technical reports in a few courses simply did not meetthe expectations of employers. This led to a new approach to integrate writing exercises andevaluation throughout the curriculum. One basic premise from the outset was that writing cannotbe limited to a few courses, but requires a thoughtful integration over a student’s entire educationin Engineering Technology. Blending writing formats with each course was achieved by aconstructing a matrix with courses on one axis and forms of writing on the other. The matrixensures that students will develop the writing abilities desired by the base of employers duringtheir tenure in the department.BackgroundIn 1998 the University of Dayton Department of Engineering Technology was re-evaluating andre

It seemed that these students were used toseeking an 'approved solution.'…" [17]While moving design education into first-year curricula and strategically inserting it into otherpoints in a student’s education are surely important steps to take, these do not addresssufficiently the existing hierarchy between science and design. In order to rearrange it,intervention must be initiated on the science side as well, intervention that goes beyondintroducing software for analysis and optimization and participating in emerging forms ofinstructional technologies.[18]One possible approach to rethinking the pedagogy of the engineering sciences is to begin withrecognition that engineering is always problem solving

In just a couple of years, agood number of engineering programs will celebrate 70 years of continuous accreditation.Shortly after WW II, ECPD began accrediting associate degree programs. In the late 1960’sECPD began accrediting BS programs in engineering technology. In the present ABETorganization, engineering programs are accredited under the aegis of the EngineeringAccreditation Commission (EAC) and those in engineering technology are accredited by theTechnology Accreditation Commission (TAC).

Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Illinois Urbana ChampaignAbstract. This paper describes an effort at understanding the Cadence flow set up for VLSIdesign in 180nm technology and updating it to the newer 45nm technology node. This projectwas undertaken because there are four VLSI design courses offered in our department that useCadence. When the Cadence software license was updated to the latest version, the original setup for all these courses stopped working. So, we decided to systematically study the currentsetup files for Cadence tool for the 180nm technology and update it to 45nm. To integrate theupdate into machine problems (MPs) for our course, the manuals were updated to utilize the newlibrary
