quality, accessibility and breadth.Engineering education has lagged behind other fields in adapting online teaching methodologies (10, 11, 12, 13) . Reasons for this lag include the Five Pillars of Quality Online Learning need for hands on engineering experiences in laboratories with often expensive equipment and substantial computing power (10). Until recently, this type of computer power was not Effectiveness

process information. Kolb contrasted receiving information throughconcrete experience (when reading and doing homework) with receiving through abstractconceptualization (when thinking about concepts and models). For processing information, onceit is received, Kolb contrasted reflective observation (when listening to lectures) with activeexperimentation (when involved in active exercises and/or in laboratory settings).(14,15) Learningis enhanced as more of the learning styles are engaged. It is believed that about 20 percent of theinformation presented is retained if abstract conceptualization is used alone. Whereas retentioncould reach 90 percent if all four stages are employed.(14, 15)Different preferred learning styles are a fertile area to

The design solution will be documented by a100 page report (conciseness is one aspect of good engineering) and a live team (everyoneinvolved) oral presentation (forty minute presentation with ten additional minutes for questionsby the review panel – again, conciseness is a key factor) to a review panel of missile designprofessionals from industry and government. There are some critics who will say that thisapproach yields nothing but a “paper” design. However, to the author’s knowledge, almostevery known (hardware) missile has started life as a “paper” design.In this missile model curriculum, the missile design courses are taught as laboratory courses withsix contact hours per week (two-quarter

The communication and buy-in achievedthrough these workshops is well worth the investment, though it sometimes appears as if onemerely “pays people to talk to each other”.Facilities can be purchased as needed. All of the activities implemented at Louisiana TechUniversity need the personnel first and foremost and facilities second. Yet it has to be said thatthe traditional classroom or computer laboratory environment is not conducive to cooperative,technology supported learning. Furniture is hard to group and, once it is grouped, the instructormay not be able to easily reach the groups and communicate with them. Moreover in a traditionalcomputer laboratory the machines have an

This journal can help students to reflect on the ways inwhich their experiences in Costa Rica have broadened their perspectives and deepened theirunderstanding of other cultures. For example, they might write about new foods they tried,people they met, or traditions they observed. By reflecting on their experiences, students cangain a better understanding of themselves and the world around them.2.

This is consistent with previous findings showing that graduate students did wellwith gathering quality sources but not as well with evaluating or synthesizing that research in ameaningful way [15], [17].By the time they are eligible to take this course, most undergraduate students from NortheasternUniversity have had 1-2 writing intensive laboratory classes, a first-year module on how to uselibrary sources, and a class in technical writing in the discipline. Additionally, some of thestudents have already taken Capstone Design, which requires them to write a rather lengthyreport and use literature information to guide their design.
