. This percentage for engineering courses was mere 0.86%. This is unfortunate since theinfrastructure required for online education has been primary developed by engineers.The perceived obstacles in widespread integration of online courses in engineering curriculumscan be divided into two categories: physical obstacles and cultural obstacles. A major physicalbarrier is how to provide hands-on trainings, which traditionally take place in laboratories andmachine shops, in an online setting. However, this may not be a major problem since, contrary towhat one may expect, the data shows that online education is primary “local”. A little over half ofall students who took at least one online course took some face-to-face courses at the sameinstitution

between the traditionally taught course andthe course taught with the active incorporation of concepts. A laboratory portion of the coursepreviously contributed to the course grade, but a curriculum change moved the laboratorycomponent into a separate course during the year concept maps were incorporated. Differenttypes of assessments were used at the two institutions in this study. No final exam was given inthe course at IUPUC. Instead, a standards-based approach to grading was used, with quizzes overspecific topics. Quizzes were graded “Pass” or “No Pass” based on specifications determined bythe instructor [19]. Students could re-attempt quizzes. The traditional course offering had 15students enrolled in the previous academic year. Both courses

The Dutch BѐtaMentality [8] project discoveredfour profiles related to adolescents and technology: High Techs, Career Techs, SociallyMinded Generalists, and Non Techs. High Techs enjoy both science and technology. Theyare hands-on people who like practical examples and laboratory work. High Techs like tounderstand how things work and often have technology-related hobbies. Slightly less thanforty percent of the boys and a quarter of the girls fall into this category. Career Techs enjoytechnology as long as it works, but are not

Collaborative, community-based projects to improve thebuilt environment can serve as a laboratory for student engagement, providing valuableexperience in a practical, real-world setting. The UAB Civil Engineering department has made aparticular effort to involve undergraduate and graduate engineering students in community-basedinitiatives with the goal of enhancing engineering education while improving the communitiessurrounding the university.Such efforts need not be ad hoc. Because of the successful involvement of engineering studentsin community-based initiatives, the UAB Civil Engineering department has developed a 3-credithour elective course where students can be part of this

university usually did not follow theseguidelines although they believed writing to be an important tool for student to learn andunderstand.Universities and colleges have implemented various forms of writing for engineers over theyears; however, the implementations have mainly been at the course level and not an overallcurriculum change [4]. The need to assess the ABET outcome communicating with a broadaudience is usually the main driver of these changes with programs assessing how well thestudents communicate within the criteria set for the respective assignments. This means that thewriting is usually limited to laboratory write-ups, small class project reports, and a capstonepaper (usually written as a team). In addition, most programs offer no

several course-related, co-op, and extracurricular projects withundergraduates, including security [2, 3] and digital/computer hardware projects. In each project,the pedagogical outcomes are similar: 1. The student should learn a new technical concept or skill outside of their typical courses. 2. The student should practice independent research techniques, including task management, reading/writing academic papers, and self-guiding exploratory tasks. 3. The student should gain insight into graduate-level research and/or industry laboratories. 4. The student should advance their own (self-defined) career and educational goals.The past experiences of undergraduate research gave the faculty member a default structure toguide the student
