Abstract

The National Engineering Education Delivery System (NEEDS) is an entirely new courseware development and distribution system which is designed to provide widespread, rapid, electronic access to an almost arbitrarily large number of diverse instructional modules. Curricular material in the NEEDS database is organized according to a diverse range of indices. Links across disciplines are provided in the form of "curricular paths" through the elements in the database
