Abstract

This work provides an account and evaluation of the development and integration of internet-based instructional resources and a managed learning environment. They were used to enhance teaching and learning of computer-aided engineering applications in support of engineering undergraduate courses. They provide instruction in the design of three-dimensional engineering models. Additional internet learning resources, in the form of self-assessment tutorials and quizzes, were developed in this work. This paper outlines an evaluation of the managed learning environment by the learners with a view towards setting this cohort's skills in context via an evaluation over a two-year period since its implementation.
