HTML and CGI are both extremely easy, so an engineering student
shouldn't have any trouble figuring it out.
As for a web-server, it's pretty darn simple. I'm running RedHat and
here's all I did:
rpm -i apache-version-info.rpm
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
Then just point a web browser at the server and viola! you have a
webpage (there is a sample already there so you'll know it worked).
If you are looking for help getting networking up and running, I suggest
you read the HOWTO:
http://www.linux-howto.com/LDP/HOWTO/NET-3-HOWTO.html
Also, I see there is an intranet HOWTO:
