There are some factors, however, that have are critical to the successof students engaged in distance education programs (Calvert, 1989).When the Department of Engineering Professional Development began to design andconstruct a new type of graduate program for adult engineers, three considerationsdominated our planning. The first was that of course content and design: What contentwas important to practicing engineers (and their employers) and what course designcharacteristics were relevant?The second consideration was the process of course delivery: What mix of media weregoing to be the most effective in delivering our specific content and engaging ourstudents?

First, the fact that all but one prompt presented in thesurveys resulted in a significantly positive shift suggests that that a collaboratively taughtinnovation program can help students develop their self-efficacy in the three constructs ofintegrative learning, problem solving, and teamwork. However, this data may be partiallyskewed due to the relatively small sample size and lack of a pre-survey, a consideration that willbe addressed later in the research process.
