Page 14.260.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009ASSESSMENT OF THE AMOUNT OF TIME STUDENTS SPEND STUDYINGAbstractTo meet the objectives of accreditation students must learn the material. Each professorteaches a lesson and then assigns homework. When students do their homework there usuallyis no quantitative way of measuring the amount of time spent on their assignment. Recently, wehave used a quantitative method to assess the amount of time a student studies materialassigned on the web as homework. The technology now enables us to measure the time spenton

easilyreviewed by the advisor and student during a meeting or via email in order to develop a transferplan that is visible and tangible to the student.In addition to advisor interaction, the students were provided guest speakers during the springand fall 2008 semesters of the EGR 100 course. The speakers were diverse, and included ISUCollege of Engineering faculty members, advisors, and staff members from career services, aswell as, industry professionals. Based student evaluations for the fall 2008 semester, the guestpresentations were the highest rated portion of the course. Based on student comments, the guestspeakers provided real-life information that the students perceived as very valuable in theirunderstanding of engineering, how to successfully

career must acknowledge that two-year institutions or community colleges representthe fastest growing segment of higher education [4]. Recent data shows that 40% of individualsearning bachelor or master’s engineering degrees started higher education in a communitycollege. The trend is higher in some states such as California for which more than 48% ofgraduates with science or engineering degrees started at a community college [5].Despite this contribution to the nation’s engineering workforce, engineering education in a Page 14.746.2community college environment presents formidable challenges for both students andinstructors.
