It has been pointed out that in the current engineering classroom, students areoften taught using abstract symbolic and mathematical formulas “without a context, without anopportunity to interact with the course material or apply it through practice” [1].Most engineering courses are designed to teach students real-world problem solving, but most oftoday’s undergraduates lack real world experience and find it difficult to construct the "mental models ofthe course materials” [1]. Hence one of the challenges facing educators is to
outcomes. Further, faculty teaching such courses willnaturally gather data relating to student performance on these course objectives.Therefore, it is logical to propose that this data be used independently of the classroomgrading for the purpose of program outcome assessment.Based on available literature, relatively few schools appear to be using student work in aformal way to assess program outcomes. This may be due to a variety of reasons,including legitimate questions that have been raised in the assessment literature regardingthe validity of using transcript data to assess program outcomes. However, by not usinggraded course work, it is possible that a large quantity of potentially valuable assessmentdata that is routinely gathered by faculty

become “mutually dependent” so that advancement is done as acohesive unit with each member making contributions to the group (shared responsibility). Learning communities have some key parts of the successful Treisman’s Model.10 In theearly 1980’s Uri Treisman created programs that enlisted African-American students to excel inmathematics rather than a program created solely to help them evade failure. Like LCs,Treisman’s emphasis is on collaborative learning among the students through the use of “smallgroup teaching methods.” Students are not just expected to be remediated, but expectations areraised based on what Treiman observed to be the strength of some groups of students on hiscampus: their ability to merge academic and social lives
