Observations oflow-confidence students making good suggestions to their lab partners and being ignored is not arare event.The third inspiration for this work was the fact that information on weaknesses of the studentswas not clear until during the actual lab itself or after the lab had been finished.

Because the undergraduate degrees in electrical engineeringand computer engineering at CTU are ABET-accredited, the online courses that need to bedeveloped have to meet ABET standards as well. In addition, the courses must meet the samelearning outcomes whether delivered online or traditional face-to-face instruction.

This review refutes some common explanations for highstudent attrition rates from engineering programs after their first-year in college. Daempfle’sresearch indicates that poorer retention rates arise from higher student dissatisfactions due to:classroom instructional factors, differing

. The question Catrambone likes to ask–and the thread that runs through the projects he does alone and in collaboration with others–is: What does someone need to know in order to solve novel problems or carry out tasks within a particular domain? Catrambone’s research interests include problem solving, educational technology, and human-computer interaction. He is particularly interested in how people learn from examples in order to solve problems in domains such as algebra, probability, and physics. He explores how to create instructional materials that help learners understand how to approach problems in a meaningful way rather than simply memorizing a set of steps that cannot easily be transferred to novel problems
