The team has been working since September 2002 todevelop a new scalable and deployable industrial engineering baccalaureate-degree model. Thismodel is designed to permit scaling up from an information technology kernel of coursework to afully integrated industrial engineering undergraduate curriculum. Three aspects of the newcurriculum plan are described in this paper.OverviewDuring the mid 1960s, a study group sponsored by NSF and ASEE

introduction of asynchronous digital design in the classroom is largely constrained by the lack of introductory educational materials. Future complex integrated circuits such as SoCs, in nano-meter technology are most likely to use asynchronous paradigms in the design of data-path circuits of the IC. This paper presents an approach for integrating asynchronous designs into the undergraduate VLSI design course. The paper is organized into 5 sections. Section 2 presents an overview of asynchronous logic; Section 3 describes the asynchronous materials developed for use in undergraduate Computer Engineering courses; Section 4 depicts the original VLSI course outlines and shows how this course has been augmented to include the asynchronous materials; and

curriculum.Jitter in the EET CurriculumIn-depth jitter analysis is much too complex to cover all at once in an undergraduate curriculum.The basics, however, are suitable for first and second year students. It makes sense to introducebasic topics in the first two years, then ramp up to more technically challenging subjects in thethird and/or fourth years of an EET program. Moreover, the early topics are worthwhile for allstudents, not just those planning to specialize in the digital arena. For instance, RF systemdesigners must contend with phase jitter in transmitted/received signals. By including jitterbasics in the underclassman portion of the curriculum, all EET students would be exposed tothose concepts. More advanced topics could be reserved for junior

Emig describes the simple act ofreading one’s own writing as a valuable learning moment in which “information from the pro-cess is immediately and visibly available as that portion of the product already written.” Review-ing a set of writings collected over time, then, creates an opportunity to extend the learning pro-cess. Both instructors and students benefit from the act of collecting artifacts because they repre-sent the changes and growth that accompany learning. When integrated in a purposeful way ap-propriate to a given discipline, WTL deepens student understanding, improves student engage-ment, increases retention, and makes students active participants in the learning process10,11.1.2 WTL and computational

However,it has become evident that the teaching and learning processes need to be modeled as oneprocess in order to optimize the product created from them: knowledge and the ability of lifelong learning. In other words, it is now imperative to address teaching and learningsimultaneously to take advantage of the results obtained by various independent researchers.A model and a prototype tool that treat teaching and learning as an integrated process havebeen developed using TQM and CB approach to assist instructors in classroom learningmanagement.

Manystudents come to an engineering curriculum poorly prepared and with substantialmisunderstanding of what engineers actually do. Too frequently, recent high-school graduatesare unprepared to make the commitment to do the hard work required to complete their degree infour years.

The objective of using an approachbased on six sigma techniques is to find out the specific needs of the market place and try toaddress those needs effectively. A significant advantage of a curriculum that is based on thisapproach is that it significantly improves the employability of students. It imparts a set ofmarketable skills that can be used in an entrepreneurial sense. In order to accomplish thisobjective, the aforementioned approach places heavy emphasis on ‘how-to’ approach of problemsolving pertaining to sustainability.Obstacles to implementation:Rapid change in marketplace

We feel thatin such an introductory course, students must be aware that they are dealing with real circuitsand that logic signals are represented with physically measurable quantities. We found that inusing a CPLD with a breadboard, the CPLD is identifiable to students, and that with modestwiring they constructed demonstrative circuits that they felt were satisfying and engaging.This paper outlines our more recent experience to further integrate our use of the CPLD in ourintroductory course. Given the potentially wide reaching impact on the curriculum, we aretaking incremental steps, each with measurable goals. In the Fall 2012 semester, new

, TLC is closest to Udacity and edX,except these other systems do not provide individualized content.5, 6TLC is similar to Udacity and edX in that each provides the means to integrate variedtypes of content together for a sequential presentation to the user. For example, lecturecontent can be interspersed with active learning exercises. Homework style questions canfollow lecture, and be automatically graded. Hence these systems are quite different thana Content Management System such as Moodle17 because the varied types of content arenot presented in a sequential fashion. As an analogy this would be the difference betweena standard book versus one in which the pages are cut out a spread across a table. Withloose pages there is no control over
