Abstract

In modern computing and engineering programs, new course materials need to be added regularly in a flexible manner. The concept of course modules has been suggested as one approach to doing this; a course module, which is a self-contained unit of curriculum such as a lab or teaching component, can be included into existing courses without requiring substantial course or program modifications. In this paper, the authors describe their experiences in incorporating new curricula into computer science and engineering curricula at their three institutions. The relatively new paradigm of Service-Oriented Programming (SOP) was introduced into their programs using course modules. This paper describes the design and development of these SOP course modules, their implementation in their three institutions, assessment and evaluation of the implementation, and early lessons about the incorporation of new coursework into computing and engineering curricula.
