design is currently notyet well represented in undergraduate academic programs.In order to prepare our computer engineering students for the autonomous vehicle designexperience which can be considered as a complex embedded systems design, we offer twocourses on embedded systems. However, these two courses on embedded systems design are notenough to teach the students the skills that they need. In order to satisfy the ABET requirementsstudents in computer engineering program are required to take a capstone course. The projectsthat students do in this capstone course are embedded projects. This paper will describeautonomous vehicle projects that the students have done in this capstone course.IntroductionWikipedia defines autonomous vehicle as “ A

Hence a student graduating from an ABET accredited computer science programwill be able to seek employment in countries that place higher value on, or require, licensing ofcomputer science professionals. For example, in the UK, computer science graduates may seeklicensing as an Incorporated Engineer and Chartered Engineer 16 . In a global community, and in afield that increasingly has a major impact on society, licensing may become a requirement in somecountries, and hence graduation from an ABET accredited program will facilitate students wishingto

Lattuca et. al.’s2017 engineering education study found that a curricular emphasis on interdisciplinary topicsand skills (specifically including participating in non-engineering co-curricular activities andhumanitarian engineering projects), “significantly and positively relate to engineering students’reports of interdisciplinary skills” [4]. In this paper, we suggest an interdisciplinary computerprogramming exercise based on Ada Lovelace’s 1843 program for Charles Babbage’s AnalyticalEngine, thus promoting knowledge transfer between the humanities (history) and computerscience.

However, it isrelated to many different domains, such as information science, business and management,psychology, criminal justice and forensic science. Therefore, cybersecurity programs should beinterdisciplinary to provide students with strong skills and knowledge in different areas.Cybersecurity is science and this science requires the application of mathematics to solveproblems, design processes, measures, and tools; therefore, cybersecurity research centers/labshave a positive impact on cybersecurity

With affordable and advanced HPC resources more readily accessible than ever before, computational simulation of complex physical phenomena becomes an increasingly attractive strategy to predict the physical behavior of diverse engineered systems. Furthermore, novel applications of HPC in engineering are highly interdisciplinary, requiring advanced skills in mathematical modeling, algorithm development as well as programming skills for parallel, distributed and concurrent architectures and

We further focus ontwo closely related degree programs (Computer Science and Computer Engineering) that aredelivered by different departments within the School.

That gap is partiallyfilled by various online (degree-granting as well as non-degree/certificate-based) programs,whose quality (from this author’s own experience as well as the experiences from professionalinteraction with data scientists whose main or in some cases sole qualifications and training stemfrom such programs) tend to vary very broadly.
