for Engineering Education, 2020 Assessing Department of Defense Demand for Veterans During and After Degree CompletionFederal agencies have expended great efforts to support veteran employment. The Department ofDefense (DoD) is no different and is the nation’s largest employer of veterans. Even in somegeographic areas with numerous opportunities for veterans to fully integrate into the civiliansector, many veterans choose employment with a DoD organization or one of the localcontractors supporting DoD organizations. Veterans’ desire to gain employment with aDoD or supporting agency seems to be well matched with the DoD organizations’ desire to hireveterans. In The Citadel’s region, the demand for engineering

Engineering Department c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 WIP: Assessment of Learning Effectiveness in Online and Face- to-Face Learning Environment for Engineering EducationAbstractThis empirical WIP study compares mechanical engineering students’ performances andexperiences in undergraduate online courses with equivalent courses taught in a conventionalface-to-face classroom environment by the same instructors. The comparative analysis includesthe background of students, student ratings of instructor and learning experience; assessment ofcourse interaction, structure, and support; and learning outcomes such as exam grades, and self-assessments.With advances in new internet-based technologies
students who hadcompleted one semester of programming were able to complete an assignment that asked them to write aloop to compute an average of a given data set [14]. Similar results were found by McCracken et al., whogave a language-agnostic CS assessment to 216 students at 8 international institutions at the end of theirintroductory programming course [15]. In general, students did much more poorly than the authorsexpected. As they state, “We did answer the question we asked in the Introduction section: Do students inintroductory computing courses know how to program at the expected skill level? The results from thistrial assessment provide the answer ‘No!’ and suggest that the problem is fairly universal” [15, p. 132].Of our four research
