The professor activelyfacilitates learning through discussion, feedback and other interactive models and thus servesmore as a teaching mentor and guide rather than a traditional lecturer. An example of activelearning is a student providing a differential equation for a hydraulic system and then challengedto learn everything they need to know to solve it. Taking the lead from accreditation bodies,progress in a course is measured in terms of desired outcomes—skills and knowledge the studentshould possess upon completion.

The program is entirely supported by the utilityand no state funds are involved in the program. The program has strong competition from non-accredited degree granting institutions. Methods of delivery vary with the course of instruction.For laboratory courses, the instructor will generally travel from campus to deliver the material atthe site; for lecture only courses, videoconference is frequently used. Efforts are underway toimport additional courses from other universities at the time of this writing.II

Although themost common form of summative assessment is the final examination, some instructors structuretheir courses in units, and do a summative assessment after each unit. In that model, each unit ofthe course is essentially a self-contained mini-course.Midterm exams are frequently used for both summative and formative purposes. For example, ina course having two midterm exams and a final exam, the midterms may each be used todetermine ten to twenty percent of the final grade (while the final exam, laboratory scores,homework, and other items determine the remainder of the grade).
