This paper reports the details of this experiment and the results.I. IntroductionConsiderable time, money, and effort have gone into the development of learning technologiesfor engineering education in recent years due to the wide availability of capable computers, theworld wide web, and powerful authoring environments. Unfortunately, a substantial number ofthese technology-based learning innovations have been developed with little thought given todesign issues or to their systematic

and assessment are major criteria included in the Accreditation Board of Engineeringand Technology (ABET) 2000 criteria. This is further substantiated by the many recenteducation related conferences which include assessment as a key subject area. Recently the IEEETransactions on Education devoted a complete special issue on assessment (McGourty andKerns 6 ). The issue contains papers on development, implementation, and institutionalization ofeducational assessment in engineering education. A number of assessment instruments thatassess multiple dimensions of learning are also available (for example, see FLAG7 ) to faculty inscience, mathematics, and engineering. In addition, over the past several years, considerableeffort has been devoted to

body to present advanced engineering technologies, innovativedemonstrations, and hands-on activities at a level that the individual student canunderstand and appreciate.A trend was noticed from the latest “Digest of Education Statistics”, a National Centerfor Education Statistics publication. It showed that between the 2003/04 to 2007/08academic cycles the total number of bachelor’s degrees granted had risen by nearly 12%,while the number of Engineering and Computer Science bachelor’s degrees dropped bynearly the same percentage. OU- ECE also showed significant reductions in studentsduring this timeframe. From the fall of 2004 to the fall of 2008 the ECE undergraduateenrollment numbers at our university dropped an average of 9% per year. After

traditional lecture-basedteaching, which mainly focuses on theoretical aspects of the technology and lacks hands-onexperiences, would not keep students motivated, meet their needs, or lead to enhanced learning.Pedagogical research in engineering education supports this project-based, student-centeredapproach to teaching [12]. Student-centered approaches have consistently been found to be equallyor more effective than traditional approaches, improving learning outcomes and key competencieslike teamwork, critical thinking, and problem solving [12,13]. More specifically, project-basedlearning has been shown to lead to higher student motivation and better understanding of how toapply learning to realistic problems [14]. Therefore, the instructor designed

Morespecifically, power electronics is enabling technology allowing us to convert energy from ac todc, ac to ac, dc to dc, and dc to ac. Power electronics has become increasingly importantnowadays where billions of kilo-watts of electric power are being re-processed every day toprovide the appropriate type and level of power needed by loads1.

areas examined, engineering has much lower online representation compared to others.One reason for this slow adoption of online teaching pedagogies in US engineering programs canbe attributed to the perception by some engineering faculty and administrators that onlinecourses are not equivalent in content and rigor when compared to the traditional, face-to-facecourses. This paper presents the results of a study comparing the performance of on-campus andonline students in a sophomore-level Circuits Analysis course in a public two-year institution. Inthis introductory course for all engineering majors, content is delivered simultaneously to on-campus students and online students (dual delivery mode) using a combination of Tablet PCfunctionality
