those who are simply prohibited from the use ofcomputers in the classroom.IntroductionInternet usage in the educational arena has grown enormously over the past three decades.Back in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, burgeoning Intranets were popping up oncollege campuses. Internet accessibility outside of the classroom and in dormitories, etc.soon followed. Today, access to WiFi is something college campuses must have as theyare “graded on” it in many cases: the more Internet availability and better student access,the better the grades.2,3 Given the expansion of Internet accessibility and usage ofelectronic wireless devices, the natural progression is the use of such technology in theenhancement of education over those same decades.In the

economic analysis after it has been implemented. As many of ourpartners implement and utilize the capstone projects, it is important for our students tounderstand how the projects are evaluated so that they can conduct a better analysis of theprojects in the beginning. As we continue to look at our courses and implement projects, we willcontinue to bring more examples into the course.References1. Anwar, S., & Ford, P. (2001).

The quizzes are administeredonline using a learning management system – Canvas in this case. The students are given a 48-hour window to take each quiz but once the student starts the quiz, s/he will have a limited timeto finish it (between 1 and 1.5hours). The quizzes are not administered in a classroom and theycan be taken anywhere, anytime within the 48-hour

Identifying Outreach DetailsBefore jumping into activity development, it is important to understand the details of the event.The desired objective(s), location, time frame, budget, number of participants, and participants’age range are all important pieces of information required to shape an effective and appropriateactivity.[13] Misunderstanding or misinterpreting any of these details could produce anineffective activity that squanders resources and provide an inadequate experience forparticipants. For example, 5th and 6th graders would need more explanation and completion timeto successfully complete a project that was designed for 7th and 8th grade

Moreover, several students in the Product Design and Workdesign classes had previous internship experiences. The knowledge and experiences of thestudents brought in different ways of thinking and

Also, a correlation between some of the student’s communication, attendance, andlearning management system usage versus their course grades could be completed. Further, anANOVA could be completed if demographic, ANGEL usage, email usage, and coursesatisfaction were known for each individual student (currently these are known only at theaggregate level).Bibliography 1.

paper is on engineering economy courses rather than the smallernumber of current texts, we have chosen not to develop a table with details of today’s texts. Wewill note however that White, Case, and Pratt (2012)’s third chapter is on borrowing, lending,and investing. The personal finance material in the 12th edition of Newnan’s text is similar to the1st edition. The only significant content additions were brief sections on student loans andretirement accounts. However, the 13th edition by Newnan, Eschenbach, Lavelle, and Lewis(2017) has been heavily influenced by our work on this topic. Other current texts are similar tomost texts in Table 1—personal finance focuses on the time value of money for saving, loanpayments, and retirement

operational definitions, sampling, andreproducibility of measurement between two or more assessors [12]. Good operationaldefinitions are needed to ensure consistent measurement and evaluation over time. Whileincluded in the Engineering Student Outcomes, ABET does not define multidisciplinary teams(d), contemporary issues (h), life-long learning (i), or modern engineering tools (k). Since ABETdoes not define these terms, it is up to the program to define them in the context of their uniquePEOs and identify indicator(s) appropriately for consistent decision-making (otherwise risk TypeI or Type II errors). Care should also be taken not to combine assessment data from differentlevels of maturation of student knowledge, skills and abilities. “Scores” for
