published online curriculum as well as catalog descriptions ofthe courses. Most of our analysis comes from that data. In several cases where the softwarecontent of a course was not clear from a catalog, we contacted the department chair by email orphone.We compared our results with the data from the version of the Curriculum Guidelines forUndergraduate Degree Programs in Computer Engineering published by the Joint Task Group onComputer Engineering Curricula Version 2015 October 3.We provide a summary statement but we make no recommendations. We believe thisinformation will be useful to anyone developing a new computer engineering program or to thosewho are in the process of curricular revision.IntroductionThe ABET website currently lists 250

and to gobeyond scores on an exam or homework assignment. Adams et al. utilized Schon’s reflectivepractitioner theory as a lens to understand and measure reflective practitioner behavior inengineering students engaged in design activities.1,16 Chen proposed using online tools such asWikis and Weblogs and a technique called Folio Thinking, to support reflective learning in anintroductory engineering design course.17 Folio Thinking is a pedagogical approach wherestudents create learning portfolios, with the end goal being to enhance students’ self-awarenessof their knowledge by making it explicit and visible for themselves as well as for others. Turns etal. specifically focus on reflection on experience as an intentional thinking process.1 They

organized fairly consistently across departments. Faculty memberstake on one or more teams and supervise them through a year-long experience to projectcompletion. The projects, spread across two semesters, earn the students 4 credits and arerequired to involve construction of a novel device/system which meets appropriate engineeringstandards and multiple realistic constraints. Over the course of the academic year, students honetheir skills through team meetings, brainstorming sessions, designing, simulating, fabricating andassembling their concepts as well as reviewing, researching and validating their designs. Projectsin the Electrical and Computer Engineering department are organized along broad categoriesincluding Computer Engineering (Advanced
