industryThis interdisciplinary engineering educational program, which involves ECE and ME, has threecomponents to better prepare undergraduate, graduate and continuing professional educationstudents to become practitioners in microelectronics technology: 1. The cross-training of senior undergraduate engineering students in ECE and ME with modules of appropriate ECE courses taught to ME students and, conversely, modules of ME courses taught to ECE students. 2. Intermediate graduate and continuing professional education courses in ECE and ME, which continue this cross training. 3. Modular advanced graduate courses, which can be dynamically modified to satisfy

Wehave designed a series of experiments to teach fundamentals of full-custom IC design, whichinclude front-end to back-end flow. These labs help IC beginners understand the entirefull-custom design process. Labs are executed in both an undergraduate and advancedgraduate course. The lab experience includes
to explore the future directions for educationalprograms that include manufacturing as a major content feature. The forums were organized andconducted by the Manufacturing Education & Research Community of the Society ofManufacturing Engineers (SME) and many of the planners and participants are also activemembers of the ASEE Manufacturing Division. The recent activity builds on significant workdone during the 1990s that resulted in documents that have made large impacts on manufacturingeducation. This paper will summarize the goals, agendas, and results from these forums. Topicsincluded are: ≠ Emerging technologies in manufacturing ≠ Industry needs from manufacturing graduates ≠ Bridging research to classroom

The course project had been a small group project (with groups of 3-5 students), whichthe results have been presented previously at the American Society of Engineering Education-Southeast Conference (Kribs, 2021). As part of the course changes, for the current studysemester was changed to have all of the students participating in the same project, as part of alarger group (with a course enrollment of 11 students). The topic of the CURE study was decidedby the entire class, and the students were asked to conduct early research into the topic. Inprevious

The Engineering Accreditation Commission of theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET) has been evaluating suchprograms for many years, and accrediting them. In some cases, at institutional option, theprograms are evaluated separately and receive separate accreditation actions. In others, theprogram is offered as a single program, evaluated and accredited accordingly. Page 5.235.1 1In the 1990s, however, a

This paper highlights a required undergraduate course on energysystems and conversion for electrical engineering (EE) students at Penn State University -Harrisburg. The new course format adds components that are not typically included in thestudents’ exposure to the subject. It guides students to explore various energy sources,conversion technologies, and highlights economic, environmental, sustainability, ethical, healthand safety, social, and political issues in energy use.IntroductionMany electrical engineering (EE) programs traditionally include an energy conversion course inthe program requirements for the undergraduate degree.

Asmore companies become aware of the benefits of an integrated software simulation environment,the demand for engineers and technologists with the proper training and design skills shouldincrease.EDA Tools and Their CapabilitiesEDA tools have been very useful in implementing an integrated software simulation environment.They have evolved over the years and now support the whole design process from the initialinterpretation of system requirements to the final stages of manufacturing. While specific featuresand capabilities of EDA systems vary greatly, their major elements may be grouped as follows: • Entry tools: they deal with schematic capture, block diagrams, Hardware Description Languages (HDLs), and system level
