This paper willoutline the basic premises and methods of our assessments, then compare data from traditionaland online courses, and discuss how “soft” skills such as teamwork, communication and peerreview, and creative problem-solving can be assessed in both traditional and online courses.Specific data from engineering technology, computer graphics technology, and organizationalleadership and supervision will be discussed, as well as statistical data comparing results fromonline courses and traditional

Introduction The way engineering is being taught has changed in recent years with the introduction ofcommercial and educational software that enable and facilitate a better understanding of thesubject matter and increased teaching efficiency. Students learn better, remember longer and arebetter able to identify the appropriate concepts to solve new problems when they learn byaddressing concrete problems and actively participate in exploration and pursuit of knowledge1.

Several institutions across the country have piloted or adapted the assessmentsystem for programmatic feedback. Some programs are using the assessment system as a means tosupport ABET accreditation expectations.As engineering programs in the United States work to integrate ABET expectations, particularlythose focused on engineering design, more information is needed to properly support faculty in thisendeavor. To increase understanding of assessment in the context of design capstone courses, a two-phase descriptive study of assessment practices in capstone design courses was conducted. The

. Factories responded to thischallenge by expecting employees to integrate other jobs into their own and work with lessmanagement support. The most flexible fab employees run production, make process-engineering decisions, manage workflow, maintain the equipment, and train as a team. Theseflexible skill requirements presuppose a broad knowledge in science, math and communications.Few employees are that versatile. Some have a narrowly focused two-year education, whilemany others have no formal education beyond high school. As factories grow in size andcomplexity the number of graduates are ready for these jobs is not adequate. A key componentof job readiness is work-based experience.

, interest and career goals, and sexism[7]-[8]. Geisinger and Raman [7] argue that two main reasons for student attrition are inadequateteaching and the competitive, anti-collaborative nature of the engineering program. Self-efficacyand supportive mentors and teachers are significant factors in student retention, perhaps evenmore valuable than student’s grades [5], [7]-[9]. If students feel they can succeed in their chosenfield and have a strong support system, they are less likely to drop or switch majors, even if theirGPA is not as high as their peers.Students with a higher sense of belonging in their academic studies typically have a higherretention rate in their programs [7].

Greene’s argument, made more than 50 years ago, isthat teachers are better prepared to support student learning and inquiry about their worlds if theyapproach their own work as that of a self-conscious stranger, a person who notices and makesexplicit the cultural norms of the world they and their students inhabit. I found it difficult toadopt this mindset as a disciplinary insider in the field of educational administration but found italmost impossible to ignore when I entered the new (to me) field of engineering education. I didnot need to “make strange” because I already was strange. My outsider status and regular run inswith disciplinary norms made them easier to spot. These
