pursue higher education in fully online programs has remainedremarkably consistent since the early years of online education through today - necessity andconvenience.10, 15-18 Learner preference among those who have previously had success withonline learning can also be seen as another reason, but to a much lesser extent.19 The literatureregarding online learning choice is not discipline specific, but applies to the needs of workingparents, no matter their careers. However, it is reasonable to assume that engineers (who alsohave careers and families) pursue online learning for the same reasons as everyone else. Onlinelearning continues to be primarily a vehicle for working adults to further their education whilestaying employed and/or

while the world has experienced a growth in the number of institutions andprograms teaching engineering, graduate numbers are not increasing accordingly because of alack of qualified faculty, necessitating an emphasis on faculty development, especially at the entrylevel [2]. Reviewing the literature shows the prevailing philosophy regarding facultydevelopment is rather obvious. Faculty development is an ongoing process that should not stop atany level of an academic career, from new hire to a seasoned professor. Khedkar attempts todefine faculty development in the university as: “the process which is undertaken to bring about qualitative changes in the competence of individual faculty members in fulfilling their obligations to
encountered in this training getreplaced with newer innovations throughout the engineer’s career. Therefore, proper training ofengineering students for their future careers must include experience in considering the impact ofnew technology on society. Educators must allow their students to practice this by allowingstudents to consider, evaluate and employ new technologies based on their societal impact.Solving tomorrow’s problems, engineers will employ new technologies. Engineering studentsmust learn to evaluate new technologies’ impacts as they employ them to solve tomorrow’sproblems. As engineers solve problems, they need to collaborate with people from other fields andnot work exclusively within their own field of expertise. The opportunity

Student teams were allowed tooptionally self-select a member to assume the role of PM or to manage themselves within theirown methodology. During the past two years, the industry model of project management wasmore heavily emphasized and student design teams were required to self-select a member toassume the role of project manager.

While the results are not earth shattering,they begin to show how teams of two interact, the interaction of the students, as well as theirthoughts about a capstone related to their career path. While this is a contrast in how the capstoneis formed and students interact with larger capstone groups such as at Purdue University, thestudent experience at WCU and other institutions will provide a rich understanding of teambuilding and interaction throughout their solo and pair capstone experience.

students’ college experience and potentially their future careers. To introduce students to some campus activities available to them, instructors presented slides prepared by student organizations. The students were then assigned to choose two campus activities to attend before the second midterm and complete four reflection questions. The presentations only highlighted engineering related student groups, but students were allowed to go to any campus activity for the assignment.The initial data sets collected for the pilot study included tutoring attendance from theengineering tutoring room, grade distributions on the first midterm, student enrollment lists fromENGR 101 (fall semester only) and ENGR 102 (spring semester only), and
plan in advance of meeting their advisor, andalso to reflect introspectively on their own personal and academic development. The “goal is todiminish the need of the advisor to use the advising session as a means of primarily presentinginformation to students. Instead, the focus of the session shifts to helping students make meaningof their academic and career planning” (Steele, 2016).Initially, we decided not to use our university’s LMS and opted for Microsoft SharePoint to hostflipped advising assignments. Students were not familiar with SharePoint and there was confusionon how to access and upload documents to our site. We then switched over to Canvas, ourinstitutional LMS, in the fall 2016 semester with much better results. Students
