These include the traditional physics,engineering mechanics, electric circuits and computer programming sequences. The EGR 101course replaces traditional math prerequisite requirements for the above core courses, so thatstudents can advance in the engineering curriculum without having completed a traditionalfreshman calculus sequence. This has enabled a significant restructuring of the engineeringcurriculum, including the placement of formerly sophomore-level engineering courses within thefreshman year. The WSU model concludes with the development of a revised engineeringmathematics

A computer controlled experimental data acquisition system will be used to monitor the vacuum level for the 40 second tests and determine the drop in vacuum level during that time.

In this particular case, such a change in the curriculum can be brought forth byusing the following steps: 1. Recruiting specialists from arts faculty in engineering school; 2. Implementing a one semester course on Aesthetics in Engineering, in the freshman year; 3. Incorporating seminars and workshops on Aesthetics in Engineering in the final year just before graduation.Final RemarksAdding art and aesthetics in the undergraduate engineering curricula and programs, thereby transformingS.T.E.M.

Of course we did work together to design our curriculumand we frequently updated our curriculum based on the literature in our field, (e.g., ComputingCurriculum for Software Engineering, SWEBOK, etc.).

Valian illustratesthis point by citing a study that describes a computer simulation of promotion practices at ahypothetical corporation which had eight levels staffed at the bottom level by equal numbers ofmen and women [5]. A model-specified percentage of the staff would be promoted from onelevel to the next over a given period of time. The model imposed a small (1%) bias in favor ofpromoting men. After running the model through numerous iterations, the highest level in thecompany was 65% male [4, pp.3]. Based on these results, even small disadvantages can createhuge disparities over time.If this model of gender inequity is accepted, then initiatives to enhance equity must be similarlypervasive and systemic
