Integrated Electrical Engineering and Data Acquisition (DAQ)courses.1. Vertically integrated design project courses (VIDP). Our ME program traditionally has astrong senior design course sequence where seniors work for an entire academic year in teams onreal projects sponsored and mentored by industry. Real industry design experience, however,was missing in the first three years of the program. Hence, a separate design course sequence,where first-, second-, and third-year students come together each spring to work on designprojects mentored by practicing engineers, was added to the

Here, the main focus will be on updating futurePD training to provide more examples of curriculum which integrates the 3 focal areas(entrepreneurial mindset, bio-inspired design, and STEAM) with a greater variety of artsexamples.From a practical perspective, the authors encourage PD facilitators and/or curriculum designersto implement a similar qualitative-based “exit ticket” (i.e., assessment) which incorporates bothopen-ended questions and photovoice in an effort to gain deeper and richer insights fromparticipants.To learn more and apply to this professional development opportunity

The program focuses primarily on the California practice of structural engineering, that emphasizes seismic design. As an architectural engineering program the curriculum goes beyond traditional structures programs to give students an understanding of architecture and construction management as it relates to a total project design.

implementation of ECE Discovery Studio was driven by two compoundingmotivations to address student needs. First, while the adoption of a threaded curriculum modelaffords students incredible flexibility in designing their own undergraduate degree program, theSchool needed to also provide students with a foundation to navigate the curriculum given itsmyriad choices. Furthermore, this foundational knowledge must extend beyond traditionalacademic planning. Students need to explore the broader field of electrical and computerengineering with respect to the “big ideas” in the discipline, relevant career options, and areas ofresearch to build an understanding of the fields of electrical and computer engineering in the realworld.Additionally, the School of
