Computer Engineering. Henceforth the syllabus of the Introduction to Electrical Engineering course will be extended for both ELEE and CMPE majors by including digital circuits and systems, using both hardware and software tools [5]. Digital design tools [6] are available to students to work online and complete homework in the form of formative assessment questions. In particular, FPGAs [7] are easy to configure to provide a wide variety of digital designs. The COVID-19 provoked unexpected shutdown of the university after spring break in March 2020, requiring the application of online teaching tools for the reminder of the 2020 spring semester, posing immediate challenges for the authors and the course instructor [8]. Fortunately, one of the
, instructors were informed in the beginning of the semester to revise theirsyllabus with new PCs, and new ABET outcomes. Instructors were also informed to consult withtheir course coordinator to check if the SLOs were modified for the courses based on the newPCs if they need to be modified. If the SLOs were modified the instructors were required torevise the syllabus to include the new SLOs. In Fall 2019, data collection based on new PCs andnew ABET outcomes was done for the very first time.In Spring 2020, Assessment data from Fall 2019 was compiled into a master assessmentspreadsheet which was made available for viewing by all faculty in the department. The datacollection in Spring 2020 halted due to sudden shift in the mode of instruction to online

This paper is meant to give the reader a complete overview of a typicalonline course whether for distance students or on-campus students that cannot or do not want toattend normal classes.

Course Management Systems.Since course content, syllabus, lectures, and other important documents will be available throughthe online course management system, it makes sense that even library instruction and referencebe embedded through course management systems. Appropriate course web pages and researchguides can be linked through these systems providing easy access to students. Course specificonline books can also be linked so that students can access them through the course web pages.Faculty members in collaboration with the engineering librarian can identify appropriate onlinebooks or book chapters for their
interaction and benefits, whichbecome apparent upon further examination. LMS are online applications that offer a way for students and faculty to connect outsideof the classroom environment and share educational information. The extent of LMS use varies.Some faculty use an LMS to post the course syllabus and key documents while others also utilizethe assignment and gradebook features. More technically proficient faculty also incorporatediscussion groups and other features offered in LMS such as Blackboard and Canvas [2, p. 71].A common attribute across most LMS is that they are typically asynchronous tools. Documentsharing, message boards, and even recorded lectures all can be accessed by students at differenttimes throughout the day, there

Although delivered in a traditional face-to-face classroom setting,the course was "web-assisted" since a number of course materials were provided online.MethodsThe introductory thermodynamics course used in the study is taken by most engineering majorsin the college. It covers the First and Second Laws along with a number of other topics usuallycovered in such a course. Traditionally this course has been taught using the familiar chalk andblackboard approach. A few years ago, however, the course moved from the traditional approachto one of being web-assisted, meaning that a number of course materials were made available tostudents online. These materials included the course syllabus, assignments, homework solutions,class

It is remarkable how students are able to take pictures and upload them without beingseen, since the teacher is vigilant in monitoring the classroom. When there are over 100 studentstaking the exam, it is understandable how a phone can be used yet not seen. Regardless, theevidence was that the student used a phone (or some electronic device capable of taking a picture) totake a picture of an exam problem and post it to the online tutors during the exam.

The Collegeof Engineering at Iowa State University (ISU) has undertaken a new initiative to help address theABET 2000 Outcomes.

In a face-to-face course the syllabus is planned inadvance, but instructors can usually develop materials as the course progresses. Now that thepreparation has been done, future iterations of the online

One of the modules developed was the Resolving DifficultEthical Issues e-Learning Module [19]. At the University, all 4th-year senior seminar course engineeringand computer science majors study the module as part of the seminar syllabus. Other work related to theassessment of the use of the e-learning modules has focused on contributions to the development ofstudents’ entrepreneurial mindset. The work presented here focuses on the effectiveness of the module tothe topic within the engineering ethics domain. The online module’s learning objectives were formed assequentially [19].

The three sections had a combined enrollment of 173students during the assessment period, and were under the instruction of the research team. At theend of the semester, students were asked to complete a survey concerning their experiences withthe online text. The survey included no student or demographic identifiers. All three sections usedthe same syllabus and grading schema, and the engineering topics covered in each of the threesections were identical.To assign a point value to the pre-class reading, i.e., utilization of the text via the completion ofthe assigned embedded questions, a participation score of 10% was applied to the course.

source paradigm of massive information sharing has spurred manyopportunities for education. Massive open online courses (MOOC), which arefreely available courses that combine social networking with online videos andassessment, will grow in the coming years to reach learners of all ages. Unlikeconventional classes, MOOCs can potentially reach an unlimited number ofstudents worldwide. MOOCs have the advantages of engaging learners whoparticipate according to predefined learning goals, prior knowledge and skills, andcommon interests (McAuley, 2010). Although they share some similarities totraditional courses, such as preset syllabus, timeline, homework, and exams,MOOCs are usually zero or low cost, require no physical attendance, and offer noformal
penalized. Another tidbit when using MasteringEngineering® is that advancepreparation is recommended for an instructor to acquire the course access code through Pearsonafter a login has been established for the instructor. Doing this in advance allows the instructor toinclude the information on the syllabus to alert students on what is needed for the course and tolessen student frustrations to a friendly tool that can assist their learning by completinghomework online. Academic dishonesty is always a topic of concern, where it is not alwayscertain whether or not a student has received or given help. To help overcome this issue,Professor A and B also gave in-class quizzes to also assess student learning of topics. From theseresults, it was quite
