With the rapidly advancing capabilities of computing hardware, it is now possible to embed computing capabilities in virtually all manufactured devices. Consequently, there is an increased demand for professionals trained to develop embedded electronic systems. However, the design and implementation of such systems requires a broad knowledge in areas traditionally not covered in any one discipline. This paper discusses the development of an interdisciplinary curriculum on real-time embedded systems, and the resulting courses that enable students to develop high assurance, state-of-the-art, real-time

These modules, which were first introduced in2005 and are integrated throughout the curriculum, were developed by faculty in the Civil andEnvironmental Engineering Department with librarians from Falvey Library at VillanovaUniversity. Prior research has shown that information literacy instruction is most successfulwhen it is associated with an assignment within a course as opposed to a stand-alone subject.Since the initial development of these modules, there have been several changes to thecurriculum and the faculty teaching the courses

The difficulty withencouraging academic programs to become more market-responsive, is the lack of clear cut plansand examples on how to do so. This effort provides an example of how a process approach canbe utilized to redesign a curriculum to enhance its value.The improvement methodology used in this large-scale effort is based on Dr. W. EdwardsDeming’s Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle. This paper describes the assessment measures we are usingto ensure the integrity and continuity of our improvement activities.

This specific approach centers on the integration of the Physics I and Mathematics Icourses, named Fis-Mat, for its name in Spanish.

Twenty seven freshmen from a wide diversity of disciplines voluntarily signed upfor the proposed course. The course meets one semester hour for four semesters. Students whoattend the entire course, four semesters, are able to substitute this course for one in their major(agreed upon by the respective curriculum committees prior to the course offering). The firstsemester is an introduction to energy concepts such as work, power and conservation of energy.

First, the use of building performance simulation provides a horizon uponwhich to ground the design of a building. Too often contemporary architecture students aretaught to exercise unbridled formal ambitions that lack grounding in engineering, costestimation, or constructability.
