) or whenthey are asked specifically to reflect on the materials they study and/or produce (e.g. journals,portfolios). This type of reflection-in-action resonates with Billy Koen’s definition of theengineering method as “the use of heuristics to cause the best change in a poorly understoodsituation within the available resources” 7. In other words, good engineers are those who practicereflection-in-action; engineering educators can help by emphasizing that much engineeringproblem solving involves dealing with “poorly understood situations” where reflection helpswith understanding of both the problem and the practitioner.V.

However, the C range (upper 70s and a low 80) midtermscores are relatively low for a take-home exam and do not support the occurrence of prevalentcheating on the midterm. Hence, we believe that it is safe to assume academic dishonesty is not afactor of concern for this class and for this group of students.ConclusionsOnline education has a significant and growing share of higher education nationally and globally.This study compared traditional in-person and online delivery modes of education to understanddifferences and challenges in student performance.

He reportsthat, “more than two-thirds of the class indicated that the in-class circuits significantly helpedthem to understand the circuit operation and analysis techniques that were being discussed on agiven day.” While there were other papers found in the engineering education literature thatdescribed some good examples for semester-long building projects,5,6 as well
