designed for non-traditional students who work18. The goal was to offer people employed in electrical engineeringor technology positions the opportunity to receive a Bachelor’s degree while still maintainingtheir jobs; therefore, the ability to complete online self-study was critical.Literature Review: Detailed Learning ObjectivesThe preparation of detailed learning objectives for students, as was done in the fall 2015semester, has been advocated by leading engineering educators19. Instructional objectives shouldideally be explicit statements of tasks that students are expected to perform. For example,instructional objectives should contain action verbs such as explain, estimate, describe, model, orcritique that may span Bloom’s taxonomy20, 21
