In the last matriculation model mentioned by Orr et. al., FTICstudents may matriculate into engineering programs after taking university level general-studiesprograms [1].To study engineering programs curriculum researchers have used different categorization modelsto differentiate engineering coursework. Adelman created an empirical core curriculum thatgeneralized 21 core course categories that accounted for 60% of the credit hours engineeringrecipients earned [4]. He reviewed the changes in empirical core curriculum between 1972-1984and 1982-1993 and noted that compared to any

accreditationcriteria were a generally proscriptive listing of specific course, curriculum, facility, and facultyrequirements. Many referred to the accreditation process as being one of “bean counting.” Therewas a growing dissatisfaction with the process with many believing that it forced all programs tohave the same “beans” and did not allow the innovation needed for engineering education toevolve and improve. As a remedy to this situation, a set of outcomes based criteria wereproposed. These were used experimentally for the first time in 1996. These criteria were referredto as Criteria 2000, now more commonly called EC 20002.These outcomes based criteria provide a broad description of the abilities an engineeringgraduate should have but leave the institution

EducationConclusionTechnology is changing so rapidly, and an increasing number of manufacturing companies areembracing and implementing new technologies into CD environment, in order to staycompetitive in the global market. Colleges and universities have an obligation to embrace thesenew technologies and integrate them into their capstone design curriculum. In order to trulyprepare the new generation of design and manufacturing engineers for challenges of this newcentury, colleges and universities have to revitalize their capstone design courses. They need notonly have to offer these virtual-based courses to their own students, but they also need tocollaborate with other universities to offer these courses to a global student population as well.In this paper, we

In thiscontext, effective integration provides similar student benefits as those demonstrated in highereducation [18].

Experiential learning in these areas gives biomedical engineering graduates avaluable skill set coveted by medical device companies. This skill set will position biomedicalengineers apart from other engineering disciplines and will help more completely define thebiomedical engineer. The Biomedical Engineering Department at Western New England College has developed anapproach to the capstone senior design course which integrates QSR and design controls into thecurriculum.

This wouldalso give some ECE students their first exposure to the C programming language.Before updating the Microprocessors course, an experimental course addressing the usage of theC programming language for embedded applications was undertaken to investigate methods ofincorporating the C programming language in the electrical engineering curriculum.

Andabove all, computer programming is considered an essential skill that is important for thesolution of both basic and advanced problems and should therefore be incorporated in thestudents’ curriculum. In addition, the study showed that mathematicians are critical of the useof CAS in mathematics education, fearing that these systems might distract students’ attentionfrom in-depth thinking. However, in [3] it was shown that CAS can contributed to asignificant increase in students’ performance.An unreflective use of ready-made algorithms in CAS can be avoided by having themathematical
