I'll jump in, just since Bob hasn't yet replied.

Our course differs from Workshop Physics in that there ARE some lectures,
but most are fairly short, and are certainly of a highly interactive style.
Workshop Physics is essentially without lectures. 

Also, our course was originally an integrated, now a coordinated,
curriculum that includes chemistry, physics, calculus and engineering. 

You can get a newsletter and a couple of conference papers on the course at 

http://www2.ncsu.edu/ncsu/pams/physics/PCEP/impec/visitors1.html

and the basic home page for the course is
