This paper describes the use of an Intranet Tool (First ClassTM) to carry out a Projects Proposal course. Although the experiences described here are specifically from a course in Electrical Engineering Technology, the author believes that the approach to the course, the use of the tools and the conclusions that we reach can be easily transportable to other design and project courses. First ClassTM is an Intranet tool that allows users to post messages in "conferences" as well as real-time chat. All students enrolled in EET 419 (Project Proposal preparation) at the WilkesBarre campus of Penn State University receive a First ClassTM account as well as training on how to use the system, carried out by the Instructional Design Specialist. The goal of the course EET 419 is for the students to develop a formal proposal for a project that will be built in their next semester. This course has been divided into a series of ten different outcomes or milestones, each one being a complete subtask that will be built into the final proposal.
