Abstract

A robust project-based engineering course at the undergraduate senior level, traditionally taught face-to-face synchronously, has been transformed to a distance course taught asynchronously using distance modes. In this case, pedagogical transitions, alterations, and adjustments are required for meeting the course objectives effectively and without sacrificing the instructional quality. Project collaboration in groups or teams requires effective communication, which is made possible in this case with extensive utilization of new information technology (IT) and communication tools such as virtual meetings. Some technologies used in transition from live to distance learning modes are summarized and their effectiveness is addressed experientially in this paper. This discussion includes some benefits of implementing project-based courses in the domain of distance learning modes. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2009.
