In addition to these functional definitions of engagement, an assessment instrument hasalso been developed in order to standardize definitions and measurement of engagement in highereducation. The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) was developed in 2000 to assessundergraduate student engagement [21]. It consists of four themes with indicators that defineengagement: (1) academic challenge, with the indicators of higher-order learning, reflective &integrative learning, learning strategies, and quantitative reasoning; (2) learning with peers, withthe

merits of the Doctor of Engineering in Engineering degree,and its purpose in training engineers to become professional managers in a technical field.Program HistoryThe Doctor of Engineering degree program was created in the mid-1980’s as the college’s firstprofessional doctoral degree. It went through administrative revisions in the late 1980’s to becomethe program it is today. There were very few professional doctoral programs in the country at thattime. Most of the interest in professional degrees was at the master’s level. It is important to note,as well, that the title of the degree does not have the same meaning at all institutions and in allcountries. Some use the Doctor of Engineering title for a research-based engineering

We were particularly interested inPh.D. level courses that require reading, analysis, discussion, and writing with feedback.We hoped to answer three questions ourselves: (1) Given the Ph.D.’s students’ high levels ofmotivation, what kind of environment would foster their engagement in online courses? (2)How can an institution best support faculty members for designing, developing, and deliveringthis kind of course? (3) What are the students’ experiences in these courses?Developing Online Courses for the Graduate
