Training System Design CourseCourse Description and DesignThis course was initially designed to prepare engineering students to make effective training anddevelopment decisions within their organizations. Specifically, the course emphasizedconducting training-needs analysis, training design and development, training technology, andprocedures to evaluate training effectiveness. The course customarily began with an introductionof some fundamental principles of performance to help analyze the causes of performanceproblems. It then addressed topics of adult learning and training principles, and how to applythese topics to individuals, teams, and organizations.During the first classroom session of the revamped role-play designed course, the usual

This process becomes rather intensive for professional degree programsbecause of the specific discipline requirements combined with institutional approaches andindustry expectations. Accreditation agencies, at national, regional, and discipline levels, defineoutcomes assessment as an important component in their evaluations.The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) 1 for engineering andtechnology programs, and the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) 2 forconstruction programs place a large emphasis on the outcomes assessment and define a versionin their respective accreditation requirements.

The development and support of the XOcomputer involve many professional skills and fields; including engineering and education.Currently 1.2 million XOs have been deployed globally, including approximately 15,000 in USschools. The completion of this mission is often difficult both in securing funding and attainingaccess to skilled professionals, because the vast majority of the XO deployments are located indeveloping countries with few resources. Another aspect of technology deployments indeveloping countries rarely discussed is that many of the financial donors, both government andforeign, are more willing to

Ethical and Honesty Issues of Web-Based On-Line Courses Compared with Traditional Classroom Courses Harry C. PetersenA number of Manufacturing Engineering Technology classes have been offered both on-line and,in other different years, as traditional face-to-face classroom presentations. Thus we had theopportunity to compare on-line and web-based courses. This paper discusses how issues ofstudent honesty and copyright laws proved to be more problematic for web-enhanced and on-lineclasses. We found that material placed on-line requires significantly more time to apply and re-apply to receive copyright permission, while most printed materials, DVD’s, and samples can beeasily
