Alternatively, if over time the IDP appeals to enoughof the professors within the department, then perhaps the inclusion of the IDP will occur naturally.Moreover, it is recommended to establish an elevated level of communication amongst the instructors forall integrated courses to optimize the execution of the IDP, minimizing the conflicts and maximizing thevalue to the students. It is recommended to plan for the IDP well in advance (e.g., in the preceding term).This is to combat the challenge involving the communication and scheduling difficulties between the

In the case of this curriculum, thedebugging of circuits is skills-based rather than conceptually based because of this lackof emphasisLastly, we found that most of the material presented in this curriculum is explicitlyintegrated – 77.5% of the time. Due to the nature of the material and the unique subjectmatter, this was not a surprise. No connections were made 17.6% of the time between theengineering and mathematics.

Case-based instructional methods have long been used in engineeringeducation, almost exclusively in the context of ethics where “there is widespread agreement thatthe best way to teach professional ethics is by using cases.”9Less common is the use of the case study method to integrate business learning, specificallyentrepreneurship concepts, with core engineering curriculum.

The decision was made to integrate amodule for an introduction to BPS software into the Facilities Layout Design course. Initially,student versions of business process simulation software were used for this module. This provedto be satisfactory for several years for teaching students the basics of simulation modeling.However, recently, Senior Project sponsors have asked student teams to provide processsimulation for those senior projects that involve facility layout designs.

Virtually any non-trivial system - an electronic automotive enginecontrol unit for example - requires an understanding of concepts from across the entire spectrumof ECE. Furthermore the central component that integrates these concepts is an embeddedcomputer. As a means of reducing the tendency to "boxing", we use our introductory course inembedded computing to motivate and contextualize concepts from across our curriculum.Many ECE curricula have a course in microcontrollers or embedded computing, covering topicssuch as digital input/output (I/0), analog to digital conversion (A/D) or the use of timers.

To be morespecific, there is relatively less focus on the infusion of Cybersecurity concepts in undergraduatecomputing courses and its impact on classroom practices.
