Their general purpose is to make the educational process —teaching and learning sound much more scientific and modern. As the Internet, email and multimedia have already become parts of most college students' lives and studies nowadays; applying these new information technologies to engineering and science instruction is a great challenge for teachers and researchers. Although the effectiveness and impact of new information technologies on education are not yet well comprehended and documented, the promises and visions they hold for improving education are exciting. For example, computer mediated networks provide distance education with a new medium for bringing teachers, students and learning materials in different locations together. By the networks, teaching and learning are no longer confined to the classrooms.
