Abstract

It is generally agreed that computers coupled with multimedia technology offer great potential to improve engineering curriculum delivery. Faculty understand this but are deterred by the tremendous amount of time/work required to develop technology based course materials. ENGR 4510 is a course developed and used in the College of Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, USA, to assist faculty in technology-based courseware development by using student time, energy and talent. After three years, this course has proven very successful in improving the delivery of College of Engineering curricula by stimulating the production and use of multimedia technology for the teaching/learning environment
