Technology literacy and “life-long” learning hasbecome an essential part of the millennium work environment.

While students mayinteract with each other or engage in group work, their attention and direction is focused on theprofessor as the center of the learning activity. Additionally, “class” means the face-to-face timespent with the teacher in charge. This traditional model usually persists into graduate orprofessional education.Challenges of the Online ClassroomWhen professors decide to offer classes online, they must not only change the way instruction isdesigned, but also the way they conceive of the classroom itself.

short on-line quizzes to enable the students toassess their learning. These quizzes were created using CGI scripts and provided automaticfeedback to the students. Links to additional practice problems were provided for students whodid poorly on the tests. (We know of several faculty members who provide links to on-linecopies of their final exams.) Further assessment was conducted using standard testing proceduresin the classroom. In two other courses, we provided rubrics for assessing laboratory reports andtechnical reports.Evaluation from the instructional designer's perspective generally refers to evaluation of theinstruction (formative and summative). Formative evaluation is much more prevalent in trainingthan in education and often includes

activities have includedfamiliarization with laboratories, computer facilities and network software. Taking into accountthe student learning outcomes specified by ABET, key topics that are now covered include timemanagement and study skills, habits of highly effective people 6, communication skills, creativityand problem solving techniques, and ethical situations in engineering practice. The micro steamcar project is introduced early in the semester so that students have most of the semester to buildtheir cars. In addition, students are assigned to work in teams from the outset.Problem solving is a fundamental skill that engineers are expected to have and is listed by ABETas a necessary attribute for an engineering graduate.
