program; two digital courses were combined and the content of this newly formedcourse was revamped to focus more in design aspect of the course. This action will address theweakness observed in the outcome D of the course which is related to design and application.Furthermore, two new courses were developed which are “Introduction Project Management”and “Ethics and Engineering Professionalism”. These courses have been approved by thedifferent committee within the University as well as the Texas Higher Coordinating Board.Currently, we have included these newly developed courses into both Computer and ElectronicsEngineering Technology programs. The covered materials in these courses are as follows:Introduction to Project Management: The course aims
