With today’sinternet technology and social networking capabilities, it seems feasible to provide superior edu-cational opportunities for a much larger and more diverse population of people. The online me-dium is not only a venue for educational innovation through experimental teaching methods, butalso a source of new information (e.g., through online surveys and tracking of student progress).Online experiences should lead to further improvements in modern educational techniques andmethods. This and subsequent papers will explore the viability of these notions while concentrat-ing on several online education scenarios through: 1) further elaboration (particularly, within

experiential learning methodologies, and following a review of relevant literature,recent results of our applied research have identified a gap that can be closed. This gap isparticularly acute at the graduate level where experiential learning is often critical indemonstrating mastery of the subject matter. Further research is necessary to refine the needs inengineering at the undergraduate level. However, it is anticipated that mutually beneficialstrategic alliances will contribute to improved learning outcomes for undergraduate engineeringstudents as well.IntroductionThe purpose of this applied research is to: 1) Explore the use of technology to increase theoperational efficiency and strategic effectiveness of engineering education; 2) Suggest

engineeringeducation is strong on imparting some kinds of knowledge, it is not very effective in preparingstudents to integrate their knowledge, skills, and identity as developing professions … In theengineering science and technology courses, the tradition of putting theory before practice andthe effort to cover technical knowledge comprehensively allow little opportunity for students tohave the kind of deep learning experiences that mirror professional practice and problemsolving.”Development of Systems Thinking SkillsSince “systems thinking” skills are an integral part of Systems Engineering attributes, Davidzand Nightingale [21] provide research data concerning the levels of significance of experientiallearning.Integration of Systems Engineering Courses

Educators employing collaborativeor cooperative learning methods reported greater student satisfaction with the learningexperience [4], [5], reduction of anxiety [7], and concluding that student performance wasgreater than individual students could have achieved working independently [2], [6].In a comprehensive metaanalysis of 225 studies comparing student performance inundergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses when usingtraditional (lecturing) methods vs. active learning, the results were overwhelmingly in favor ofactive learning [8]. For example, the results of this

Additionally, differences in the achieved learning outcomes forthe effective communication among these student groups were explored and compared, usingquantitative and qualitative research methods.Quantitative Analyses Survey data was used to conduct quantitative analyses. Overall response rate in the firstwave of the survey was 100% in the Supply Management Class and 68% in the Principles ofMarketing class. In the second wave of the survey, the response rate in the Supply Managementclass was 85% and in the Principles of Marketing class 72%. The observed response rates werereasonably high for

Social science research has revealed that people build socialrelationships with each other, and these relationships may help them locate either information orservices more effectively. Wan et al. (26) found that a collaborative group-learning environmentin which students could express their thoughts, voice their opinions, and share their experienceshad a positive outcome.Thus, incorporating teamwork and communication skills into the core curriculum of allengineering and technology programs is essential for success.

instrument to help studentsto learn how to work collaboratively. ABET Criterion 3Ad or 3Be intends for students toexperience the nature of a future work environment. It enables the faculty member to assume therole of “coordinator,” who schedules meetings and insures that all team members know whatthey are supposed to do and the allowable time limitations.This outcome has not always been the case in our experience. Team members would oftencomplain about the assigned tasks of other members, incomplete material received, andineffective communication among team members. For this reason, we felt the need for increasedemphasis on teamwork and to assess team interactions so as to insure quality of the final productor report.Another concern was to establish

regarding the need to modify the engineering curriculum in order to betterprepare engineering graduates to face the new challenges that the current engineeringenvironment presented. In 1994, “industry and academe realized that their concerns were thesame, [therefore] they began to mobilize through ABET, the organization responsible for settingthe standards of engineering education” (ABET, 2004, p. 1). As a result, the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology (ABET) acknowledged this call from industry andeducational leaders, and started working towards changing the standards of engineeringeducation in order to guarantee that engineering students not only have an education in thetechnical disciplines of engineering but also in human
