These “Introduction to Engineering”courses are usually in the form of a series of presentations by department faculty from thevarious disciplines. They may have literature available, use laboratory demonstrations, anddiscuss the variety of positions open to their discipline in industry. They may also mentionopportunities for graduate study in their field and the availability of research and doctoral study.The remainder of the student’s schedule in their first year usually consists of courses dealingwith a fundamental body of knowledge as presented in the required mathematics, physics

Students must rely on different learningskills, and this makes teaching the course a fascinating challenge. One common thread to the dif-ferent components of the course is that it does not require a physical laboratory, and this makes ita candidate for web based teaching.

Evolutionary design appeals to students’ interests Anyone who has ever seen a child disassemble a clock or other appliance, eyes alight withcuriosity and excitement can easily see the appeal ‘de-construction’ holds even for an olderperson. Reverse engineering, as part of evolutionary design, sparks students’ interest because itappeals to the human urge to find out ‘what makes the thing tick.’ Also, freshmen engineeringclasses are often teach the theory and the concepts without providing the opportunity to applythese concepts. Consequently, many engineering professionals and researchers would like to seereformed curricula giving freshmen the opportunity to actively apply
