Concreteness will occurbecause students will “meet” theorists and experimental subjects (played by knowledgeableassistants) and hear thoughtful and humorous discussions about the theories andexperiments. Likewise, both active experimentation and reflective observation will beenhanced through the dramatic nature of the on-camera interactions between theorists andinstructors.IV.

The case material, based on the automotive manufacturingindustry, includes the description of the overall manufacturing system, seven multi-periodlaboratories across the two courses, and computer modules intended to support the design andanalysis activities in the laboratories. Over the duration of the project, the courses are beingtaught using the modified laboratories, and evaluations, including student surveys, gradecomparisons, and comparison of test question answers, are being conducted to compare studentperformance before and after the implementation of the proposed laboratories.

The document camera allowed for the use of figures or graphs tobe shown directly to the students, much in the way an overhead projector might be used in atypical classroom. However, the document camera had the further advantages of projecting goodcolor, zooming in on very small detail, and allowing objects or even textbooks to be projected.Thus, samples of lamps and electrical devices could be shown directly and students in bothclassrooms could see detail much better than a typical classroom.The laptop computer allowed for many class notes to be presented through computer

This interaction should help bothsides: academia people have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and experience in a realsituation, and industry people get the benefit of having additional knowledge and technologysources available to them. This project illustrates one of such interactions. It started when someacademia and industry people recognized a need for the foundry industry and it was decided towork together on such problem.

theresulting work is usually seen only by the instructor. Group reports are typically constructed by assigningsections or chapters to each team member, and joining the sections together at the end. This approach has beenpartly dictated by a lack of tools for collaboration. Tools are now available to permit shared creation of rich multimedia documents by teams of students.These documents can then be contributed to a common knowledge base. The Internet can be considered aglobally distributed, shared knowledge base.A Case Study: The University Space Network Pilot Project The University Space Network (USN) Pilot Project is a multi-institution collaboration established in1995 to develop and offer a multimedia-based course in Spacecraft

In industry, new-product development (NPD) requiresattention to detail at the individual project, business, and systems level to create a successfulproduct launch [2], whereas university engineering design courses tend to focus on the individualproject level. Cooper’s [2] NPD success drivers often reflect the type of skills that are a focus inCBE. For individual new-product projects, overlapping concepts include voice-of-the-customer,pre-work, definition, and iterations.
