), where they arereferred to as options instead of concentrations (as may be more conventional). Theseoptions are available in both the Mechanical and the Electrical Engineering degreeprograms, and some of the component courses are also open as free electives forComputer Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering Technology students as well.Below, a brief overview is provided of how each of these options have been structured andhow they fit into the respective degree programs, content of the component courses, andsome of the pedagogical approaches undertaken to achieve the goals of the options.4.1 ME Curriculum ExampleA Vehicle Systems Option was established within the Mechanical Engineering Program atLSSU beginning in the Fall 2007 semester
