In the following, we describe our vision of a collaborative engineering environment, the Collaborative Design Studio, consider issues and questions relating to the effective design and evaluation of such systems, and describe proposed studies for evaluating and evolving the current environment. This work is being undertaken at the Geometric and Intelligent Computing Laboratory at Drexel Univers...

Web-based multimedia tutorials are being developed for use in several undergraduate courses in Electrical Engineering and Computer and Systems Engineering at Rensselaer. These interactive learning modules (ILMs) are created with the Director authoring environment and can be deployed using a standard Web browser with Macromedia's Shockwave plug-in as the interface. The ILMs can be used by facult...
