This paper presents a model Web-Based course On“Introduction To Computers” offered to freshmen of the college of Engineering at the ArabAcademy for Science & Technology and Maritime Transport (AAST). The model coversboth the course material and student evaluation through exercises and quizzes.Different tools such as Perl, JavaScript, Cookies, and HTML are utilized to implement themodel in order to make use of the best features of each one for the optimal implementation ofthe model.

on the attainment of the two sub outcomes and it can beseen that all the sections have met the threshold of 75% of students achieving Meets and AboveExpectations. Delving further into the data, the percentage of students achieving Meets and AboveExpectation is almost similar for both the sub outcomes. This implies that students were not onlyable to acquire knowledge but also apply it.Conclusions The paper presented the assessment of ABET student outcome 7 in micro and nanomanufacturing, an upper-level and graduate cross listed mechanical engineering course. Studentwork on weekly discussion board, midterm project, and emerging technology presentation wasassessed using a rubric and mapped to ABET 7 sub outcomes. The assessment data shows

say they know how to solve the equations and it is just that they have trouble with“word problems.” The problem is, of course, that in engineering, virtually all problems are wordproblems. Because of the advent of inexpensive, powerful computers to crunch numbers, it isnow very important that people be able to correctly interpret and express technical information.However, empirical evidence shows that students’ ability in this area has declined, rather thanimproved. This paper describes some specific issues in math literacy and the use of technology toaddress them. Examples are drawn from a junior-level data analysis course having a largefraction of international students. However, these issues are common in most engineeringcourses and occur

Completion of this project is arequirement for graduation, and students usually take the capstone design course in their senioryear. Because this course is within the Engineering and Computer Science curriculum of thecollege, however, many of the topics that the students are required to learn are well outside oftheir typical course requirements.
