TheBachelor of Science in Computer Science program was one of the first Bachelor of Scienceprograms implemented at UVU in 1993. The program’s goal has been to provide a qualityprogram that meets accreditation standards while providing the students with a skill set thatallows them to succeed in computing careers. The Computer Science degree at UVU isaccredited by Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in 2002 andcurrently has more than 1200 students.Computer Engineering Program’s Senior Design Project CourseOur Senior Design Project

Changes of major early on in a student’s career can have little to noimpact on time to graduation if the majors involve have similar early requirements; forexample, the first two to three semesters for majors in the School of Engineering and ComputerScience all include “Introduction to the School, Major” classes, Calculus, Physics, Programming,Linear Algebra. Calculus and Physics are common to all ECS majors; while the “Introduction tothe Major”, Programming, and Linear Algebra classes differ, the policy is to accept thecompleted version as a replacement for the requirements in the new major due

In order toaccomplish this, we will leverage Engineering 110, an existing elective course that currentlyserves around 300 students per year (approximately 20% of first-year engineeringstudents). Engineering 110 provides students the opportunity to explore the breadth ofeducational and career opportunities available to engineers.Engineering 110 is engaged in a multiyear redesign process through a University-wide effort totransform high-impact, large-enrollment introductory courses at U-M.

[6][7], concluded that currentengineering education programs put minimal emphasis on professional skills and that givingthese skills a greater focus would be helpful to prepare students for future careers. This, in turn,would make the engineering field more accessible to students. Another study by Holloway et al.evaluated a few KSA (knowledge, skill, and ability) frameworks and reported that theframeworks compared had similar expectations for student outcomes, problem-solving,communication, and teamwork. Given how the ABET framework can put minimal emphasis onprofessional skills, other frameworks could have similar problems. [8

They also stressed the importance of practiceand reflection in the learning process. Freeman et al. compared studies focused on undergraduatestudents in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) that used active learningtechniques and those that used traditional approaches [5].

One area of interest to policymakers and industry leaders is elementary and middle gradeseducation, where initial aspirations to a STEM career take root through encounters with mathand science that can predict later achievement within these fields. Spatial intelligence, or theability to make spatial judgments and visualize, has been shown to be a strong indicator ofmiddle school students’ future achievement in STEM related courses [3-5].
