the course designer is to identify the goal(s) of the analysis; is there alreadya clear curricular problem that needs addressing? Is the goal to evaluate the course as part of acontinuous improvement process? The desired outcome for the analysis determines the type ofdata which is to be captured, a process known as coding. When coding, researchers carefullyread the artifacts and search for the presence of specific words, themes, pictures or othercontents. The coding scheme determines what the reader is seeking and how they will capture itspresence (or lack thereof). When entering into the artifact review with a predefined problem inmind, the coding scheme will likely be a priori, a predefined series of data attributes the coursedesigner is

The least frequently listed topics (though stillpresent) included stress management, academic integrity, interviewing, poster communication,brainstorming (design fundamental), social entrepreneurship, empirical math functions, clientinteractions, and qualitative research skills. These skills were only included in one or two courseseach2. The range in both number and categories of course content reflects the variability in firstyear course experiences for engineering students.A call was put forth several decades ago (i.e., the mid-1980’s) to postsecondary education tofocus on the first-year

Development Program) in the early 1980's, the RESP curriculum aims for the mostdifficult parts of first-year calculus, chemistry, and physics. In other words, RESP is notremedial.Put another way, RESP’s guiding philosophy is to give students the chance to have a badsemester, if one is coming, without impacting their academic record and with ample support todevelop new skills for student’s new collegiate setting. Students do not receive course credit, toremove the threat of permanently codifying poor performance on a student’s transcript. Thisdiffers from models that offer course credit, which carries the risk of permanent academicconsequences. During the summer, students build resilience as well as technical skills and entertheir fall semester aware

As far asonline education in engineering is concerned, a balance needs to be found between ensuringproper training and assessment of trainee engineers and the very worthwhile goal of providingengineering education “anywhere, anytime”.42AcknowledgementsThe authors express their sincere thanks to K.L.

Students who did not persist in engineering eitherchanged their major or dropped out of SIUE entirely. Each cohort then has an array of 1’s and 0’srepresenting student persistence in engineering, which forms a Bernoulli distribution.

In addition, during the decision making stage, analysis and modelling should be includedin the grading rubric as the engineering approach to designing is different from a hobbyistapproach which focuses on ‘trial and error’.References[1] S.
