traditionally delivered in face-to-face classrooms in university settings.However, with the decentralizing of corporations and workforces in the late 20th century,potential students have been distributed far from traditional academic centers. Faced with thissituation, persons wishing to pursue continuing professional education have been forced tochoose between employment, or leaving a job to attend school full-time.Distance education has emerged as a viable option for these students. Instead of moving to theeducation, a student can have educational opportunities sent to himself or herself. Students canenroll in courses, participate in them, and graduate with degrees without every actually "beingwith" their instructors or classmates.Many delivery

It addresses theessential elements of open authoring and shares the author’s practical experience. The opentextbook has been adopted by an engineering class as a supplementary text, and the surveyresults indicate positive feedback from students.IntroductionTextbooks have long been a staple of college education, but their cost can pose a significantburden on students.

We have used a variety ofprojects in this course such as Lego robotics, 3D printing-based object design, and Arduino-based projects. We believe more exposure to the engineering design methodology would be verybeneficial to students, and it can also enhance their systems thinking skills [21].The course also includes assignments that would ask students to research other engineeringfields

exercises can bein teaching young engineers the importance of communication within the engineering profession.Many engineering scholars and senior managers continue to struggle with the newly trainedengineer’s inability to communicate effectively research results or a design. Whether thisproblem stems from simply poor communication skills or the lack of engineering instruction thatrequires extensive use of communication skills, the engineering education community mustdevelop procedures that improve student communication skills to better serve our client’s needs.The primary method of developing engineering communication skills is through designproblems. However, design problems are usually evaluated more on the technical aspects ofproblem solving
