certifications such as ORACLE can also beincluded into the IS elective courses. The goal is for the curriculum to provide an avenue forstudents to take the certification exam after completing the course series leading to thatcertificate. This research will help faculty design their courses to integrate certain certificates. Itwill also help students choose their courses in order to acquire certificates.1. IntroductionInformation Systems (IS) programs are accredited by oversight bodies that determine if theprogram provides adequate education. This assures that, as long as professionals graduate fromaccredited programs, they will start their professional lives with the knowledge they need toperform effectively.

For both NU and ONU programs, the largest standard deviationswere found in necessity of redesign (1 & 2 in standard deviation) and in reflection/iteration (2 &1 in standard deviation). The high variability indicates that individual students have varyingopinions on the degree to which each of these principles is effectively illustrated in the toweractivity.

We also provided remote access to an Internet connected mobile robot (seeFigure 1) that was managed by another program we developed specifically for this class. Bothpieces of software were written in Java, incorporate identical APIs, and employ very similargeneral interfaces. Students were expected to design their code using the simulator, and then testand tune their programs on the real robot.

A high alpha value (closer to 1) indicates highintercorrelation, while a low value (closer to 0) indicates low intercorrelation. Generally, analpha value greater that 0.6 indicates that combining the measures is acceptable.9 As Table 2shows, the “Quality” and “Overall” metric have acceptable coefficients of 0.78 and 0.70respectively.
