programs have been challenged with adaptingtheir curricula to the rapid developments in technology without increasing the number of credithours for their programs. Resulting from the demands made from students, employers, and therapid advancement of technology has been a tendency to develop more specialized curricula thatcontain fewer common courses among the engineering disciplines. Specialized courses havebeen added to the curriculum at the expense of an incomplete foundation of mathematics, Page 24.306.2science, and engineering principles3. In order to have professionals that can respond successfullyto the contexts of global economy and knowledge

Technology)requirements for providing students with a significant hands-on design experience8. Our seniordesign course is structured as a collection of open-ended independent student projects which aremutually selected by the faculty supervisor and student. It is shown that this type of student-driven, open-ended project requires a great deal of instructor’s flexibility, deep familiarity withavailable components, and ready suggestions for potential projects. However, for instructorswho are willing to take on the effort, a student-driven design project can provide significantexperience for students in problem specification and engineering design. The typical designprocess experience includes problem definition and constraints, gathering information

WSNs have emerged as aneffective solution applied to a wide array of problems. The increasing popularity of WSN hasmotivated computer engineering programs to provide students with a foundation in the area. Inorder to integrate wireless sensor networks concepts into our computer engineering curriculum,we have decided to integrate wireless sensor concepts in our Embedded Systems Design IIcourse. A requirement for this course is to write a research paper on the topic of Wireless SensorNetworks. As a result of this assignment, many students have started to do their senior designproject on this subject. This paper

Computer Science and Engineering CurriculumAbstractThe area of Mobile Computing has been growing tremendously in recent years. A major aspectof this growth has been the addition of networking technologies, operating systems, and databasemanagement systems to mobile devices. Today, mobile devices might be one of the mostpervasive pieces of electronic equipment in our society. A recent study has estimated the totalnumber of subscribers of mobile phones in the world to be three billion. As the use of mobiledevices within society is quickly expanding, mobile learning (m-learning) has emerged as apotential educational environment to support learning. Mobile devices can be integrated intoclassroom teaching to promote
