, faculty cancreate a concrete, measurable representation of student outcomes with respect to ABET a-k.Such portfolios, when combined with targeted assessment rubrics, can provide meaningfulavenues to track program development and success over time.In recent years, these capstone courses have been the subject of extensive discussion amongengineering educators. The design, development, teaching, and assessment of these courses haveprovided a rich focus for presentations at both FIE and ASEE conferences as well as for articlesin the Journal of Engineering Education, the International Journal of Engineering Education,and many disciplinary educational journals. In fact, the subject is so critical to engineering

and rigorously keeping them focused on relevant curricula is the key.In order to successfully and consistently engage their students, educators must be armed with techniquesand strategies adapted for teaching effective online courses.6 The often missed opportunity foruniversities moving courses from onsite to online is the chance to evaluate their practices and onlytransport over the ones which show the most promise of student engagement and a robust fitness for theonline delivery environment. However, initial attempts to adapt onsite teaching methods to onlinecourses achieved little more than copying onsite practices into the digital environment.

The students each purchase the Sparkfun Inventor's Kit 4.1 (Sparkfun, Niwot, CO)which contains an Arduino Uno style development board as well as a breadboard and anassortment of sensors, motors, and other elements. Each weekly module starts with tutorialvideos. A one hour class on Mondays reviews this material in an active-learning style, wherestudents sit in their project groups to complete exercises. Each week has a 2 hour laboratory inwhich an individual programming assignment is competed followed by a homework assignmentdue the following week. The course has 3 individual exams, the first in week 4 on Arduino C++programming, the second in week 8 on Arduino C++ programming, and the third during

Choose the objectives of the course based on these backgrounds and on the knowledge and skills which you deem appropriate to teach, as well as on your interest and expertise. 3. Choose the scope and content of the course based on time and money constraints. 4. Develop the learning experiences to achieve the objectives, within the scope previously determined. These experiences may include in-class activities such as lectures, recitations, and group meetings, as well as out-of-class activities such as required readings and homework assignments. 5.
