Abstract :
Prototype Web based resources have been developed for an undergraduate course in numerical methods. The Web modules are holistic, that is they include pre-requisite information, real-life applications, presentations and notes, simulations, and self-assessment. The student interest and learning are maximized by providing customization of content based on a student´s engineering major and computational system of choice.
