Web-based Learning in Engineering and Management Education: an IIDSP for Teaching of Inter-disciplinary Study Modules

摘要

This paper deals with a Web-based Integrated Knowledge-based Inter-discipline Study Portal (IIDSP) for teaching/learning of inter-disciplinary study modules in engineering and management education. A portal has been developed on an integrated knowledge-based approach within engineering, computational sciences and management domains. A due regard is focused on preparation of labs, exercises, simulation procedures and case studies applying the newest achievements of multimedia techniques and the means of visualization. The experience of six European Union countries has been used. Each partner as an informative agent represents hislher own development integrated via the Internet Web and forms the entire common educational system. Within an individual site, the site controller controls hislher own activities and communicates with other sites via the portal through the network interfaces. It is a multi-user method which combines the techniques of HTML, Java/Tapestry application framework and Web server Apache Tomcat. The presented development is intended to update the educational process in universities and colleges and to raise the vocational qualification of company engineers. It is being implemented both in university education process and in industry for employees re-training.
