Copyright © 2009 American Society for Engineering Education Figure 3 Blogs are useful sources of informationWhen class ended, fewer students had created podcasts than initially expected. When asked onthe post-survey if they had made a podcast, only 24% had done so. Half of the class had optedout, but 21% had initially planned to do so and had changed their minds. Another 5% wishedthey had created a podcast. Their perceptions of whether or not a podcast is a good medium tolearn technical content did not vary substantially between the beginning and end of the semester.They did indicate, however, that they invested more time creating a podcast (average of 39hours) over writing a paper (31 hours).

Only the student can make this determination.With this in mind, a research project was initiated to determine the actual effects of classattendance on student success. While similar studies conducted in the past concentrated on non-engineering courses1,3,9,10,12,13, this project focuses entirely on courses taken by engineeringtechnology students. The objective is to determine if class attendance really leads to bettergrades. This study will determine if a correlation exists between class attendance and studentsuccess, and if so, to what extent.Project DesignThe project involves several classes at various student ranks all the way from freshman to juniorlevel.

The asynchronous andeconomical advantages of distance education and learning that make offering and taking themvery popular force the profession to re-examine, re-organize, and re-engineer some of the exam-related issues that otherwise don’t exist.The use of online-based, “honest, open book, open mind” approach is being recognized in theliterature as a potential method of examination for distance courses in the faculties ofengineering, science, and technology1,3.

Two EFA plans aredesigned for students who want a broad exposure to civil and environmental engineeringpractice. They are called “Civil Engineering Practice” and “Environmental Remediationand Control.” Eight additional EFA plans are described.

Documenting and analyzing its internal workings during design may seem to be animpossible task. However, researchers have found that sketches and design journals can providemuch insight into the student’s cognitive processes during design.
