twoproblematic ideologies at work in engineering education: an over-reliance on Outcomes-BasedEducation (OBE) and an emphasis on “evidence-based” research and practice, where “evidence”is narrowly defined following the medical model of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), nearlyimpossible to execute validly in educational settings. The changes remove or weakenrequirements for educational breadth, including global and social context, engineering ethics, andlifelong learning.One of the stated rationales for these changes is that some outcomes are difficult to assess. To thecontrary, the engineering education community has invested a great deal of time and effortinnovating assessment methods to create increasingly valid, concise, and easy to implement

Project-based learning (PBL) is a part of a pedagogical practice thatinvolves a wide range of engineering requirements methods. However, this learning method hasnot been holistically implemented [2]. To help with this issue, ABET, in its most recent guidanceis pushing for more PBL which research has shown as key and most prevailing attribute amongsuccessful graduate engineers within the industry [1]. The prevalent method for teaching inengineering disciplines is the “Chalk and Talk” approach. The instructor will lecture and thestudent will be a passive learner, not a student centered method [1].

This produced unique quizzes for each student and reduced the impact of cheating(note: the topic of cheating is discussed in the "Conclusions and Recommendations" section at theend). Each quiz covered approximately two chapters of material from the book. Students wereallowed to drop their lowest quiz.Each quiz was preceded with a "practice" quiz option. The practice quizzes are important becausethe students need to get familiar with the quiz tool in WebCT and prepare for the types ofcalculations that will be thrown at them on the quiz.

Data and Data Science require new IT graduates to demonstrate theirmastery in data acquisition, data management, and data inference skills when they enter theworkforce (Mithun & Luo, 2020). Thus, introductory programming courses such as databaseprogramming and design represent crucial milestones in IT education, as they reflect students'ability to solve problems and design appropriate solutions (Skala & Drilk, 2018). But, for noviceprogrammers learning SQL programming and logical database design concepts is a challengingtask because while writing SQL programs, students not only have to apply theoretical conceptssuch as syntax and semantics but also practical concepts such as problem-solving at the same time,which results in cognitive
