Foil 52 Impact of Web Technology on Engineering and Physics Education

From Education, Research and Institutional Models for Universities in the Next Millenium Seminar at University of Houston -- May 10 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 There is the same opportunity available to any education area to use new delivery and preparation methods
  • This opportunity is also a challenge as virtual university opens up teaching at all universities to other providers
2 Comparing "books" with the Web, we see that Web offers opportunities for "technical people" as well as those with good "communication skills" -- Java applets combined with numerical algorithms may be more effective than streams of beautiful English words
  • Maybe this would suggest new degrees with a mix of engineering, physics, "classical mathematical methods" and Web technology
3 The new technologies should allow better integration of research into education -- this could help academic fields communicate their value more effectively
