This enabled eachprogram to develop or re-define its mission statement, to develop outcomes based course syllabi,and to map the outcomes to program educational objectives. Additionally, this led to an ABETEC 2000 Mock Visit. The objectives of the Mock Visit were to visit the laboratory facilities,conduct interviews with faculty and students, evaluate the first draft of the individual EC 2000self-study reports, and to offer candid comments and recommendations to incorporate assessmentand continuous quality improvements within the programs. The results from the Mock Visit werean eye-opener for many of faculty and provided the vital external

specialization. An ideal scenario would be to have 4 introductory courses in year 1 that covers all the courses indicated in Level 1. ≠ Year 2: Emphasis in year 2 is more on design. Courses that can foster this capability in the students are considered, as can be seen in the some mentioned courses at level L2 under each category. Additionally, one suggestion is if only 2 courses were offered in year 1 then courses from the other two categories should be offered from level 1. To realize the objective of design, laboratory courses can be considered which provides the necessary exposure to students to the relevant tools and methodology. ≠ Year 3: Learning objective in year 3 is on equipping the

In teaching software-defined radio, it would be interesting to test receivers with realRF signals instead of simulated ones.There are advantages in having the students work with real signals in laboratory courses[1,2,3].But for those students without access to the expensive test equipment or the time to set up theexperiments, a database may be the only way to get access to a wide

of required software does not tell the whole story for computer engineering. Acomputer engineering degree is not an electrical engineering degree with a minor in computerscience. There are differences in the hardware courses and the courses that mix hardware andsoftware between electrical and computer engineering. Likewise, many programs teachhardware and software to computer engineering students by way of laboratory projects andexperiments. We have made no attempt to distinguish computer engineering courses in this areaand we leave this to future studies.References1. http://www.abet.org/ABET2.

for future engineers are their self-belief and resolve to utilize the skills they learn during courses, laboratories, and projects throughthe curriculum. An important element of measuring effectiveness of engineering education,therefore, is to assess the impact of content delivery methodologies on the resolve and self-beliefof the students as they progress through various courses during the curriculum [7].A very important subject in undergraduate engineering curriculum is engineering modeling anddesign.
