Use Of Ongoing Assessment Of Intended Learning Outcomes To Evaluate Effectiveness Of Online And On Campus Delivery Of A Structural Analysis Course

Conference Session: TC2K and Assessment
Collection: 2004 Annual Conference
Authors: Abi Aghayere

the procedure for assessing the course or program, a determination ofany areas of weakness, effecting necessary changes to improve the course and then, re-assessingto find out how well the adopted measures worked, thus “closing the loop” on the continuousimprovement process.The Civil Engineering Technology (CET) program at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) ispreparing for an ABET accreditation next fall. In preparation for the accreditation visit, theauthor carried out a survey of students in the online and on-campus structural analysis courses togauge how well the predetermined set of intended learning outcomes (ILOs) were achieved. Thestudents were asked to rate the ILOs for each of the six modules in the course on a scale of 1 to 5(5

Sincethe ELET program also offers an IADE (Individual Access Distance Education) option fordegree completion, online sections for on-campus courses are required. It is therefore necessaryto have SI sessions available for the on-campus students as well as eSI (electronic SI) sessionsfor the IADE students.For most ELET courses, WebCT is utilized as an asynchronous means of interaction between theinstructor and students for both on-campus and IADE sections. The difference in interactionarises in the way supplemental instruction is designed and conducted, especially for

Distributing the Capstone Design Experience

Collection: 2004 ASEE Midwest Section Conference
Authors: Norman D. Dennis

Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), requires students to beprepared for engineering practice “…trough the curriculum culminating in a major designexperience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier coursework…”. Thisculminating design experience has been labeled by many as the “Capstone Design.” ABET doesnot prescribe the mechanics of how this experience is to be administered. It instead allows theindividual institution the latitude to define what a culminating experience is and how thatexperience meshes with its curriculum. As a result a wide variety of culminating experiencesexist at various institutions. Welch, (2004) reports the use of one-semester design-build projectsas an excellent venue to satisfy criterion 4

The impact of the interaction described was essentially on thecurriculum, but it suggests benefits to the industrial partners beyond the involvement ofundergraduate students.The Graduate Internship Program (GIP) discussed in the paper is different from the partnershipsdiscussed above in the sense that we do not transfer research results from academia to theindustry.
