Students had weekly homeworkassignments, including both online and scanned handwritten problems, and a few exams (in ahybrid online and written format) which provided the basis for much of their grade in the coursein a manner nearly identical to how the same course is typically taught in a traditional classroom.This course sought to address some of the challenges facing online engineering courses by:  controlling course quality with clearly defined outcomes,  using current technology practices to present lectures and example problems effectively,  promoting opportunities for student collaboration,  creating an experiential
