Abstract

The University of Missouri‐Rolla, the state's, "technological university," has proposed a televised distance education program that would originate on the UMR campus and be delivered to community colleges and four‐year institutions within the state not now offering engineering. The program would include the use of computer‐integrated multimedia classrooms at both the home site and remote sites and would permit two‐way transmission of video, audio, and data. Student response units would also be used at both sites to permit immediate feedback from the students to the instructor. Due to the cost of this proposal, it was determined a pilot study would be necessary to determine the effectiveness of the suggested program. This paper presents the research findings of the pilot study. The research suggests a televised interactive multimedia distance education program for engineering majors would be feasible. 1994 American Society for Engineering Education
