. instructors need tocommunicate their expectations clearly. LaPraire and Hinson[5] present a set of guidelines forestablishing the infrastructure needed to develop online learning communities and the types oftraining and support needed to sustain them.As the literature review shows above, online learning can be an effective learning approach butneeds to be carefully planned and adopted to ensure success. It also requires different strategies,preparations and techniques from traditional classrooms. The study presented here complimentsthe previous studies as it answers additional related questions about online learning related to theperception of engineering and engineering management students towards online coursescompared to the traditional on-campus

While numerous studies have identified contributors to the outcomesof virtual teams in general, the impact of the degree of virtuality specifically remains an openarea with little previous research which is what the authors are going to focus on building aframework to address.Research ObjectivesThe primary goal of this research study is to form a framework which will enable theincorporation of experiencing working on virtual teams in engineering. In order to do this theauthors have to understand the impact of changes in degree of virtuality on student engineeringteam learning outcomes. For this purpose, there will be five basic hypotheses to be tested as partof the research plan. In Hypothesis 1, the

For larger classsize, we will revisit the current architecture (of project topics and teams) to ensure it is viable andsustainable. In the pre-pilot version, the small class size was easily served by different projects,supervised by different staff and graduate students. For larger class size (and varying level ofstaff resources available to the class), we will evaluate the best options for future project setups.“Introduction to Engineering Systems” is part of a broader plan to develop over time, a largersuite of undergraduate Engineering Systems courses offered by ESD.

higher quality education where failure of any student may be consideredas a defect in the process. Due to variability in the process such as different type of instructionby different professors, a variation of quality exists. Variations of quality may be due to lack ofunderstanding of how students learn and adapting to different learning styles of students. Afteridentification of the issues and defining the problems, a solution can be developed using sixsigma approaches and models presented in this paper. A control chart can be used with UCL andLCL along with a continuous improvement plan to improve the higher education process. Thiswill result in higher quality and sustainable process in the institution with higher levels of studentsatisfaction

critical paths “slipped” their schedules, it had a cascading effect, leading to disruptions in the overall schedule for the development of the system and an extensive re-planning effort. Another related issue was the sheer number of inquiries from remote team members to the central team, overloading them with questions of clarification. The central team became a bottleneck, affecting productivity and, in turn, delaying the schedule. The remote teams sought clarification even when work packages delivered to them by the central team consisted of well-written specifications. The purpose of many inquiries turned out not to be an issue of clarification, but rather, an attempt by the remote team members to
