first step in reachinga judgment is a need to fully understand the goals of the traditional engineering laboratory. Oncethese goals are determined, ABET can determine whether a simulated or remote course is anadequate substitution for traditional hands-on experience. In January 2002, ABET held acolloquy to solicit input from a select group of experts to determine a taxonomy of engineeringlaboratory learning objectives. A list of 13 learning objectives was created that participants feltadequately describes the goals of the engineering laboratory. However, the participants of thecolloquy requested that the list be validated and any new issues or challenges related toachieving the objectives be documented. This paper takes an initial step in that

In a later paper, Marsh[15] constructed models whichseparated course workload into “Good” (perceived by students to be valuable to their learning)and “Bad” (unnecessary, excessive, etc.) hours – as originally proposed but not published[15] byGillmore and Greenwald – with Good workload positively and Bad workload negativelyassociated with overall teaching rating [15]. Note that the teaching evaluation data used in thepresent study did not discriminate between Good and Bad workloads.

A Real-Time Program Assessment ToolVital to the effective administration of any organization is the ability to quickly identify andaddress potential operational issues. Unfortunately, even though the technologies are readilyavailable to construct tools to facilitate quick-response assessment, many educational institutions(including The Ohio State University community at large) still rely heavily on paper-and-pencilcourse evaluation surveys given at the end of the academic term to assess course or programeffectiveness.

This focus has left a void in the ability to relate engineeringprinciples to real-world devices and applications. In this paper, we introduce a new approach forfilling this void in a mechanical engineering curriculum. In particular, we describe modificationsand extensions to machine design courses to include hands-on exercises. Through theapplication of “mechanical breadboards,” clear relationships between machine design principlesand the reality of machine components are established. These relationships reduce the number oftopics covered in the courses, but greatly increase the interest of the

. Abstract Lab-based courses are generally not available in an online format because of the need forexpensive lab equipment, time consuming technical assistance and troubleshooting. The recentincrease in demand for online instruction extends past current pedagogical methods and is mademore problematic with the addition of a lab component. As part of our initial research, insummer 2010 we implemented an online course by slightly modifying an existing on-campuscourse. Through this exploration, we collect student and staff feedback that will allow us tofurther develop an innovative pedagogical framework specifically tailored for engineeringstudents in an online environment.

The design scale was chosen for severalreasons. First, it was developed for measuring self-efficacy of engineers specific to an importantengineering capability. Second, it is a tested scale with high content and construct validity. Indeveloping our modeling scale, we have used a similar approach: the subtasks of the modelingprocess are identified and listed and then students are asked how capable they believe they are incarrying each task. We have tested the scale using data from undergraduate engineering students.This paper serves
