Program outcomes provideexpectations for the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) that students should possess bycompletion of their undergraduate program. Proficiency in these KSA is vital to future successfor graduating students [4]. The ABET Criterion 3 (a-k) Student Learning

This means that a lab session must be reserved for students to perform part testing. • Once the students determine the type of material, they need to defend their decision with sound engineering logic and with the results of their testing. Their testing results are to be compared and matched to material data from matweb.com. Students were also graded on their ability to organize their data. • Students were to describe the type of failure the part underwent: impact, tensile, fatigue, compression, shear, creep, or vibration. Also, students were to determine whether the part suffered a brittle

The term “design” is used because problem solutions typically require thecreation or modification of artifacts or procedures used by humans in dealing with the physicalenvironment.One common method in engineering design courses is Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach.PBL is a teaching method in which complex real-world problems can promote student learningof concepts and principles as opposed to direct presentation of facts and concepts. In addition tocourse content, PBL can promote the development of critical thinking skills, problem-solvingabilities, and communication skills.

curriculums are fundamentally designed to build upon skills gained from previouscourses. Student success in those courses basically depends on their academic fortitude, selfconfidence, and effective teaching. This approach will concentrate on the latter by suggesting anapproach that deliberately integrates IT into the classroom which negates impacts that stiflesstudent learning.We propose a four step IT integration framework as a guide for all IT into course work. Thisapproach provides not only a deterministic model for adding technology to courses but alsoincludes an assessment vehicle that measures the effect of technology on students’ confidenceand their grades. We will use a required IT course, IT305 – Theory and Practice of IT Systems,as an
