Inreformulating the fundamental criteria for engineering accreditation in terms of studentoutcomes, the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) replaced sets ofcourses passed with sets of learning outcomes achieved and assessed. In other words, programsseeking ABET accreditation must now demonstrate that their graduating students can function asbeginning professionals in eleven different areas of performance—not just pass courses. At leastfour of these new performance outcomes in Engineering Criteria (EC) 2000, Criterion 3,Program Outcomes and Assessment, can be achieved through civic service learning: 1. an

Fields, especially in the sciencesand engineering, are growing and maturing fed by improved tools for communication andresearch. The ever changing landscape of technology within and outside of the classroom and itsimpact on student culture makes the challenge of discovery a dynamic one. However, discoveryalone may not be the greatest challenge. Finding an effective new pedagogy with a proven recordof advances in student efficacy and efficiency while challenging may be easier than establishingwidespread adoption of such methods in academia.The resistance to a change in pedagogy is both institutional and

The survey results reflected the growth of students’ computer knowledge andthe acceptance of new technology application to today’s classes.It is believed that with continuously improving instructional videos, assessment methods, use ofup-to-date technology, hybrid design in the course will be accepted by more students, andprovide a more effective way of self-learning and interactive laboratory practice experience ascompared to traditional classroom style.References[1] A.

As described in Bransford et al.[6] seminal work “How people learn: Brain, mind, experience and school” the design of effectivelearning environments requires the “rethinking of what is taught, how it is taught, and how it isassessed.” In this regard, the following skills were targeted
