This result could be explained because the mainchange between the two modalities, in the case of our programming course, was the mediumused to deliver the synchronic sessions. The significant difference in choice between ERTand face-to-face learning, could be explained by the lack of laboratory sessions in ERT,because of the social distance

While this cansatisfy the requirement, a closer reading yields both a different interpretation and an approach toassessment: Students can demonstrate the ability required by criterion 3-d by showing theirunderstanding of what information they need to share with other specializations as part of thedesign process. For example, plants designed by chemical engineers or environmental engineersrequire data from laboratory-scale tests, and their design specifications are in turn used by civilengineers and power engineers, among others, to complete the project. Many product designsrequire interaction between mechanical and electronic engineers.This interpretation does not

The capstone experience inthe Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department at WSU is that of the‘authentic involvement’ type and somewhat unique in that it requires students toparticipate in two dissimilar semester-long, group projects in industry.
