Thearticle’s discussion encompasses six faculty concerns of security, interactivity, equity, hands-ondemonstration of concept, team-workability assessment, and ethics, all related to crafting onlineexaminations in engineering and technology. Some of the results presented here are alsoconfirmed intuitively through our informal discussions with the colleagues having similarexperiences. We conclude, from our experiences, that in “open and honest” learningenvironments such as those in most institutions of higher education in the United States, the mostimportant focus should be on the

Of particular concern were the so-called “soft skills,” such as teamwork,communications skills, global perspectives, ethics, life-long learning, and contemporary issues.Assessment of these can be difficult at best, particularly when it comes to triangulating results;i.e., providing more than one method of assessing the outcomes. While some members of thefaculty desired to leave the soft skills to the students’ humanities and social science courses, thatwas not a practical solution for our program because there is a wide variety of

They are Computer Networks, Wireless Communications and Networks, Computersecurity discussion may be involved those courses, and we believe that it will be much better tointroduce the security topics systematically in this course. This will allow students be aware thatsecurity is an integral part of computer and network applications. Besides the technical solutionto secure computer systems, topics related to social engineering such as ethics and laws can bediscussed in-depth as well.As an integral part of computer engineering technology program, the primary goal of this coursewas to

Basic technical skills covered include math,mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering technology. The rationale for this course is toexpose students to these subjects and topics before they enroll in core engineering technologycourses such as applied statics.Assessment of learning:While the author plans to conduct this
