0.665 Factor 2 (projects and case studies) 2 0.676The data analysis sorted the 11 ABET outcome items into two groups. It was found that items 1 Page 25.1339.6through 5, 7, and 11 were grouped together into factor 1, and items 6 and 8 through 10 weresorted together into factor 2. On reflection, the authors decided to term these factors “technicaldevelopment” and “professional development.”The outcomes grouped under technical development mostly refer to the “number crunching”skills in engineering, specifically outcomes 1 through 3, 5, and 11. The other two, items 4 and 7,can be thought of as soft skills that

progresses, the fact those online students have less interaction with the instructor is reflected Page 25.1396.15 by the increase in their time spent on the exercises and their perceived difficulty levels.3. When the difficulty level (NDI) of the lab exercise is high, as seen in Lab 6 (NMR), on- campus students may learn slightly better than the on-line students. Lab 6 is generally considered by students as much more difficult than other labs. Students' behavior in this lab is worth careful study.4. Lab 7 has relatively low NDIs and high PPIs across all semesters. This may have an interesting implication, i.e. students tend to learn
