American Society for Engineering Education, 2016Restructuring Digital Design Courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology Programs, Preparing the Engineer of 2020AbstractAs the complexity of microelectronic systems is steadily increasing, universities must updatetheir curriculum to cope with the increased demands of the industry. New technologies and toolsare frequently introduced into the engineering workplace, and educational programs must find away to integrate many of these into their offerings. In the areas of digital system design, theindustrial use of programmable logic devices (FPGA, CPLD), associated EDA tools and HDLlanguages is increasing rapidly and consequently the demand for highly qualified engineers withthis

Because of this apparent success, the Engineering of RealTime Systems course is now a required in computer engineering curriculum and will be taught inthe same format.

The strategy utilized in this case study was based on Page 22.368.16leveraging students prior CAD and computing knowledge in order to introduce higher-ordermodeling skills along with the generative design concepts. Introducing generative designconcepts into the broader curriculum could exacerbate the lack of digital design skills prevalentamong many senior faculty in architecture programs.

A recent study of the curricula of the 19 software engineering program that wereaccredited in October 2009 indicated that more than half of these programs were housed in thesame department as an accredited computer science program. It also indicated that there is awide degree of variation in the degree of overlap in content of the software engineeringcurriculum and that of the computer science curriculum. At some institutions, there was as littleas one course overlap between the two programs while at others there was a very largecomponent that was shared.

While the implementation of a complete biomedical engineering curriculum may be oneapproach to address this need, it weakens the electrical engineering training received by thestudents. Hence, there remains a need for electrical engineers highly trained in circuit andsystem design that also understand the basics of biology, anatomy, and physiology. Therefore,we developed a biomedical engineering focus program within our electrical engineeringdepartment that provides training in the biological sciences while maintaining our strongemphasis in circuits and systems.
