same rate and with the same efficiency as the normal, face-to-face course.Students seem to be as engaged, if not more engaged, which could be due to the extremely smallclass size. We expect that course achievement will be similar to normal sections by the end of thesemester, based on assessments so far in the course.References:[1] Ohland, M. W., S. D. Sheppard, G.

,instructional videos, and mentorship are critical to the success of open-ended projects.The next major focus of the first-year engineering program is develop a mentorship program tosupport course projects. When students propose their own ideas, it helps to have a mechanismthat finds experts to support their project. Teaching assistants with experience in the proposedareas are a valuable resource to guide students from their conceptual design to productdevelopment. Further research is needed to understand and improve the role of the mentors foreach RAD project.References [1] Walsh, D., (2004) A Freshman Design Experience Using Rapid Prototyping.

question of commodities, an S-curve ofdevelopment with creative destruction, and the Ehrlich-Simon bet. The conclusion of themodule requires students to write a reflective essay where they analyze the presentations moreformally for the intended audience, author biases, and methodologies. The students are asked tofind one thing they agree with and disagree with on both sides of the debate. Current students(2017) seem to readily accept ecological concerns about consumerism and show a desire forfairness and equity. This author believes those attitudes are well established in current K-12education. This provides a nice frame, as time allows, to introduce principles from sustainabilityengineering and design, which are intended to analyze rigorously the

Also known as, the Critical Path Method (CPM), meticulous application of PERT will impart full control of a project and help complete a project in a timely manner.
