Noor | | Title: | Design Optimization Module for a Hierarchical Research and Learning Environment | | Publication Info: | The International Journal of Engineering Education, Volume 22 Number 5 2006, 1003-1012 | Abstract: This paper describes a learning module on design optimization courses within a hierarchical research and learning network. In this
environment a hierarchical learning network can be created to link diverse inter- and trans-disciplinary teams from a consortium of
universities, industry, government agencies and the providers of learning technologies. It is an approach that builds on computer-based
training, intelligent tutoring systems, interactive learning, collaborative-distributed learning, and learning networks. As an example of a
learning module in this environment, the present design optimization module has been developed and described. This module allows
learners of design optimization to get the course material at their own convenience via either the internet or packaged files.
Consequently, it is expected that the learner's ability to understand design optimization and review its pertinent details will be enhanced
significantly.
