were also indicated to the statement of: “Ilearn best from lecture.” “I like this class and would want it in additional classes.” (-0.83)* “I find this class format to provide a deeper level of learning.” (-0.69)* The researcher’s evaluation in this area is that the students are being taken out of theircomfort zone and are required to change learning interventions in order to survive. Thesestudents were identifiable and it was noted that their average class grade was B+. They werelearning the material, but they did not like the process. The two statements above (*) had an interesting and strong correlation (0.85). Manystudents liked this class format and found that it provided a deeper level of learning. At

Minima, and U for Unsatisfactory. However, in either cycle ofprocesses, there were no refined performance indicators (PI) defined for each SO. In order toprepare for the next cycle of accreditation and to better refine our assessment of the programeffectiveness, it is necessary to include performance indicators (PIs) for each SO. This would letus with the identification of areas for improvement. However, we rapidly realize that if, forexample, a set of three PIs are defined for each SO, the evaluation effort will be at least threetimes more time consuming. In addition, there are some significant challenges such as (a) how toassess and augment the PIs into the existing process (b) making the PIs acceptable to both, thefaculty within the

suggested the possibility of three higher order factors: (a) Logical thinking skills (e.g., develop a statistical model of an engineering process, analyze data with a modeling and simulation software); (b) Communication skills (e.g., effectively communicate and document to wider audience progress through the engineering design process ); and (c) Problem Solving skills (e.g., work well with hands, think practically to find a solution to an engineering problem). As an example of a Likert-scale question about students’ self-efficacy regarding their problem- solving skills, students were asked the following question: I can transform an analytical model into a working code to run on simulation software
