Internet-Based Distributed Collaborative Environment for Engineering Education and Design
Overview This paper proposes a Virtual City framework to investigate Internet-based distributed collaborative environment for engineering education and design. This framework includes a 3D virtual world, an online database, multiple multimedia modules, and a distributed collaborative geometric modeling module. An important part of this 3D virtual world is that all structures are viewable over the Internet. These structures are created and deposited into the virtual world using Internet-based multimedia modules. The multimedia modules are tied together through the 3D virtual world since each multimedia module covers one specific engineering topic in the world, such as traffic engineering, steel structure, surveying, soil, consolidation, and structural analysis.
