Computer Engineering. Henceforth the syllabus of the Introduction to Electrical Engineering course will be extended for both ELEE and CMPE majors by including digital circuits and systems, using both hardware and software tools [5]. Digital design tools [6] are available to students to work online and complete homework in the form of formative assessment questions. In particular, FPGAs [7] are easy to configure to provide a wide variety of digital designs. The COVID-19 provoked unexpected shutdown of the university after spring break in March 2020, requiring the application of online teaching tools for the reminder of the 2020 spring semester, posing immediate challenges for the authors and the course instructor [8]. Fortunately, one of the

, instructors were informed in the beginning of the semester to revise theirsyllabus with new PCs, and new ABET outcomes. Instructors were also informed to consult withtheir course coordinator to check if the SLOs were modified for the courses based on the newPCs if they need to be modified. If the SLOs were modified the instructors were required torevise the syllabus to include the new SLOs. In Fall 2019, data collection based on new PCs andnew ABET outcomes was done for the very first time.In Spring 2020, Assessment data from Fall 2019 was compiled into a master assessmentspreadsheet which was made available for viewing by all faculty in the department.

LMS are online applications that offer a way for students and faculty to connect outsideof the classroom environment and share educational information. The extent of LMS use varies.Some faculty use an LMS to post the course syllabus and key documents while others also utilizethe assignment and gradebook features. More technically proficient faculty also incorporatediscussion groups and other features offered in LMS such as Blackboard and Canvas [2, p. 71].A common attribute across most LMS is that they are typically asynchronous tools.

Although delivered in a traditional face-to-face classroom setting,the course was "web-assisted" since a number of course materials were provided online.MethodsThe introductory thermodynamics course used in the study is taken by most engineering majorsin the college. It covers the First and Second Laws along with a number of other topics usuallycovered in such a course. Traditionally this course has been taught using the familiar chalk andblackboard approach. A few years ago, however, the course moved from the traditional approachto one of being web-assisted, meaning that a number of course materials were made available tostudents online.

It is remarkable how students are able to take pictures and upload them without beingseen, since the teacher is vigilant in monitoring the classroom. When there are over 100 studentstaking the exam, it is understandable how a phone can be used yet not seen. Regardless, theevidence was that the student used a phone (or some electronic device capable of taking a picture) totake a picture of an exam problem and post it to the online tutors during the exam.

Unlikeconventional classes, MOOCs can potentially reach an unlimited number ofstudents worldwide. MOOCs have the advantages of engaging learners whoparticipate according to predefined learning goals, prior knowledge and skills, andcommon interests (McAuley, 2010). Although they share some similarities totraditional courses, such as preset syllabus, timeline, homework, and exams,MOOCs are usually zero or low cost, require no physical attendance, and offer noformal

Another tidbit when using MasteringEngineering® is that advancepreparation is recommended for an instructor to acquire the course access code through Pearsonafter a login has been established for the instructor. Doing this in advance allows the instructor toinclude the information on the syllabus to alert students on what is needed for the course and tolessen student frustrations to a friendly tool that can assist their learning by completinghomework online. Academic dishonesty is always a topic of concern, where it is not alwayscertain whether or not a student has received or given help.
