This paper describes the development and implementation of an outcomes assessment plan used to gauge how successfully professional technologies have been integrated into an undergraduate AIS course. The plan attempted to determine the impact that the increased use of accounting-related software and databases had on students' attitudes. To measure how successfully the technologies had been integrated into the AIS curriculum, the authors measured changes in students' self-efficacy. Pretest and posttest questionnaires were based on the Self-Efficacy for Computer Technologies instrument (SCT) developed by Kinsie, Delcourt, and Powers (1994). The SCT measures confidence in using a number of applications. This project was intended to demonstrate that one way to improve students' self-efficacy with respect to computer applications was to treat computer and professional software as routine. Direct evidence of improvements in appropriate skills may be attributed to the AIS course and provides a measure of outcomes assessment.
