The gap analysis assists in providing a personal development plan for each student.The final project goal is to redesign a traditional classroom for synchronous delivery of thelearning system. The most common classroom at UMR consists of a screen, chalkboard, anddesks or tables for the students. Audio/video carts are available on a reservation basis. Most cartscontain an overhead projector with one video projector in the department.

the extent possible, the academic content of the programshould be identical to that taken by students completing their entire degree at Old DominionUniversity. The only real issue was which courses would be taken at Rajagiri and which wouldbe taken at Old Dominion University. Ideally, the courses in the first two years (or three yearsfor the case of an MS program) of the regular curricular were to be taken at Rajagiri, and allcourses in the remaining two years were to be taken at Old Dominion University. The onlydifficulty with this basic strategy was that facilities at Rajagiri were not adequate for some ofthe engineering laboratories normally required by sophomores. Thus, it became necessary tomodify the ordering of some of the courses. In

by using a hands-onapproach. This laboratory class employs a combination of reverse engineering of consumerproducts and design case studies. The aim is to introduce our students to engineering and designand to generate a first hand appreciation of the discipline. At the same time, students acquirebasic hand skills using wrenches, calipers, and other basic hand tools, they experience howproducts are assembled and designed.The main drawback of this approach is scalability. We offer this course to eight sections of 32students each, but this still only reaches 20 percent of entering engineering students.

Finally, the instructor should provide an opportunity forstudents to assess and get feedback on their understanding of the knowledge throughout the projectsolution stages.Inquiry-based learning is differentiated from the other two strategies in that it is driven by specificquestions for which the students must present answers that are grounded on investigation,research, experimentation, or discovery.

worthwhile careerpath. This is further supported when the student looks for technical electives and finds few ifany in transportation engineering. Second, in higher education today, even with the awareness that more attention needs tobe given to teaching skills and preparation of the undergraduate, the reward system for faculty islargely based on research and publications. As a result, in order to succeed at their tenure andpromotion endeavors, faculty naturally focus on graduate programs and the associated researchand publication opportunities. Working in a system which bases advancement on the ability toattract research and publish, little incentive exists for faculty to promote transportationengineering as an undergraduate experience
