But since nearly everyonerecognizes the economic need to produce more graduates in science, technology, engineering,and math, an alternative to cutting Physics programs entirely was desired. Distance learningtechnology seemed like a reasonable solution to this dilemma. The governor agreed to relaxsome of the minimums if institutions across the state would collaborate on the delivery of low-enrollment courses in these small, costly programs, which in the long term would reduce thenumber of faculty members needed at each institution and thereby reduce the cost to deliver the

terms of theundergraduate and graduate degrees they earn at colleges and universities. Yet, in spite ofsuch advances, most science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields stillremain sharply gender segregated, with men making up the majority.1 This is nowheremore evident than in engineering. According to statistics, women earn 57% ofundergraduate degrees, but only 18% of baccalaureates in engineering.2-3 These trendsare a cause for concern because occupational gender segregation fuels the wage gapbetween men and women, which perpetuates gender inequalities.4 Additionally, a dearthof women in engineering represents the potential loss of human capital that could help toadvance scientific and technological discovery.5In response to this

Students need continuous formative assessmentsto monitor their learning by actively evaluating their level of understanding. Additionally, thereis the present need to satisfy the dynamic technology-based demands of current engineeringstudents.In an attempt to address these challenges, a web-based audience response system was employedin an introductory engineering course at a large, land-grant university in the mid-Atlantic region.This introductory course is offered in multiple sections in the first-year engineering
