The essence of DAC issomewhat captured in the following phrase: “...Design cannot be taught in one course; it is an experience that must grow with the student’s development.” (1996/97 Criteria for Accrediting Programs in Engineering in the United States, section IV.C.3.d.(3)(d), ABET, Inc.)A draft policy on Design Across the Curriculum was prepared and distributed to the faculty in Page 3.193.1August 1996.

The University of Wyoming was fortunate to be ableto participate in this effort and many of these curricular changes have been reported elsewhere.1What will be outlined here are some of the computer exercises integrated into the non-powerportions of the EE curriculum that address power issues.The University of Wyoming has a modest program in electrical power so a significant part of oureffort was devoted to the incorporation of electrical power concepts into non-power courses suchas electronics, signals and systems, digital design and microprocessor system design.

control has been undergoing a transformation over the past thirty years.The number of control engineering positions in manufacturing has been dramatically increasingto the point that the majority of new control engineering positions is now in manufacturing andinvolves programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The typical college or university has been slowto recognize this trend. This paper describes three courses that were developed to satisfy thisdemand. All three courses present the subject of programming PLCs with an emphasis on theengineering and the design of the programs. These courses contain an integral laboratorycomponent that solidifies the concepts presented in the lectures. Best practices for PLC designand the application of standards

During the development of the fidelity checklist, the necessary timerequired for participants to gain the knowledge, skill or ability is predetermined. The actual timedevoted to the component is recorded on the checklist. Finally, the responsiveness of theaudience is also recorded. Here the evaluator is determining the audience’s engagement with thecontent (Gerstner & Finney, 2013). By assessing the training program in this way, a morethorough understanding of the program components can be assessed and the intended curriculumversus the presented curriculum can be evaluated holistically.An implementation fidelity assessment provides an environment where programmaticcomponents are articulated

]. There is an urgent need to significantly increase the number of graduates who areprepared for careers in the IA fields. A major barrier to meeting this challenge is that fewUniversities currently offer a comprehensive IA educational program; furthermore, sufficientnumbers of experienced faculty to ramp up such an effort does not exist. Given the growingneed for graduates educated in computer security and the current lack of a capacity to meet thatneed, there is a premium placed on leveraging existing expertise by sharing instructionalmaterials for core concepts. This will succeed on the scale needed only if there is an acceptedIA curriculum framework in place. CNSS Job

What Constitutes a Computer Engineering Education?In developing an ECE curriculum the logical starting point would be the typical curricula forelectrical engineering and computer engineering majors. It is interesting to note that, to theauthors’ knowledge, nothing which could be referred to as an “EE Model Curriculum” exists.There is, however, an emerging model curriculum for computer engineering.

Education onteam function and bias in team dynamics is helpful. 2.) Teamwork skills and strategies forcollaboration and conflict resolution need to be taught. 3.) Mentoring and engaging withstudents is an important aspect of the process and can be enhanced to better serve women. 4.)Reflection and self-assessment exercises can be integrated to build self-efficacy and confidencein students.

Industrial participants in the project provide specific design problemsrelated to emerging technologies. Students are taught the fundamentals of computational fluiddynamics (CFD) during a one-week workshop. This is followed by an Internet course on multiphasetransport phenomena. The students work in teams on CFD design problems with a faculty andindustrial mentor. The salient results of this NSF/CRCD project are

During secondand third year courses, the engineering curriculum focuses on analytical concepts and techniquesultimately intended to support design analysis ability. Given the overcrowded traditionalengineering curriculum, it is not surprising that students do not improve their creative processingskills. The proliferation of assistive software for design has an impact on student training as well.For example, sketching was a critical skill in traditional engineering design but the practice hasbecome less important to students as computer-aided drawing tools have become available tothem.Industrial and academic leaders long expressed concerns about the impact of

All these advances were incorporated in the revised proposal. Again, the proposalwas rejected but mainly for the lack of an assessment expert from the education field.In April 2001, MIT announced 8 its open courseware initiative9 where they would publish onlinecourse materials such as course syllabus, lecture notes, digital audiovisual lectures, assignmentsand examinations. In 2002, they published their first set of 50 courses. More than 2,000 courseshave since been published. Combined with the acceptance of such ideas of open courseware andteaming with the
