Three primary designs were developed for experimentation in this project; thedesigns went through a progression from basic to more complex (Figure 1).

Both these courses provide students withtheoretical knowledge and hands on experience. The ABET outcomes for ME-335/L class are asfollows:1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering, outcome (a),2. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data, outcome (b),3. an ability to communicate effectively (3g1 orally, 3g2 written), outcome (g), and4. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering
website recommends that students should complete at least sixmath-based lower division courses (such as Calculus I/II, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra,Physics I/II, Chemistry I/II, Statics, Dynamics, Engineering Economics, Circuits, or similarcourses) before joining the BSIE 2+2 online program. The website also recommends thatstudents should have reasonable good grades (mostly A and B) in these math-based lowerdivision courses. While LU has reasonable low transfer admission standards, the departmenttargets students who would have a reasonable high probability of completing a challengingdistance engineering education program. The degree plan in Table 1 is somewhat typical, butsome variation is common (e.g. POLS, HIST, etc. being taken in

The most critical of these was the requirement of the class portfolio. This gavethe students practice in selecting artifacts and writing reflective statements. The class portfoliorequirement was also a very effective means of integrating the graduation portfolio buildingprocess throughout the program. Additional support included: (a) faculty led graduationportfolio preparation and review/feedback sessions in the capstone design class, (b) thedevelopment of a portfolio template to insure minimum expectations and standards were met forportfolio completeness, (c) student societies preparing and selling

Specifically, this paper addresses some preliminary research questions related to thepotential impact of training workshops on the engineering knowledge of rural teachers andstudents: how did participating in the RREE professional development affect (a) teachers’ andstudents’ knowledge and perceptions regarding engineering, (b) teachers’ self-efficacy ofteaching engineering, and (c) students’ attitudes about science and mathematics?Related Literature There is a nationwide emphasis on integrating engineering education into P-12 learning.The impetus in the U.S. stems from a projected need to increase the quantity and quality (anddiversity) of future engineers.11, 12 However, a number of barriers and

. For example, in the mechanical engineering field, 7,089 undergraduate students are enrolled as part-time basis in 20081. The number increased to 10,096 in 20121. The development of asynchronous courses is to help those students who are restricted by work requirements, geographical distance, disabilities, and combination of these factors. In the authors’ program, 148 out of 327 total enrollments in the academic year of 2014 are part-time students. b.
