in Electrical and ComputerEngineeringAbstractThis paper describes an NSF-sponsored department level curriculum reform project in theElectrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Utah. The project focuseson developing system-level design projects (mostly labs, but a few software-only projects) thatintegrate ideas within a class, between classes, and in some cases between disciplines. Writtenand oral communication is also stressed throughout this program. Materials are available for useby other educators via the PI (Furse) or the website1.IntroductionThis paper reports on a department level curriculum reform project to integrate system-leveldesign projects throughout an otherwise relatively traditional undergraduate

Assessing the connectivity of an Electrical and Computer Engineering Curriculum AbstractProgram level assessment is done by combining the contributions from several units within theprogram at designated time intervals. Course level assessment is one of those units and is usuallydone within a course using tests, homework, projects, presentations etc. without looking at theconnected courses and their learning outcomes. Although course level assessment uses most ofthe resources under assessment and is considered an essential feedback path in making thecurricular changes, very little effort has been devoted to reliable measures of student learning asthey go through a sequence

(VIP) Program is an engineering educationprogram that operates in a research and development context. Undergraduate students that joinVIP teams earn academic credit for their participation in design efforts that assist faculty andgraduate students with research and development issues in their areas of technical expertise. Theteams are: multidisciplinary – drawing students from across engineering; vertically-integrated –maintaining a mix of sophomores through PhD students each semester; and long-term – eachundergraduate student may participate in a project for up to seven semesters and each graduatestudent may participate for the duration of their graduate career. The continuity, technical depth,and disciplinary breadth of these teams enable

The two course sequence is named VECTOR (Vitalizing ElectromagneticConcepts To Obtain Relevancy) and adapts existing teaching techniques and laboratories toaddress three inter-related objectives: A) Create an undergraduate curriculum in electromagnetics which is relevant to students and shows the impact of this field on emerging knowledge and technologies. B) Employ modern tools, skills, and techniques to emphasize fundamental concepts rather than teach legacy materials emphasizing rote, analytical solutions. C) Create an effective introductory EM course which will pipeline students into the electromagnetics-photonics curriculum at OSU, including graduate programs.These goals, described in

Theobjective of the experiment is to measure the speed of sound by measuring the time delaybetween the original and reflected signals. In the second experiment, an operational amplifier isused to amplify the signal from an infrared emitter/detector pair used to measure the speed of avariable speed DC motor.

Orientation at MSUOne of the major applications of electrical circuits in the ME curriculum was found to be in theirlaboratories. When conducting an experiment, the majority of the instrumentation and datarecording relies on a knowledge of electrical circuits. The ME department at MSU offers asequence of three laboratories, which are taken starting toward the end of the ME curriculum. Itincludes: ME3701 Experimental Orientation (EO), ME4721 Experimental Technique I (ET1),and ME4731 Experimental Technique II (ET2). The laboratories are intended to provide ahands-on environment to reinforce concepts learned in other courses, including those outside theME home department.

The course contains significant computer and hands-on project work inorder to implement working SDR systems. Focusing on SDRs provides a method to tie togethermany of the classes in a typical electrical engineering undergraduate’s curriculum: core coursessuch as Circuits and Devices, Signals and Systems, Embedded Microcontrollers, andEngineering Electromagnetics; as well as many of the popular elective courses such asCommunications, Controls, and Signal Processing. Building a functioning SDR system requiressome understanding of all of these topic areas. SDR is an emerging technology that promises to have a
