the ideas and decides which three ideas to recommend for further consideration.Curricular ContextAt our institution, there are two undergraduate engineering programs: industrial engineering andmechatronics. Apart from disciplinary courses emphasizing design, students from both programsare required to take a two course sequence in their senior year: the Senior Seminar (two semester-credits) and the Senior Design Project (three semester-credits). In the Senior Seminar coursestudents are introduced to some general design ideation concepts like brainstorming, brainwriting,collaborative sketching, morphological analysis, transformational design using mind-mapping,design by analogy, TRIZ, and the S-field theory. In the Senior Design Project course

Experience with online instruction of remedial students, such asthe Udacity experiment at CSU San Jose, suggest that the less structured nature of onlineteaching may be a poor fit for remedial or less mature students.Description of the Model.

But also, students can communicatewith teachers and tutors.In France, except in experimental cases in a few penitentiaries, prisons are not connected tothe Internet. Therefore, educational and technical solutions for this particular setting must beprovided by instructors in higher education as well as instructional designers.

The D4Pcourses engaged students to learn by actively using engineering education tools that address theissues of realizing a design: problem solving, project management, and teaming.The D4P program provided courses that emphasized team-oriented design and project management.However, traditional manufacturing knowledge and basic skills were not originally addressed,because the program, prior to the 2000’s was not sufficiently large to generate sufficient resources tosupport an ongoing manufacturing laboratory.

Another 35% were neutral, finding the information useful but notdecisive, and no students rated the seminars as unhelpful. These results suggest the seminars arebroadly effective but vary in impact, especially for students already committed to a major. Thishighlights the need for presentations that balance general overviews with more detailed supportfor those still exploring their
