. Theseinclude online quizzes before class and a large library of external links that are used forresources. A sample of the first two weeks are displayed in Figure 1. Notice that the plan isdivided into inside and outside class activities, all of which are thoughtfully designed to addmeaning and content to the course. These activities (a) get students ready or prepared forclass, (b) give them opportunities to practice—with prompt feedback via the Wileyplusplatform—doing whatever it is you want them to learn to do, and (c) allow them to reflect ontheir learning. The objective is to produce a sequence of activities that build on each other. Oneparticular activity was the construction of a poster and presentation of a real life failure event,sample of

Indeed, study-abroad and project-abroad experiencesare increasingly viewed as important for engineering students’ careers. Assessing the studentlearning outcomes of such programs can benefit (a) the students, as they engage in self-reflectionand communication about their experience, (b) the study-abroad program itself, for continualimprovement, and (c) the engineering education community at large, as it seeks effectivemethods and models for preparing engineers for their work.
