The college has departmentallaboratories that are renovated and furnished with state of the art equipment. The college isaccredited by the university through 2018-19 and offers a three-year diploma program, whichadmits 90 students after graduating from high schools. The admissions are based on students’performances in the high school graduation examination, which is a government managed state-wide examination. The main objectives of the diploma program are, 1) to develop competence amongst itsstudents for solving problems related to

semester.Like many programs across the country, our engineering degree program enrollments havegrown steadily (in our case, at nearly 5.4% annually since 2006, meaning core courses arevirtually double in throughput). Motivated by growing student numbers we embarked on aneffort to use video lecture delivery in two key courses taken by all engineering students in ourdepartment. We did so nearly five years prior to the writing of this work-in-progress, and herewe report on the development of the materials, our experiences using the video lectures in class,student responses to the video lectures, and experiences with sharing the video lectures with newinstructors.This project began in the 2013/2014 academic year, when were assigned to co-teach both theyear

Nick also serves as the Undergraduate ProgramCoordinator and the Advisor of the Biological Engineering Student Organization.Marybeth Lima has served on the faculty of the Biological & Agricultural EngineeringDepartment at LSU since 1996. Her research interests include community-based engineeringdesign. Marybeth directs the LSU Community Playground Project, in which college andelementary school students work together to design playgrounds at local schools. Lima wasselected as an ASEE Fellow in 2012.

and their associatedLOs, we were able to identify which KAs are most often used in the disciplines core curricula.Results & DiscussionThe investigative questions that were used to guide this research project were designed to allowus to identify key knowledge, skills and abilities graduates of a Bio-based engineering programpossess. This was done with the understanding that graduates from the program have a commontraining through their core courses, before venturing into a concentration which further shapesthe abilities of that student. Table 2 shows the LOs grouped to the four different concentrationsand core processes in the BAE program at this University. The core processes are LOs whichcross multiple concentrations and are integrated
