Further, our Introduction to Engineering course isfor all engineering majors and thus ideally should address both mechanical and electricalsystems. Finally, members of our department feel that creativity and open ended design isbeneficial to the students and projects such as

functions – providing an opportunity for the students to reinforce or practice the concepts, and as an assessment of progress. Homework that is not graded, or does not contribute to the course grade will probably not be completed by the students. One of the things to establish with students is how much collaboration, if any, is permitted on the homework. Assessment can be designed to include important topics that may not directly be related to the course topic such as ethics. Page 10.1003.4 Your assessment should evaluate the student’s ability to demonstrate competence in the areas of the course objectives. It may be helpful to the

A “trade show” with a prototype and poster competition completes thecourse’s professional experiences. Employer response to the efforts has been very positive andencouraging.I. IntroductionThroughout the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (EE) program at MSOE, design isstrongly integrated into many courses. These projects are generally short-term, and involveindividual or two-student teams. The projects lead to the major capstone design experience,Senior Design, which is a three-quarter course sequence: EE-407/8/9

This programintegrates humanities, especially communication and composition skills, with math, science, andengineering components. Creativity is enhanced by introducing literature, poetry, and journalwriting. 4,5 Concurrent assignments in engineering and humanities classrooms allow the studentsto explore creative self-expression through writing poetry5 about engineered products such as aCD-ROM, laser printer, radar, suspension bridge, or

Excellent lecture notes and PowerPointpresentations in the traditional F2F format simply placed online may not generate similaroutcomes. Further, face-to-face course material in themselves cannot replace or impartthe motivation and stimulation that the instructor’s “presence” conveys to the traditionalclass.Since most course contact in the on-line delivery modality is written, proper knowledgeand practice of “netiquette” is important. Netiquette includes the ethics and the do’s anddon’ts of on-line communication.

The result has been a win-win-win situation for all participants.The participating departments at USD win by having their processes documented by an unbiasedconsultant. The students win by applying textbook knowledge and by being exposed to abroader knowledge of professionalism and ethics than from textbook exercises.
