The rationale for the development of this 3-credit,graduate-level course included two arguments: (1) to provide practicing technology teachers withan opportunity to build their knowledge of usability and technology assessment; and (2) to pilotthe delivery of an online graduate course. Since the fall of 2000, this course has been offered100% online to on- and off-campus students using the Blackboard

learning experiences within an online undergraduate computerscience program. They found that use of personas enabled curriculum designers to create moreengaging and contextually appropriate experiences for their distance learners through a deeperunderstanding of online students pedagogical and technological needs. Turns, et al. [9] exploredways in which personas could be used to affect positive instructional change in engineeringeducation. By synthesizing the results from several persona-focused workshops conducted withcurricular stakeholders including faculty; instructors; administrators; faculty developers; andstudents, the authors concluded that personas were engaging tools that were effective atTable 1Procedural Steps Used During Usage Model

Instructional Assistants whenthey are administering oral exams.In this study at the University of California, San Diego, 6 courses with a total of 560 students inMechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE), and Electrical and Computer Engineering(ECE) were modified to include oral exams. These courses were taught in the Fall quarter of2021, and class sizes ranged from 30 to 165 students. There were 5 faculty members teachingthese courses, and each developed their own approach to implementing oral exams. This paperdescribes work that is part of a project studying the effectiveness of various oral exam methods[8], [9], [10], [11]. The overall project includes more quarters and thus more courses thancovered in this paper. Surveys were implemented at the
student epistemological development can provide needed insight into the beliefs thatstudents hold about engineering knowledge, how those beliefs relate to student understandingand success and how those beliefs and their relationship to understanding change as studentsprogress through school and transition into the workplace.Goals and Objectives The purpose of this project is to determine when conceptual and epistemological changesoccur for engineers on the path from undergraduate-student to early-career, practicing engineer.The project is also designed to explore how these changes occur and how they interact with eachother. In order to achieve this purpose, we are tracking two cohorts of students; one betweentheir sophomore year in college

problem, for which studentsmust share responsibility for the actualization of a creative resolution. This speaks directly toproject-based and problem-based learning. But it just as much speaks to the value of engagementbeyond the walls of the university. Without some external engagement in the curriculum,projects and problems remain reason-based and/or hypothetical. For example, an imagined end-user does not speak back; however, someone with direct experience of an engineered technologymay have something to say about where problems within a given device lie. Ethics educationarguably has the same problem if the extent of ethical training remains in the student’simagination and if ethics is not something consciously lived out within the context of

Using commonproducts with which the students are already familiar is thought to present a framework withinwhich new concepts can be introduced.Recently, a new engineering system was added to the list of familiar products for reverse-engineering investigation: the human body. This incredible machine can be explored usingengineering measurements and analyzed using engineering principles. Basic physiologicresponses are already familiar to students through “common
