This course is not a requirement for anyof the majors offered at the institution. Checking the rosters from the past six years of studentsthat took this course, it is possible to see that there is not a pattern that links students’ majorswith taking the course. Students’ majors vary between the 26 majors offered by the school fromFilm and Video through

It has been found through instructionalexperience that most working professionals, even in these fields, have historically not beenadequately exposed to the concepts covered in this course. This situation could change in thefuture through sharing these concepts among university professors. At this time, application ofthese concepts or case studies into an engineering curriculum could be done at either anintroductory or advanced level, depending on the prior knowledge of the students.Pre-reading assignments given to the students include the following materials:  ISO/IEC 17025, General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories2;  Beginner’s Guide to Measurement3; and

Thus, almost every course has thelaboratory portion integrated in the course curriculum. Due to the stay-at-home order, theuniversity suspended face-to-face instruction and moved completely online for Spring 2020 andSummer 2020 semesters. This affected the ECET courses to the max due to the lab portions of thecourses.

Those who did attend would havereceived an introduction to commonly used research databases in engineering and would havepracticed evaluating and citing sources as part of assignments for that course.
