Abstract

Assessment of student learning is an indispensable factor in determining whether students meet the desired standards of course content. This research focuses on researching the comparison of ABET learning outcomes in a lecture-based classroom course, which applies a traditional textbook, versus a mix of lecture-based and problem-based classroom course, which uses a textbook with more applicable case studies for the applied statistics course in Industrial engineering. The required data is gathered by faculty based on applied assessment tools such as project presentation and report, individual assignments, group assignments, in-class activities, and exams. This study was conducted across four semesters for the same course. The key findings from the study demonstrate that the integration of the applied case studies with a mix of lecture-based and problem-based teaching techniques improved the students’ learning outcomes.
