Theapproach avoids redundant efforts to acquire students’ feedback on their academic experienceand provides a consistent set of data with which to compare students in different majors orassociated with different programs or activities. When combined with the results fromevaluations completed by students participating in the Engineering Cooperative EducationProgram and from a survey sent to alumni two to three years after earning their degrees, theperspectives on key educational outcomes can now be compared and tracked for various stagesin students’ academic and early

discusses how theentire class may be involved in discussions by appropriate design of discussion assignments andpresents rubrics for evaluating discussions.Introduction In an online graduate-level course two or more textbooks may be used and breadth anddepth of topics are substantial. Lack of face-to-face contact with the instructor makes it difficultfor the instructor to get good and timely feedback. If the course is not designed properly,interactions among students seem to be limited in scope and opportunities for students to learnfrom each other are wasted. More importantly, an instructor has very few options for ensuringthat students develop critical thinking skills. Discussions are extremely important in distance education

The 0/1 integer programming solution had elegantconstraint formulations and provided flexibility for the inclusion of complex constraints.However, the complexity of the problem rapidly grows with an increase in the number of variablesof the problem. This prompted the investigation into alternative solution approaches that caneffectively handle practical problems with a greater number of faculty members, courses, andconcurrent programs to be scheduled.

engineering education in the United States remains largelyunexplored.A distinctive feature of knowledge building is that it is idea-centered, a characteristic essential ina knowledge age pedagogy. By focusing on ideas rather than schoolwork and tasks, knowledgebuilding supports the intentional, reflective, and metacognitive engagement required for deeplearning. In a knowledge-building environment the focus of the learning community is oncontinually improving ideas. It begins with a question of understanding that is developed by theparticipants, such as, Why do we need water to survive? Learners are encouraged to generate andpost their ideas about the topic--typically in an asynchronous, online group workspace such asprovided by Knowledge Forum
The Student Perspective: The Quality of Our Educational ExperienceAbstractAre college students receiving the overall quality of education that postsecondary institutionsstrive to achieve? Many students have complaints not necessarily in terms of the technicalcomponent of the education, but in terms of presentation style, grading techniques, and instructorenthusiasm. Students also express frustration in the processes of progressing through theeducational system, from program admission through graduation, and feel that there arebreakdowns in communication with faculty. The issue at hand is to determine where thesebreakdowns and gaps occur, and adapt the current methods and mentalities in a fashion thatcloses these gaps.Currently, faculty
