Because of USMA’s commitment to the development ofcognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills with information technology, there has been acontinuous study on the numerous and unique challenges associated with integrating suchtechnologies into their courses and programs. An initial report provided a synopsis of effortsover the initial three semester’s time (2007-2008) and this paper will report on the follow-onstudy. Further assessment, new approaches, and a comparison of methods will be discussed allusing the same framework of three student development domains: cognitive, affective, andpsychomotor. In so doing this new study will serve as a follow-up discussion on how the CivilEngineering Program at USMA continues to meet these challenges and

BME program has instituted a common assessment rubric for each ABET outcome. Thesame rubric is used by each professor to assess the corresponding outcome that is pertinent tohis/her course.The rubrics have a different number of performance indicators (or dimensions) to have acomprehensive tool that describes multiple facets of the outcome to be assessed. Theperformance indicators of each rubric were adapted3-4 and re-built in view of the performanceindicators of each engineering course in the program. The large amount of indicators at thecourses level was dramatically reduced by synthesizing a set of outcome-specific commonrubrics that all faculties now use. Rubrics are reviewed each semester as part of the evaluationprocess after assessment

Single-factor ANOVAshowed a significant difference in the mean scores (F (1, 42) = 0.949, p = .336), with thesimulation intervention group showing a higher mean score (M = 81.82, SD = 17.26) than thehands-on control group (M = 76.95, SD = 15.39). The results of the ANOVA are shown in Table7. The strength of the effect was large (2 = .02), which suggests that a small association wasevident between the instruction method and the midterm score at the sample level.
