This paper presents an enhanced strategy to incorporate computer applications in a non-IT course, called Computer Immersion Strategy (CIS). Previous attempts to fully incorporate current technology in accounting courses highlighted the failure of those strategies to enable or motivate students to master analytical problem-solving skills. In response to this crucial shortcoming, CIS was developed for use in a numerically technical but non-IT course - cost accounting. The CIS strategy marries seven pedagogical and computer-use techniques to develop student analytical problem-solving: 1) sequencing of problem-solving techniques versus concepts, 2) increased complexity of problems solved by students, 3) in-class computer problems solved by students, 4) more convenient access to necessary course files, 5) interactive in-class assignments on the computer 6) course projects requiring the use of the computer, and 7) multi-media lectures made available through the course files.
