Student comments suggest the materials alsochallenge their misconceptions about writing in engineering. Although the project focuses oncivil engineering, the principles behind the project and the procedures for materials developmentand assessment are applicable to any engineering discipline.1. IntroductionThis paper describes a project that addresses a persistent problem in engineering education: thediscrepancy between the writing skills of program graduates and the demands of writing in theworkplace.

Some dashboards are designed specifically for students [7],but the majority provide performance and engagement metrics for the educator.

The openness of the courses, high enrollment numbers, andheterogeneity of learners in any given course have complicated how to make sense of the valueof offering MOOCs, both on the individual course level and the overall impact of MOOCs.Because of the openness of the course and large numbers of enrollment, MOOCs present majorchallenges to the educational evaluation community. In particular, there have been concernsregarding what type of evaluation metrics are applicable for a MOOC environment. Nonetheless,it may be possible to address these concerns with a thorough understanding the contexts ofcourses, learners, and

Thestudents also performed experiments using GPS handheld receivers whereby the distancebetween points in space were measured. The results were compared with a mapping computeraided design (CAD) program.

progressive reduction,elimination or "scientification" of engineering drawing, manufacturing methods (e.g. as intro-duced by workshop practice for Mechanical Engineering) and similar topics in engineeringcurricula has made matters worse. Admittedly, these particular topics are more applicable tomechanical engineering than to most other engineering disciplines, but equivalents exist.2. PROBLEM SOLVING AND DESIGNINGA partial redress was initiated by introducing a more formal instruction and practice of theprocedures and methods of problem solving (or "guided design") at some institutions. 2,3 Proce-dural knowledge of this kind, especially for open-ended problems, is a necessary addition toknowledge about objects and their related phenomena.Engineering
