In this contribution, we present the design of the Exploration Elective courseand its implementation with large classes during the Covid-19 pandemic through synchronousdistance education. We surveyed 649 students after they completed the class. They were enrolledin eight different courses at all 25 campuses. We report an overview of students' satisfaction withtheir achievement of the course's

video technology has become a widely used medium for education. A prominentimplementation of this technology, interactive distance learning, involves groups of students atlocal and remote sites connected by audio and video teleconferencing. This approach has madethe task of delivering vital undergraduate and graduate engineering courses to distributedaudiences much easier.As this approach has permeated more curricula, distance education instructors have increasinglyassigned projects that require distance learners to work together as an element of the final coursegrade. This trend presents an interesting opportunity for researchers to understand the nature ofinteractions among course participants involved in project teams.This paper presents the

The capstone students are required to identify aneducational need within the mechanical engineering technology program. This need is discussedwith the faculty for the development of a hands-on laboratory instrument that will facilitatelearning in the program. The results from these discussions determine the design requirementsfor the capstone project. These capstone students must also learn the design process that hasmilestones with deliverables

It is a lot ofwork, but there is no better way to learn what other programs are doing.ABET is us. The ABET staff is very small and most of the accreditation work is done byvolunteer evaluators and team chiefs who are either practitioners or academic faculty in similarprograms. We are in essence a self-regulating entity. And hopefully if we do a good jobpolicing ourselves, nobody else will ever have to.Bibliography1 Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc
