Engineering (MSOE) began a thorough reviewof its BME curriculum. The curriculum had been relatively stable for about 12 years with smallchanges made to keep the curriculum current with changes in technology. To meet the need forcontinuous improvement, the faculty undertook a redesign of the entire curriculum in an effort toincorporate new educational techniques and modern engineering concepts. Because of the time ittakes to complete a complete curricular change, as well as the time between these large changes,the faculty spent considerable time ensuring the curriculum effectively and efficiently metcurrent and perceived future needs of the program and its constituents. Most of the current andperceived future needs were determined from the Engineer of
