makes it possible forstudents to obtain education without the constraints of distance or working schedule.There are generally two methodologies used in online course delivery, namely, asynchronousand synchronous methods. With the asynchronous method, an instructor does not interact withstudents directly (i.e., not in a real-time mode). There are several Internet based tools availablefor asynchronous communication, such as email, web, FTP, mailing list, newsgroup, etc. Withthe synchronous method, an instructor and students interact directly in real-time mode. There arealso several Internet based tools available for synchronous communication, such as IRC (InternetRelay Chat), audio/video conferencing, and whiteboard. Both methods might be used in
insmall groups does achieve the educational goals very well when properly implemented andthat it can be used e ectively in courses at all levels.The di culty that arises in certain intermediate level engineering courses is that it is inthese courses that the students are expected to learn the applications of physics conceptsto engineering problems. Normally, this will require that the students are expected to learnmathematical modeling of the physical problem, methods of solution of the mathematicalmodel and interpretation of the math results in terms of physical reality. This transitionfrom physics to mathematics and back to physics is not trivial for students in engineeringscience courses and active learning methods can be devised and

weresome drawbacks to online instruction during Covid-19, the benefits observed have promptedhigher education institutions to take a serious look at developing and offering some coursesonline. The main benefits are the flexibility it provides to both students and instructors alongwith increased enrollment by attracting students outside of their institution. This online courseoffering can be in the form of synchronous (zoom), asynchronous (web-based), or hybrid formatwith some in-person component. Many researchers who studied the benefits and challenges ofonline learning have highlighted the importance of course design in online learning to bebeneficial and to avoid pitfalls.

The intent wasto provide a true “capstone” experience, where students in each degree program could combine theirskills to achieve the successful completion of a project. The primary objective of the capstoneexperience is to combine all aspects of the planning, design, and construction phases of a project intomeaningful education experience which mimics “real-world” design and construction practices.Students are required to use all of the knowledge and skills that they have acquired throughout theireducational experience to develop the documentation required for actual project construction (designdrawings, cost estimates
