World-wide-web in the electrical engineering curriculum at the University of Illinois

This work describes activities in the area of curriculum development of computational science and engineering, focusing in the incorporation of distributed computational modules in the World-Wide-Web (WWW). We are developing interactive environments in which users can learn new computational concepts, experiment with related algorithms, and visualize complex data sets. Such modules facilitate the introduction of computational research results in graduate and undergraduate educational programs. In this paper, we focus on a specific example of incorporating the research results related to the semiconductor band structure of silicon in the WWW.
