. 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
