The assessment plan, its findings and recommendationsare documented and reported annually in a Program Annual Review (PAR). The PAR reports areentered and archived in a web assessable central system known as AMS (Task streamAccountability Management System). In 2008, National University acquired the AMS system tosupport the assessment process. AMS provides a mechanism for tracking recommendations,action plans, and results from year to year. The Curriculum Map, Multiyear Assessment Plan, aswell as all assessment findings and recommendations are archived in the AMS system. The PARreport is reviewed by the Chair and

This gives the students advantages in preparation for future softwareengineering courses while still getting solid CS1 knowledge. We understand that adding software engineering to CS1 is not a new idea, which has beenproposed since 90’s [3] [4] [5]. The goal of this paper is to take measurement of impact ofintroducing various software engineering concepts to help faculty decide what should be addedunder the tight schedule of the course. After this case study, we are quite convinced that IDE andbasic testing concept should be included in CS1. The rest of the paper is organized as follows.Section 2 describes how IDE was
