| Summary: | Changes brought upon by circumstances pushed the government to shift education into a more online-based setting in order to continue the education of the learners without sacrificing quality education. The usage of information technology infrastructure, or in other words, the utilization of technology applications, mobile phones, desktops, or laptops, was seen drastically throughout the past two years. Research suggest that the usage of CAD, CAE, CAM, Pro/Engineer, AutoCad, Manufacturing and design software, and 3D Modeling bridges the gap to help engineering students master the demanded rich scientific and theoretical knowledge in the higher educational system. Besides, the current curriculum also uses these IT infrastructures to train the students to grasp the strong theoretical basis of a concept as well as possess a certain practical and spatial ability for them to comprehensively perform engineering skills and practices. This study aimed to examine the impact of using information technology infrastructure on the practical and spatial skills of learners. A survey of 273 Engineering students who are currently undergoing online classes from the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos was conducted. When grouped according to sex, there is no significant disparity in terms of skill between the groups that is affected by the use of information technology infrastructures. However, when grouped according to their specialization, there is a difference. Therefore, the researchers propose a Modernized Education Implementation and Development Program, which will tackle the integration of technology in the engineering’s curriculum together with assessment and discussion on the concern related to computer-aided learning. |
