The performances of the students inthese core courses based on the evaluations through tests, projects, etc., using the data collectedfor the past 3 years are correlated to their background and analyzed.

The program supports integrated master's and doctoral students’education with quality assurance measures and also provides students a stipend. AlthoughACEEES is an excellent program and has received JSPS highest program evaluation during amid-term review, it is a very expensive educational program to operate and does not issue masterdegrees.

As a result, resources allocated to their projects were wasted, andsome funded projects were put at risk. The graduate program was restructured by the newdepartment head to offer a non-thesis option Master of Engineeering (MEng) program for themajority of students in a dual-degree BS/MEng program (and MEng format for those whoalready were BS graduates), and a thesis option for a minority of students in a research-basedBS/MS program (and MS form for those who already were BS graduates).

Nearly 50 students havingearned their master’s of science degrees via the online program. This growth is in part due toexplicit theory-driven attention to pedagogy, recruitment, mentoring, and facilitated guidance.Similar to our resident students, our online students have faculty research advisors and conductmasters-level research projects.

Thisincludes capacity for knowledge translation of research outcomes to a non-expert audience,curriculum development, and effective project management [2]. Consequently, in preparingfuture faculty to assume academic roles and responsibilities successfully, post-secondaryinstitutions have shifted greater focus to providing teaching development programs for traineeprofessional development [3].
