In the presentstudy we offered this class a research thesis option instead of a traditional classroom course toexplore the effectiveness of this method in terms of the pedagogical outcomes. If this approachworks then the thesis option can be utilized when enrollments are few and can be a viable optionin summer sessions.At this time, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) does not specifyeducational outcomes for master’s level programs, however it is expected that the students wouldsatisfy the requirements for undergraduate

The degree would be lessexpensive and would enable students to graduate and enter the work force earlier. A possibleside effect of a three-year civil engineering degree is the creation of a “tiered system” within theprofession similar to physician assistants (PA) and physicians in the medical profession. Thecivil engineering profession has historically been challenged with the question of whether toallow engineering technology graduates to take the P.E. exam.

Concerns about the quality of STEM educationhave been fueled by high levels of attrition in STEM majors, particularly among women andstudents from underrepresented minority groups, as well as the need for a more scientificallyliterate citizenry.

Evaluation of a students ‘Process’ is based on a novel method for time-dependent data analysis that will use screen capture technology [6].
