Dear Alfred, I have developed a course based on MITs Road Maps. I have taught the course a number of times on the condition that I do not make money on the material. If you wish I could send you a CD which contains all of the course material. Send me a return e-mail with your mailing address if you would like to review it. Sincerely, Ivan From: Cncsdg@aol.com

One of my students helped develop and teach a course for high school Juniors and seniors at the Mass Academy. A report of his project including all the teaching materials and a journal reporting day by day experience will soon be available from WPI libraries. The course was taught in English.
