Those involved in curriculumdevelopment must be cognizant of the need for curriculum that is broad enough to suit asufficiently wide range of potential employers that will allow their students career flexibility. Inaddition to possible disagreement about expected educational outcomes, there may also bemisunderstandings about content and potential for bias. It is the author’s suggestion

This paper describes an effort that provides investigative experiences to UG students by exposingthem to appropriately packaged signal processing research results. This effort is structured in terms ofresearch modules that are taken by students across the curriculum.

AbstractIt is debatable whether or not the subject of finite element analysis should be included as a requiredcourse in an undergraduate mechanical engineering program. In the past couple of decades,commercial finite element software packages have dramatically increased their capabilities byimproving their calculation power, merging and integrating other computer tools into the packages,and creating many user-friendly features. The design and manufacturing industries embrace thepowerful finite element tool and require their engineers to use the tool for product development anddesign refinement. Academia supplies entry-level engineers to the design and manufacturingindustries. It is time to reconsider adding a finite element course in the

Forexample, we can introduce more scaffolding within the curriculum to prepare students forcoursework and topics they will encounter later in the program. Skills learned in the first yearwill be incorporated into second year courses and so on, so students can continue to grow theirengineering toolkit. However, reorganization of our existing curriculum has also presentedchallenges.

elements of electronic product design and production for an OPD.Electronic products and systems are ubiquitous. From an electric pencil sharpener to the firecontrol system on a Trident nuclear powered submarine, these products utilize electricalcomponents packaged in a mechanical assembly. During product or system operation, there isinput from a human, robot or another product or system, causing a desirable output from theproduct or system to a human, robot or another product or system. The input data, both analogand/or digital, are processed, and the resultant output is some form of work – electrical,mechanical or both (the path integral of a force over a distance) – e.g., a useful pencil point iscreated, or a missile is fired at a target. These
