Teaching Engineering Economics Via Distance Education

Abstract

Driven by demand for distance education, the instructor lecturing to a room of students is replaced by a "virtual classroom". This new method of delivery, coupled with the necessity for unique course administration procedures, requires a teaching approach that differs significantly from that of a traditional classroom. This paper outlines demonstrated challenges with learning and teaching via streaming video over the internet as they relate to teaching a technical class such as engineering economics. Effective communication both in and out of the classroom is discussed, along with administrative issues such as remote submittal of assignments and administration of exams. Finally, the paper presents a recommended approach to managing such issues so that instructors may provide a student-friendly learning environment.
