Engineers are inventors and designers; they apply science and mathematics; anduse their imagination and creativity to make ideas a reality. They create technical solutions tomeet societal needs. This forms the core of engineering activities.2 Yet, there is a decline in highschool students’ interest in careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematicsresulting in a decline in engineering enrollment, both undergraduate and graduate.

The strong emphasis on laboratoryexperiences in Engineering Technology curricula supports active learning styles. Contrary topopular anecdote, these results indicate that students do not exhibit a strong preference for activelearning over reflective learning at the early stages of their undergraduate academic career. Thissuggests that active learning experiences including laboratory exercises and interactive problemsessions may provide a slight learning advantage over reflective activities (homework, reports)for students at this stage.

There is also a strong demand among engineering graduates whoare working full time in engineering careers. These students have difficultly taking classes intraditional Master’s and PhD programs and are attracted to online programs due to theirflexibility. The demand of engineers looking for graduate education online has been met byuniversities eager to find more income streams. This demand, and the profit from it, is likely amajor cause in the emergence of the online Master’s degree.In searching for information about online Master’s and PhD programs in engineering, we foundlittle except for the individual universities that offer these programs.

These skills have been explained quite succinctly by ABET and do not need to be repeated. The student enters this capstone course knowing that the assignment given and the task undertaken is like nothing that they have encountered before. No longer are they talking to a faculty member, usually repeating information in order to obtain a grade.
