Abstract

One of the main goals of the SYNTHESIS coalition is the development of the National Engineering Education Delivery System (NEEDS). After giving a brief overview of the NEEDS, the authors give a description of their local implementation of the NEEDS concept, an implementation that can be used by all engineering programs to share curricular material in digital form. This local version, implemented at California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo, has used existing university resources found on most campuses with engineering programs: the library, UNIX-based local area networks, and information services
