key here is to embed the simulations in the eTextbooks as opposed to remote simulations over Page 24.602.3the internet or cloud 26,27 , virtual laboratories

Providing interactiveopportunities is always problem in education, either because of resources required or resourcesnot available. Usually laboratories are seen as the principal method for fostering interactivity. Asall educators know, laboratories require equipment, constant maintenance, and upgrading.Instructional designers recognize that physical laboratories are not the only method for fosteringan interactive environment.

However, the entire post-Grintercurriculum shifted to the study of tame problems. Something was clearly amiss. By the time,the momentum of the changes being introduced through the wholesale adoption of the Grinterframework was far too advanced to redirect. The only course of action was to let the changestake place and to seek to revitalize design through isolated coursework. To this end a largenumber of design textbooks have been produced over the years in an effort to place designeducation within the lecture, tutorial, laboratory framework. However, despite the best effortsof a small but dedicated group of

Thermal and Fluids Engineering I is typical of many analysis-basedcourses, which tend to dominate engineering curricula, while being distinctly different fromtypical laboratory and design courses. Clearly, the skills emphasized by all four learning stylesare useful in engineering practice. Yet, a curriculum which systematically “weeds out”imaginative and intuitive thinkers does a disservice to the field of engineering in particular and tosociety in general. Page 10.508.13

Courses leading toBachelor of Science engineering degrees were offered to employees of 3M.

In 2001, this program was modified to serve other individual students, and itbecame the Distance Engineering Degree Program (DEDP) delivering chemical, electrical andmechanical engineering courses.

The instructor attempts to answer as many of those requests as possible, but is alsoexpected to cover a number of pre-determined subjects in each lecture. Lectures are accompaniedby laboratory-based activities (labs).

It further demonstrates the power of "speaking two languages" and the inventivenessthat can emanate from a deep understanding of two fields. This inventiveness manifests itself inNabokov’s literary and scientific design, Leonardo’s pioneering work in comparative anatomy,Bach’s invention of new instruments with desired acoustical properties, and Borodin’s ability tojuggle his work in music composition and the laboratory, while publishing in both fields andchampioning women’s educational rights. He also invented at the interface of medicine andchemistry.The
