| Abstract | Particle Technology has generally been neglected in the engineering curriculum in the USA, yet it is a very important interdisciplinary field vital to US economy. In order to make undergraduate engineering students more familiar with powder and bulk solids processing, we intend to bring some of the results from the recently completed NSF Combined Research and Curriculum Development (CRCD) project at NJIT into our undergraduate core laboratory courses in Mechanical and Chemical Engineering. To accomplish this, we are employing a unique approach that combines active participation of industrial partners in the selection, design, and delivery of the instructional modules, with current computer based technologies such as multimedia and the world-wide-web (WWW). The use of the Internet allows for more efficient delivery of instructional material and also rapid incorporation of new material. In addition, it allows for compiling a large amount of multimedia based information, available from our own research experiences and collaborations, through content sensitive links, and thus creates a vehicle for learner-oriented pedagogy. It also makes the task of dissemination much easier. In this paper, we describe our preliminary work that includes involvement of several faculty members, graduate and undergraduate students, and industrial partners. The final version of this courseware is expected to be available for dissemination by the end of 2001. |
