the 2003 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright© 2003, American Society for Engineering EducationIntroductionDuring the last three decades, the scope of electrical and computer engineering (ECE) haswidened dramatically largely due to advances in digital technology and computers. The ECEeducators responded to this continuous expansion by modifying their core courses andintroducing new electives. In recent years however, it became clear that it would no longer bepossible to maintain a modern ECE curriculum by adding a course or two when the need arrived.The changes prompted the ECE departments to consider innovative ideas in curricula design. Thenew curricula often included introductory courses

The Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology criterion three, part f requires that ethics topics be interlacedthroughout the various courses2. For example, a material science course could have studentswork problems and case scenarios about materials selection not only on stress properties but alsoon effects to the environment and resource sustainability. Another factor could involve the initialand long term cost of the decision involving the same environmental areas. This is especiallytrue where product design priority has been for lower cost, which makes the product easy tothrow away but too expensive to

Elective courses in these technologies were straightforward applications of the paradigm, as they were based on the same chemical engineering core;namely, thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, and transport phenomena.

General education is needed to accomplish the “total education” of a “typical”engineering graduate. However, the choice of categories, the courses in these categories, and thetypical student they should serve should be markedly different for engineers compared to generalarts and science graduates. Professional organizations such as ASEE (American Society ofEngineering Education) and ABET (Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology), aswell as specialized areas such as AIChE (American Institute of Chemical Engineers), must assumea leadership role in academics to ensure engineering graduates are being served in their
