After the guest speaker(s) becamepart of the class, student motivation increased and the number of complaints about the amount ofcourse work required decreased. Another motivational tool is the exam fee reimbursementprogram. If a student takes and passes the FE exam, the registration fee (currently $155) is Page 13.634.6reimbursed by UDM’s college of Engineering and Science. Getting the students to complete the assigned online homework was a challenge. Wesuccessfully dealt with this by making the homework worth 20% of the course grade and basedthe respective

Efforts were made to create long-term (2 to 3 year)schedules which provided the DL student with information about course future offerings.Furthermore, as DL programs became more popular at the university, access to a limited numberof DL classrooms (university controlled) became competitive. The department, and oureducational partners developed asynchronous classes which alleviated the time requirement, andallowed students who were on extended deployments to remain in the program. Furthermore, weused well-qualified adjunct faculty to teach courses pertinent to the degree. Many of thesefaculty were Ph.D.’s or MD’s employed by our partner, which allowed some of the courses

Thestudents offered a number of reasons for their decision of Engineering. • My parent(s) are making me study engineering • They are studying Engineering because of the chance of making a lot of money • They enjoy the subjects science and mathematics • Engineering offers a host of well paid careers • Engineering allows you to put your creativity to the test every day • Because engineering is an international activity, professional engineers often have the opportunity to
