Abstract :
The authors are members of the Iowa State University Engineering College´s Courseware Development Studio and have been producing engineering courseware as part of the NSF Synthesis Coalition since 1990. The courseware has evolved from sequential and subject specific presentations to highly interactive tutorials with multidisciplinary content. The different types of courseware are discussed and illustrated with the help of a curricular unit on manual wheelchairs
