As the push foronline educational opportunities continues to grow and the demand for quality increases, WPIhas invested in instructional design resources to help develop online courses through acollaborative design model, moving away from instructors developing their coursesautonomously and in seclusion. Adopting a collaborative course design model requires a culturalshift for faculty in how they approach their course design and facilitation processes. Instructorswho have participated in the quality design in online courses pilot program have been targeted towork one-on-one with an instructional designer to work in collaborative

The new Measurement Systems course wasidentified as an appropriate course to assess ABET Student Outcome 6 that states that studentswill have “an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpretdata, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions” [5]. This outcome differed slightlyfrom the previous Student Outcome b; thus, a new assessment was developed.A final significant factor in the course development was the multiyear effort at LTU toincorporate entrepreneurial education throughout the engineering curriculum [6, 7, 8].

From the perspective of assessment, “ethics inaction” is problematic for instructors who encounter students only in the classroom context. It isnonetheless quite useful because it provides an integrative, non-hierarchical framework thatallows us to think about engineering ethics education on a larger scale than we ordinarily do. Italso opens up the possibility of recognizing the structural factors that have made it difficult tointegrate ethics into the engineering curriculum on a systematic basis.Despite an abundance of resources available to support engineering ethics instruction, includingcases provided through the Online Ethics Center (OEC), “the engineering literature

In response to this new pedagogical framework, thesemester-long course project for an upper-level ocean engineering course was reinvented. Theproject was inspired by Wired Magazine’s video series “5-Levels” in which experts explain atopic to a child, teenager, undergraduate, graduate student, and an expert in their field. This fall,students worked individually to create a video series in which they explained a self-selectedadvanced topic in ocean engineering to three distinct audiences of their choosing. The success ofthe new course project is assessed through analysis of students’ videos
