AB  -              Theory to Practice: A Reflection on the Application of        Engineering Education Coursework to New Course DevelopmentOne significant challenge for graduate students is translating theories learned in the classroom toreal-world applications. As a second-semester student in an engineering education doctoralprogram I was given an opportunity to develop a new graduate-level course for an online Masterof Civil Engineering (MCE) program. Concurrently, I was enrolled in an Engineering Educationcourse, Content, Assessment, and Pedagogy: An Integrated Engineering Design Approach(CAP) and a Curriculum and Instruction course, Advanced Issues in Distance Education (AIDE).This combination of coursework and employment provided an ideal opportunity to immediatelyapply course concepts to a real-world problem. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on theprocess of translating theoretical course concepts to a new curriculum development project. Myreflection was guided by three overarching research questions: 1) how did I apply theoreticalcourse concepts to develop of a new graduate-level online engineering course, 2) whatchallenges did I face in developing this course, and 3) what lessons learned did I learn that willaid in the development of future courses? I answered these questions by examining thecontributions made by engineering education and distance education bodies of literature, andreflecting on how I synthesized these contributions during the development project. This paperis intended to provide graduate students new to curriculum development with insights regardingthe process and challenges of developing an online engineering course.
