Faculty within a CG degree program would benefit from an understanding of theexperiential learning instructional methodologies to pedagogically develop curriculum for an ELcourse in computer graphics.Generally, employers who hire CG graduates want proof of “real-world” experience and oftenask for a minimum of three years experience in the field. Real world experience, to employers,often includes not only the technical skills but also the “soft skills” of teamwork, appreciation fordiversity, and communication. Traditional classroom learning, as well as traditional classroomsimulations of real-world portfolio projects, may not always fully prepare the learner for the CGwork environment. Conversely

As a part of our curriculum continuous improvement plan,faculty members in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology department at theUniversity of Cincinnati felt it very important to teach students the current wireless and mobilecommunication technologies, and to let them gain hands-on experiences with the application ofwireless technologies.

Anew program in Computer Engineering Technology (CpET) was recently approved atIUPUI to be offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer EngineeringTechnology (ECET). In the design of this new program, we studied and assessed variousvendor-sponsored certification programs and professional registration examinations. Inthis study, we identified skill-sets necessary for several generally recognized job roles incomputer networking, programming and telecommunications. We further classified andextracted exam questions into sets of high-level principles and analytical concepts basedon these different job roles. In this paper, course objectives developed

The course’s purpose hasbeen to provide non-engineering majors a basic knowledge of electrical engineering. Acornerstone of this knowledge was an understanding of electrical circuits and electromechanicalmachines.As advances have made technology more prevalent, the course added topics (e.g., electronicnavigation, computers) to maintain its relevancy. In the twelve years since the last significantchange, the pervasiveness of technology in society has increased dramatically.

introduce different specialization areas in electrical and computer engineering. The need forsuch a course came about as a result of a new ECE curriculum, which emphasized junior andsenior level elective courses to achieve depth in at least one of the ECE specialization areas. Thenew course was intended as a catalyst encouraging the students to consider their interests indifferent ECE specializations as early as possible to help them in choosing their elective courses.At the time, the ECE faculty participating in the development effort for this course was stronglyagainst creating just a survey course, which would most likely lack the rigor of a typicalintroductory course. A consensus was reached to create a course with a strong hardwarelaboratory

Writtenand oral communication is also stressed throughout this program.

Anothermeasure of success has been the number of students who announce they have decided they wantto specialize in computer engineering.A noticeable improvement can be seen in elective follow-on courses in the students’ abilities totackle projects with little or no help. It was in one such recent course that a normally quietstudent, using a breadboard with a microcontroller, exclaimed “It blinked!” when he finallysucceeded in blinking an LED.ConclusionMicroprocessor or development board vendors will try to sell more hardware by giving freeproducts to schools, and showing them how easy it is to solve problems using their suppliedsoftware libraries.
