. Abstract Lab-based courses are generally not available in an online format because of the need forexpensive lab equipment, time consuming technical assistance and troubleshooting. The recentincrease in demand for online instruction extends past current pedagogical methods and is mademore problematic with the addition of a lab component. As part of our initial research, insummer 2010 we implemented an online course by slightly modifying an existing on-campuscourse. Through this exploration, we collect student and staff feedback that will allow us tofurther develop an innovative pedagogical framework specifically tailored for engineeringstudents in an online environment. Our final implementation of an online lab-based course inelectrical

licensure in civil engineering6 and supporting policy statements indicate thecommitment of the profession to this goal.7,8,9 For example, ASCE states: “[ASCE] recognizesthe leadership role of engineers in sustainable development, and their responsibility to providequality and innovation in addressing the challenges of sustainability.”8 Regardless, it can beargued that ethical engineering requires an understanding of sustainability and its application.However, it is unclear the extent to which our students understand sustainability or perceive thatit is an ethical requirement. Sustainability has rapidly become a buzz-word in society, butappears to be widely used without a real understanding of its full meaning. Some individualsappear to use

So no wonder that more and more universities try to be part of this trend. With theadvances in technology, the possibilities to create great online classes have multiplied.According to the Sloan Consortium (A Consortium of Institutions and Organizations Committedto Quality Online Education) website[11]: “For the past several years, online enrollments havebeen growing substantially faster than overall higher education enrollments” They also givesome numbers to prove this statement: • During Fall 2006, e.g. there were almost 3.5 million students taking at least

This was happening as the first wave of engineersfrom the baby boom years prepare to retire from the active workforce; thus, this creates a gapbetween the insufficient number of engineers (and other scientist & technology workers) enteringthe workforce and the number of technologically focused researchers and innovators needed tocontinue economic growth1.

Our research design spanned over two years and relatedto two student cohorts exposed to the “traditional” approach and the inverted classroom approachrespectively. The research design allowed us to compare various aspects of student learningexperiences and outcomes. In terms of learning outcomes, we assessed both students’ conceptunderstanding and their analytical problem-solving capabilities in addition to their grades. Giventhe lack of research focusing on
