This paper describes the approach to the design of engineering education used by Helen Plants and Charles Wales at West Virginia University. Techniques used included behavioral objectives, generating correct responses, regular assessment, feedback and positive reinforcement, and programmed instruction, combined with regular class meetings. This method was shown to give measurable improvements in student achievement.
