. Six semester hours, representing the sciencecourse and the humanities/social science elective course, may be taken at the cooperatingtechnical and community colleges, for a total of 70 semester hours of such transfer credit (forstudents in this distance learning program only). Even though the program is spaced out over a period of four or more years, it is arelatively intensive commitment for the working adults, many with families, which it serves. Itrequires taking two courses per semester, involving two evenings per week plus study andresearch time. And it is relentless, maintaining this pace for four years. Furthermore, sincethere are no other cohorts planned at this time, any failure or withdrawal from a required courseis

An exploded view and subtract-and-operate procedure are required to make the studentsconsider assemblability issues and to truly understand how their product fits together. Actualproduct function is documented and compared to the prediction. A morphological matrix isconstructed using the parts and their corresponding functions, and function sharing throughoutthe device is investigated. Once the students fully understand the physical nature of their productand its functionality, they are asked to develop complete QFD matrices for the product

This could be done through a combination of courses, projects, and industrial contacts.This is better than making the direct equivalency of courses the first priority. The objective should beto transcend the similarities and to learn what is different and distinctive.

By having the students participate in the self-assessment processand reflect on their experiences, each student is able to identify outcomes which have not beenachieved and develop a plan to achieve all ABET outcomes prior to graduation. This proactiveself-assessment prompts students to identify weak points in their education and has the potentialto shape better student outcomes, filling all the ABET student outcomes and preparing studentsto be well-rounded engineers.[12].

Network Analysis (ENA)One possible strategy for analyzing the connections between these frame elements is ENA, amethod that uses coded data to find temporal connections between ideas within an individual orcommunity. Each of these codes are represented as a node in the network, and edges betweennodes represent the strength of an individual or community’s connection between those twocodes. For example, epistemic network analysis has been used to investigate how engineeringidentity emerges as students participate in a medical device company simulation [12], howstudents develop an epistemic frame when completing an urban planning simulation [13], andhow engineering values and epistemology emerge as students participate in a four-weekengineering

students time to plan their answers, and therewas no defined element of presentation of their final solutions.In the mid 1990s there was a concerted movement in education to research, identify, andincorporate effective methods of authentic assessment. This effort was supported and funded bythe US Department of Education (Kerka, 1995). The results were as expected: Authenticassessment methods that incorporate a wide variety of techniques designed to correspond asclosely as possible to 'real world' student experiences are most effective and representative(Custer 1994; Rudner and Boston 1994). Further research has shown that projects and workbased on authentic assessment have longer-lasting influences on students’ confidence andmarketability
