Although it requires more time to develop an on-line assessment, the instructor does not need to grade it.Current on-line assessment systems only allow for multiple-choice, true/false, fill in the blank,and similar types of questions. Many engineering educators argue that these types of questionsare not appropriate for engineering education since they are unable to grade a numerical answerto an acceptable range. One application where existing tools are adequate is assessing studentmastery of a concept.1 For this type of assessment, the instructor and students get immediatefeedback on whether or not the material

While the discussion is concerned with the current practices in theelectrical engineering department at Cal Poly, the literature suggests they also reflect thepractices of other similar programs.Within the context of program accreditation by The Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET), alumni contribute in two important ways:  By serving on Industrial Advisory Boards (IAB);  By responding to alumni surveys;While AIB

Education Experiential learning, most simply defined as learning by doing, can occur in multiplecontexts at the university level. For example, many undergraduates have opportunities for hands-on laboratory time, internships, and service-learning programs. Through these experiences,ideally four stages should occur: participating in the experience, reflecting about the experience,conceptualizing (understanding) what they experienced, and applying what they learned in asimilar setting [6]. When bringing experiential learning into the classroom, particularly within acourse focused on engineering design, it can integrate authentic learning experiences intostudents’ plan of study and daily lives [1].

Like the junior year project, GPS are designed to engage students with current events, societal problems, andhuman needs. Each seminar focuses on a large global issue. Power the World (PTW), focuses on energy and itsutilization. PTW is co-taught by a mechanical engineer and a social scientist (public policy).The faculty who developed the seminars [3] focused on three key principles: 1.
