effectiveness by traditional definitions. Second, the approachwill need to fit into the complex schedules and contexts of educators since simply spending timelearning about teaching may not be possible. For example, given that engineering educators (andfuture educators in the form of graduate students) are busy, approaches may need to help themsolve actual problems they are encountering or be aligned with other requirements that theeducators must meet (e.g., preparing materials for annual merit review or tenure review, getting ajob). Such a framing suggests two questions that can be asked for any approach to helpeducators become better educators: a) to what extent does the approach lead to learning ofknowledge and skills related to teaching and b) what

of curriculum design and teaching that focuses on what studentscan actually do after they are taught. OBE focuses on these key questions as to:a) What should the students learn?b) What is the motivation for the students to learn it?c) How can the academic institution and its resources help students learn it?d) How will it be determined what the students have learned (assessment)?Thus, the OBE’s instructional planning process is a reverse of that associated withtraditional educational planning. The desired outcome is determined first and thecurriculum, instructional materials and assessments are designed around to support andfacilitate the intended outcome[3, 4]. All curriculum and teaching decisions are made basedon how best to facilitate

Thus while students did an admirablejob on the economic analysis techniques (including gathering appropriate data, identifyingalternatives, developing potential outcomes and differences in cash flows, applying presentworth analysis, rate of return, or B/C ratios, and making a decision), they did not do a good jobwhen it came to considering the non-economic impacts of their decisions. Such issues as publicconcern over privacy (in the RFID case) and poor public relations for a company as a result ofjob

The goals were to 1) increase student retention and success in freshman andsophomore-level mathematics courses (such as calculus, which all engineering majors take), and2) increase the willingness of students to utilize the available tutorial services. Note that “studentsuccess” is defined as “making an “A”, “B” or “C” in the course” (since all engineering andscience majors are required to earn a grade of “C” or higher in all math courses which areprerequisites for other courses).ALEKS is a web-based system (versus software-based) that can be accessed from any computerwith web access and a java-enabled web browser.
