Thelaboratories are currently implemented in the Engineering Technology Department at the Universityof Houston in an upper division undergraduate course, The experiments have also been used at theUniversity of Colorado at Boulder. Formative assessment provides numerous benefits to measurestudent learning outcome. Other researchers have explored the use of formative assessment toguide online learning. To the best of our knowledge, embedded formative techniques have not beenpreviously used in online laboratories. This paper will present results of embedded assessmenttechniques conducted in this

The Farmingdale State College Materials and Methods of Construction I(CON 161) course is required for freshman in both the Architecture Engineering Technology andConstruction Management Engineering Technology programs. It is a 3 hour, once a weekfoundation lecture course that introduces students to: the construction industry, soils,foundations, heavy timber, light wood framing, masonry, and steel frame construction. The vastmajority of students in this course are male commuter students who also work part-time in jobsthat are in or outside of the construction industry.
