Someinstitutions, including Stanford University, have turned to CBT as an alternative way totrain their technical staff, faculty and students, i.e. Stanford University1. CBT certainly istempting for program directors who run large information-technology programs. These ITprograms are responsible for IT fluency, which is a top national educational need2.Many institutions and computer science and engineering programs with lab components arestruggling with the following problems associated with introductory computing courses:Limited physical space (computer labs and classrooms); Limited access to physicalfacilities; Limited technical and technology support for

A special emphasis was placedon networking and distributed operating systems in order to meet the needs oftelecommunications engineering technology students.The course consisted of ten learning modules - each module being one week long. At theend of each week, a private performance feedback message was sent to each student.Besides the comments on performance, the message clearly stated the number of pointsearned toward the final grade.

Now the functioning of industry ina global environment has led to formation of virtual teams. These virtual teams, unlike traditionalteams, must accomplish their objectives by working across distance and time and by usingtechnology to facilitate collaboration.In the last few years higher education has undergone many changes, but a significant change hasbeen in the increased use of technology in the classroom.

To address this purpose, we explored the following question: Based on the landscape of publicly-available data that is currently collected at a national level, how can the participation of underrepresented racial/ethnic groups in engineering be empirically monitored?To this end, we identified and reviewed multiple STEM-related data sources to highlight theways the

This paper reports interim results of using the iPAQs in thoseintroductory Engineering and Computer Science courses during Fall semester, 2001.As with any new technology, time has been needed to find constructive ways to applythese iPAQs in the curriculum, and that effort is continuing.

However,biomedical/bioengineering programs did not receive accreditation until the 1970s, and even by2000, only twenty-six programs were ABET accredited.
