disadvantage of this approach is that it does not facilitate early remediation ofperformance failures because necessary outcomes information related to deficient teaching andlearning mechanisms is measured only for mastery level courses. A holistic approach forcontinuous quality improvement in academic learning would require a systematic measurement ofperformance indicators in all three domains and their corresponding categories of learning levelsfor all course levels in a given program’s curriculum.In this research, we present an innovative methodology for engineering program evaluationutilizing significant customization implemented in a web-based software, EvalTools® 6.

Whensolving complex problems, CT helps with understanding complex phenomenon throughcombining the critical thinking skills and the fundamental concepts of computer science likeabstraction, decomposition and algorithm [7], [9], [11]. Therefore, engaging students in CTthrough the context of engineering education can promote problem-solving skills, and may helpstudents find innovative solutions and make good decisions [7].Wing [11] argues that CT is a core ability for reading, writing and math and should be added toanalytical ability of children.

Byformalizing examination of course content, these redundancies and gaps have been identified.Doing so has typically led to “recovered time” each semester for instructors as they no longerspend time on redundant material, and they also know with confidence that they are not teachingpast students’ preparation.An emerging set of tools is being developed in this effort. Readiness quizzes (i.e., taken at thestart of a semester to gauge pre-requisite knowledge) have been written for many topics withinthe learning management system used on campus, and theses quizzes and individual questionsare shared among faculty. Corresponding to the quiz topics are refresher resources
traditional lab courses describefollowing clearly-articulated procedures to replicate a foundational concept with little room fordeviation. On the other hand, students who experience contemporary teaching describe practicesassociated with recent transformation in engineering education (see, for example, the practicesdelineated by [30], [31]), characterized by hands-on learning and discussion-based activities inwhich students are assessed through assignments and quizzes that require students to collaborateand/or demonstrate conceptual rather than simply rote procedural knowledge. In contemporaryapproaches to labs, students describe applying tools and concepts learned in the classroom inways that encourage innovative problem-solving and procedure

The focus of this paper is to investigate such personalized learning andengagement within a cyberlearning system developed in the context of environmental monitoringto promote technology-enhanced laboratory instruction.Cyberlearning systems are an innovative learning technology using networked computing alongwith communication technology to support teaching and learning [6], [7]. Diverse studentpopulation can access its learning resources regardless of their proximity to traditional classroomspaces. It also offers the affordance to develop personalized learning spaces where learners canbe uniquely identified and their progress can be digitally traced [8].

the vehicle. These requirements revolve mostly aroundsafety and innovation. Other than these requirements, the design of the vehicle also depends onmanufacturing and budget constraints. As mentioned before, the chassis of the vehicle should bestiff but also light weight for better handling characteristics thus an optimal value of stiffness isrequired that does not cause increase in weight. The design of the chassis of V59 is based on itssuspension. The points where the suspension mounts to the chassis cannot be changed. Thesewere the considerations that students had to keep in mind while carrying out the optimization ofthe chassis. The optimizations were evaluated by determining the torsional rigidity of the chassisat each iteration.The model
