Backward Design (McTighe and Wiggins, 2005)Backward design begins with the end in mind and asks the questions: What enduringunderstandings do I want my students to develop? How will my students demonstrate theirunderstanding when the unit is completed? How will I

401 Teaching Online in Electrical Engineering; Best Practices Experiences and Myths Bruno Osorno California State University, Northridge, CaliforniaAbstract- Online teaching is here to stay. We cannot longer deny or refuse to teach on line, thereforewe must reinvent ourselves and develop skills that we did not have or did have and did not know it.This paper attempts to describe the practices we have had in the teaching of electrical engineeringcourses online. We will show how effective, ELLUMINATETM has

162 Teaming Multi-level Classes on Industry Projects Lizabeth Schlemer & Jose Macedo Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering Cal Poly – San Luis ObispoAbstract For the past few years we experimented with teaming students from a sophomore-levelclass and a senior-level class to work on industry projects. The classes are “work design” and“facilities design.” Projects are selected to require the application of knowledge from bothdisciplines. In addition, the projects are selected from small

The IT triad of effectively managingPeople, Technology and Processes emphasizes the dynamic nature of the project developmentcycle. The ability to complete a specific assignment where the problem has one solution nolonger is the rule. Clients change their minds on what they want, technology does not alwayswork the way it should and processes are frequently ill-defined.
