Feasibility of interactive eTextbooks with computationally intense contentAbstractWe evaluate the technical feasibility of creating pedagogically valuable, highly interactive contentin eTextbooks for the purpose of education in computationally intense fields. This research wasmotivated by the observation that emerging eTextbook technologies could help enhance theeducation of engineering students. Engineers often want to experiment and to be able to quicklysee meaningful results. They want to receive immediate feedback or response for their inputs.They want interactive learning tools. Engineers want trial-and-error with a realistic system, withwhich they can interact, even if it is a virtual one. The most

Key in this hasbeen the Welliver Faculty Summer Fellowship Program which, after a decade of operation, canbe considered to have met its initial expectations. Reasons for successes and failures will bediscussed and opportunities for future developments will be identified. Alumni of this programhave enhanced the relevance of engineering education by incorporating industry perspectives,and industry has benefited from the perspectives and insights brought by the faculty participants.The paper will survey the results from the program and relate them to the needs of the presentand future aerospace industry and engineering academe.IntroductionConsolidation, new technologies and

The focus of this project is on the design process and how to make anengineering drawing rather than on engineering calculations. The product must be designedusing 3D CAD systems. The designed product should be original and should have a potentialmarket. It should contain less than 8 parts and its prototype cost should be less than $1000. Thisproduct should require no basic technological breakthroughs and should be somewhat novel. Thestudents can not duplicate existing products. The project is designed to demand approximately 32hours of time. All students are required to present their design in front of the class and

The laboratory component is to beincluded in certain courses of any Engineering program. Civil Engineering needs to have the laboratoriessuch as Strength of Materials Laboratory, Civil Engineering Materials Laboratory and the SurveyingLaboratory. If the educational institution does not have one of those mentioned above, then theaccreditation by ABET is almost impossible to get.

The Integrated Learning Initiative will extend the concepts developedin these two programs at opposite ends of an engineering student’s undergraduate career, tocover much of the intervening period, and accommodate more students in the first and fourthyears.Queen’s has traditionally had a common first year for engineering students. Some of the firstyear laboratories seemed to do more to dissuade students from pursuing an engineering careerthan to encourage them. Recognizing that students come to Queen’s to be engineers; the firstyear program was redesigned over a period of three years, starting with a
