Abstract

This paper presents first hand experience with the development and implementation of interactive multimedia instructional materials for an engineering economy course attended by 1000 engineering students over three years at Virginia Tech. The interactive software was developed from a National Science Foundation grant aimed at enhancing the undergraduate engineering curriculum through increased emphasis on design and economic principles. The purpose of this paper is to describe the type of multimedia instructional materials that were developed, how they were implemented, and, finally, to present an evaluation of the results from a survey in which the benefits of multimedia-based support materials were assessed
