The UK is to introduce a compulsory national identity card scheme to help tackleorganized crimes, prevent terrorist attacks, and protect the identities of their citizens. Usingcutting-edge technology, the cards will link individuals' unique biometric data, to a securenational database. This is an ambitious, controversial, and long-term project.

Thismethod of learning is beneficial in face-to-face situations where students may engage in groupactivities. But it becomes more challenging to replicate in online courses. There is evidence thatthe CIQ is widely used in various levels of education [5, p. 177], but there is only limitedevidence of how the CIQ is used in engineering online teaching environments. Keefer describesthe pedagogical value of this type of research: “We want to better understand the experiences and perceptions of the student learners, for the more we can understand them, the more we can teach in ways that may meet their needs” [5

In their senior year, they oftenhave a senior project which entails designing and building a unique prototype. The studentsare required to submit a proposal documenting the requirements, the proposed design, thematerials, the schedule, and the test plan. After review by the professor, the proposal mayrequire changes. Further modifications may be required at any point as unforeseen eventsoccur. In the end the prototype is expected to pass all tests and demonstrate on delivery thatit meets the original requirements. Many of these same steps occur on the job whengraduate engineers pursue engineering projects, so the project course is

For example, teaching preparation can consume a largeproportion of a new faculty member’s time; however, one’s research and writing cannot beneglected. New faculty in particular may be faced with teaching, research, and service activitiesall requiring their time and attention at an intensity level that they might not have encounteredbefore. This can lead to a faculty member feeling overwhelmed and trigger self-doubt.This paper presents a research-based, holistic framework and strategies for time management,with an emphasis on taking an intentional approach to allocating time

It engaged students in the online class discussion by interjecting frequentquestions from the covered contents and providing audio/video repository of answered questions.Online students appear to be successful when provided ample opportunities to interact with theinstructor, other students, and the course content.

traditional, summative score-based grade book.    Standards-based grading (SBG) is an alternative grading system that has shown potential toprovide a more sound assessment of student learning. Instead of grading student assignments,students are graded throughout the term directly on their demonstrated proficiency in regards tothe course objectives. In the SBG system, student progress toward the course learning objectivesis directly and explicitly assessed using student work, which is monitored throughout theduration of the term. An example SBG gradebook for one project within a larger course is shownin Table 2.

, faculty get more teaching credit for teaching larger classes. For example,the author’s department used to have a rule that a class of more than 100 students counted as 1.5classes. This allows the instructor to focus on fewer classes and do a better job on those, whilehaving more time for research.Large classes are a boon to recruitment. An instructor of a large class becomes known to a lotmore students, and these students are more likely to consider working with them later on. Youmay become their graduate advisor, or advisor for an undergraduate research project. A largeclass is also a great place to recruit for independent-study students who may assist one of yourresearch projects or generate resources for later offerings of the same course. The

This syndromealso leads to long lines outside of the office door on the day or two before an assignment is due,as the students are frantically trying to complete an assignment and have questions that theycannot answer.
