the temperature of the hot air collector and the output variable is the temperature inside the testing unit. These temperatures are measured by two separate thermocouples and read by the controller. The controller then makes the determination whether to run the exhaust fan to push more hot air into the testing unit and raise the internal temperature. (a) (b) Figure 4: collector
will have to take on more responsibility in assessingtheir experience, current literature fails to provide a clear path toward addressing this problem ofbalancing the responsibilities of assessment between instructor and student, nor does it have anysuggestions for dealing with the issue of timely feedback. There is some agreement on thefollowing educational objectives as a way to determine student performance: (a) Design Process,(b) Teamwork, and (c) Design Communication 27, 29. According to the literature, assessmentshould focus on the design process and the student teams’ application of this problem solvingmethod 27-29. Teamwork serves as a primary tenet of assessment as this approaches authenticreal-world experiences of engineers. Finally

The intent is to design and produceaccelerated on-line courses that (a) have the same rigor as those taught on campus, (b) can betaught effectively by faculty other than the course designers and (c) achieve the same studentlearning outcomes.Currently, the Management of Engineering Systems course is scheduled to be taught every Falland Spring in our traditional 16-week format and two or three times a year in the accelerated, on-line format. Since the accelerated on-line courses are being designed for reuse and since theeffort required to initially develop and revise such courses is expected to be significant, once acourse has

It is intended that the design problem serve twopurposes: a) encourage students to apply knowledge from the lab assignments, and b) allowstudents to learn the value of integrated mechanical-electronic-software design as compared tothe more conventional process of sequential design.

topical knowledge, andpreparing them to apply that knowledge in increasingly complex situations. The design of theactive learning exercises was by far the majority of the workload in making the transition, andwas guided by several pedagogical principles: a. Use technology only if it helps student learning or helps the faculty teach better. While this may seem obvious to many, it is important to remember that technology is just the vehicle, not the payload. b. Frame exercises as places to generate teaching opportunities, not as examinations. Getting students to feel comfortable asking questions changes the game so that students are now “pulling” information, instead of the instructor “pushing” it. c. Create exercises that

The course objectives arecomposed of the understanding of emerging project delivery approaches, sustainability andtechnology driven project environment and the near future of construction project environment atthe strategic level. Students in the program have diverse educational backgrounds, thereforeadvanced topics are taught without excluding their fundamentals. The paper presents a termproject example showing how this is accomplished. Each student is given a different topic.
