Engineering Education : Content, Assessment, and Pedagogy

Catalog description

This course in engineering education focuses on course design or redesign by considering course design to be an engineering design problem. Students will use an engineering design process, as they consider the constraints and criteria of designing an engineering undergraduate course. Areas covered will be writing learning outcomes that link to specific course goals for undergraduate engineering courses, how to establish course goals (explicit and implicit), ways to assess whether learning outcomes and course goals are being met, and innovative pedagogical approaches, including online and blended learning. Topical areas will be supported with readings from the engineering education literature.
