Course Topics and Motivation for Web Based InstructionThis course prepares he student to consider the economic dimensions in the evaluation ofengineering alternatives. Hence it is particularly useful in the analysis and decision stages of theengineering design process. Emphasis is on the analytical consideration of money and its impacton the areas of system operations and acquisition.The course is taught in 4 related lesson blocks.

Toanswer their inquiries, new tools were developed to elicit student prior knowledge and learningexperiences and to illuminate data trends. Instructors were able to theorize on how students learn andstudents were able to communicate and explain their level of learning engagement and study habits.

In all cases inwhich hands-on learning has been studied, the pedagogy has been successfully implemented,even in traditionally theory-only based courses, with more engaged students and instructorshands-on learning as one of the results. Although the initial assessments of this new approach toSTEM education argue for broad application, the definitive case for its adoption has yet to bedocumented so that all STEM educators can fully appreciate its merit. Thus, the most effectiveapproach to STEM education is still in question in the broader community and best
