progression using the engineering design cycleABET Student Outcome ComparisonAt the beginning of this work, learning outcomes from the first-year Cornerstone and senior Capstonecourses were compared to find which ABET outcomes they shared in common to link the first-year andsenior year design experiences. ABET Student Outcomes 2, 4, 5 and 6 were identified in the best linkingcourse outcomes as indicated in Table 2. ABET Student Outcomes was determined as the optimalmeasurement tool because of its reputation and universal measurability across universities. Research[1, 2, 3] has shown ABET criteria as having a positive impact on programs and graduates who have theprescribed design skills, ability to work in teams, and communicate effectively [4

In order to better understand these variablesand explain how they can impact the fluid art that is generated, background research wasconducted for the techniques. The goal of these efforts was not an attempt to make a science ofthe artistic process, but rather to understand cause and effect relationships whose understandingcould serve as a starting point for somebody new to a painting technique. This research was thenused to create short videos for students interested in pursuing a given technique.

Another view of thissituation is that instructors should not always directly answer a student’s question but shouldencourage the student to explore for the answer on their own. This practice leads the student tobecome a more independent learner and that will serve her or him well in the future. Indeed, thatis a skill that employers seek.Availability of Instructional Materials: This is a real issue because most text material availabletoday is designed to support lecture-based courses.
