In this paper, we highlight the impact of improvement efforts on outcome items (h)and (c), and begin discussions about results for outcome item (j).Over the past seven semesters, the assessment schedule within the capstone design course haspurposely repeated several outcomes. This schedule is seen in Table 1. Semester Outcome Items Assessed F'03 c, e, f, g S'04 c, e, f, g F'04 d, g, h, p S'05 h, i, j F'05 c, h, i, j S'06 f, i, j, n F'06 c, g, h, i, jTable 1.

learning effectiveness requires careful planning.• Link the Web lessons with the face-to-face meetings.The number of blended courses in engineering education will continue to increase. Faculty andstudents will demand more blended modalities as the benefits to teaching and learning areexplored. Blended courses can offer student satisfaction and cost savings. The blended classroomcan be the best of both worlds!References1. Moore, J. C., “The Sloan Consortium Quality Framework and the Five Pillars. On Access.

) Page 12.416.11Student Interaction During the implementation and continuation phases, students would have direct access tothree human resources; the Learning Manager, the Content Integrator, and their assignedAcademic Advisor. Though the Learning Manager would not be the primary contact s/he wouldbe available to make major decisions required to promote student success within the course. TheContent Integrator would be the student’s direct point of contact. Students concerned with coursematerials, concept chunks or assignments would contact the Content Integrator. The AcademicAdvisor would serve as a liaison for all concerned and communicate with the Learning Managerabout student concerns and curriculum improvement recommendations

courses. I will provide more handouts and stressmore on this aspect in IE 417 in the future.7- ConclusionThere are many extraneous obstacles in teaching OR courses. These include both the timelimitation on covering various important topics as well as the inadequate mathematicsbackground of many students. It is important to efficiently use the resources available to teachOR concepts and improve analytical and communication skills. This is best achieved throughreport writing. “Report to a Manager” is used as a tool to enhance learning important ORconcepts as well as encouraging students to critically think about the solution outputs from ORsoftwares. This implemented pedagogy has proved to be effective.Bibliography[1] Parisay, S., "Multimedia and

the selection process is made by the students.Like we saw in our results, the students’ motivators tend to change throughout the years, thismainly because of how they get to know their field, through enrolling specialized courses in theirmayor, and levels of maturity. All of these factors can and will be tabulated to get a betterunderstanding of how the students tend to think, when it comes to selecting a mayor.V. References 1. Kierkegaard, S. (1962).
