Web Based Active Server Pages Module For Engineering Students

A self-contained module introduces the engineering student to dynamic Web based computer architecture and programming. Active Server Pages (ASP) technology allows the designer to harness the interactive and dynamic nature of the Internet, and take advantage of its information and data. ASP combines HTML, Scripting Languages, and Components, which are familiar to students, and relatively easy to master. VBScript, in fact, has a 'basic' language derivative, and therefore is relatively quick for students to understand and pick up. This ASP module has been utilized for electrical engineering sophomore students, but could be readily adapted to other students for webbased applications as well. A big advantage of this Active Server pages module is that with a minimum of instructor and student effort, engineering students can have web-based programming exposure. Sophomore engineering students are encouraged to utilize the Internet, and now they have the proper experience.
