learning system is the concept that it doesn’t matter when a student achieves mastery ofthe material, only that the student eventually does. The concept is akin to the cliché ‘PracticeMakes Perfect’ in that students can keep studying/practicing the material until they master it.The authors of this paper implemented a Mastery learning scheme in their Embedded SystemsCourse – a course offered to Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering junior and senioruniversity students. The concept of mastery learning was well received by both faculty andstudents alike, however, its implementation was not. We found that many students tookadvantage of the system to engineer their educational experience in the class to do as little aspossible. This paper

objectives are repeatedly and redundantly assessed throughout a semester acrossdifferent problem types in each course. The students are tested on at least ten different problemsthroughout the semester with the goal of demonstrating their ability to do each available objective foreach problem. An objective is considered “mastered” when a student has made a correct demonstration ofthat objective enough times, as determined by the mastery threshold of that objective for that course. Theterm “mastery” implies that the student has provided enough evidence to convince the instructor that thestudent is likely to be successful in completing that task on any problem going forward.In an ideal mastery system, the student would have to master every objective

“accelerated” (a.k.a., 5-year masters, 4+1, etc.)masters programs allow seniors to take graduate-level courses that apply toward their Master’sdegree while still classified as undergraduates. Economies of scale provide opportunities forconcurrent offerings of upper division technical elective and graduate courses to fulfill the needsof both groups for students. The needs of the profession demand graduate degrees ofengineering practitioners at some point in their careers and five-year BS/MS programs addressthis need at the entry level.IntroductionEngineering is defined as the profession “that applies knowledge of the mathematical and naturalsciences gained by study, experience, and practice to develop ways to economically utilize thematerials and

Only 5 of the 38 respondentshave reported to have no computational modules in their curriculum. Since this is a small samplesize to obtain meaningful conclusions, we do not attempt to make any comparisons with the othergroups, but we are still reporting their answers separately. We also note that one respondantwithout computational modules had a Ph.D. degree so their answers were grouped under“Masters/Ph.D.” category instead of “No Computational Module” as can be seen in table 1.Table 1: Distribution of the respondents to the survey.

The core courses was common to all master degrees and consisted oforganization theory, management, quantitative decision-making, systems engineering,engineering economics, and more recently, computer applications. The electives varied widelyand were and are designed to meet the needs of specific clients and industries. For example, inaddition to the Navy, we have offered courses to meet specific needs of the Corps of Engineers,NASA, the construction industry, DOT, government support contractors, and most recently thesystems software companies in northern Virginia.

Theresults of that one semester study suggested that this change had a minimal impact on overallperformance. In the continuous effort to determine what will enable students to learn throughsolving homework problems without causing an overly burdensome grading effort to the faculty,the authors turned to Pearson’s Mastering Engineering.

Most programs are “nested” in that a student can begin a GraduateCertificate; convert to a Graduate Diploma with advanced standing and then move on to aMaster’s degree using the credits obtained from the lesser qualifications. Normally, the studentis only awarded one degree which is the highest at which the student qualifies.A Masters degree takes two to four semesters with the majority requiring three full timesemesters.
