Delivering a complete 2-yr engineering science curriculum in asynchronous mode on the web

The Engineering Science (ES) Department at Broome Community College (BCC) studied implementation of its entire curriculum in the Asynchronous Learning (ASL) mode while participating in the National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored Beta Coalition during the 1997-98 academic year. As a result, five required courses and one elective course were offered in the Fall 1998 semester using the SUNY Learning Network (SLN) as its delivery system. Six additional courses were added in the Spring of 1999. This paper describes the process used and current progress towards delivering an AS degree in Engineering Science entirely over the Internet. The Engineering Science curriculum at BCC prepares students for transfer into junior level upper division courses at four year engineering schools across the USA.
