While the same set of problems is assigned to all students, thenumbers in each problem are algorithmically assigned (different) to encourage students to workon their own problems, although peer interaction is allowed and indeed encouraged.Hands-on laboratory activities with physical

Traditional engineering curriculum typicallyattempt to blend theoretical knowledge, following the disciplines of mathematics and thesciences, with practical skills. Mechanical engineers, for example, might take courses inmathematics, physics and design supplemented with laboratory experiences teachingprogramming, machining, and Computer-Aided Design (CAD). The results of these curricula areengineers with a broad understanding of many subjects, with some applied skill sets. However,the number and complexity of courses required for successful establishment in industry makesengineering programs the longest programs in universities (as measured by credit hour).

In the former situation, many educational institutions can afford lab equipment such as electroniccomponents and large laboratory workplaces. However, there are instances where purchasing expensive equipment for learningis not a viable option. In the latter case, learning about the geological features of a place such

Intercity campuses face very different challenges when it comes toexpansion compared to rural campuses, and the low frequency of 1’s in the responses suggestthere might not be straightforward strategies to overcoming this obstacle.Of the 19 statements that were rated with a score of 4 or 5 with a frequency of 29% or greater,statement 48, which deals with independent access to laboratories by students, is the only onewhere no one responded with a 5. These results suggest that while independent access forstudents is a concern, it is not one of the most pressing concerns for new programs.

Research suggests thatABET outcomes be taught through traditional lecture courses, laboratory courses, and project-based learning such as capstone and cornerstone projects [4]. Some ABET outcomes, forexample 3,4, 5, and 7 (as denoted in Table 1), can be perceived as less technical, focusing onabilities such as communicating “effectively with a range of audiences”, functioning “effectivelyon a team”, and recognizing “ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situationsand [making] informed judgements” [1].
