A two-step approach has been developed to solve this problem: First, the student has access to interdisciplinary
materials in engineering, mathematics, and physics. For example, a student studying a course in electricalengineering
technology will have access to course modules that cover the proper topics in physics and mathematics.
Moreover, a student can use a virtual physics laboratory to perform specific experiments related to a theory.
Secondly, by creating virtual space, that is, a place on the Web, a student can easily navigate from one subject to
another. To achieve this goal, e-modules of courses have been developed with cross-references between common
key terms and definitions. If a student in electrical-engineering technology needs to review a specific concept or
topic in physics or mathematics, the e-modules will provide the appropriate linkage. To support this service, a Web
site accessible to the students has been constructed.
