ITUE endorses the following principles:

Undergraduate courses should help students

  • think critically and enhance their ability to analyze and solve real world problems.
  • develop skill in gathering and evaluating information needed for solving problems.
  • gain experience working cooperatively in teams and small groups.
  • acquire versatile and effective communication skills.

Undergraduate courses should

  • be student centered.
  • encourage students to "learn to learn".
  • apply technology effectively where it will enhance learning.
  • provide opportunities for a variety of learning experiences.
