current information can be garnered. A second trend which also reflects larger social trends, is the demand for a more "consumer oriented"approach to education. This requires shifting the focus of education from teaching to learning; from instructorto student. Curriculum content and methodologies which were once based on the expertise and preferences ofthe instructor, shift towards the needs and preferences of the learner. In its pure form, this trend would havestudents in the role of designer, researcher, and problem-solver, responsible for their own learning, andcreating their own paths through course content. Instructors shift from a 'sage on the stage' to a 'guide on theside' as they help direct student inquiry, facilitate research and

differences inthe specialty areas of available faculty.During the first two years our computer engineering curriculum follows those of mostuniversities, with one important exception. It is always interesting to ask a student just enteringthe university why they choose a particular field, such as electrical or computer engineering.For the most part - and no real surprise - the answer is usually very vague; such as "I want towork with computers," or "I want to design electronic circuits." Typically, students have areasonably good idea that they want to work in the general area of electrical or computerengineering, but lack an understanding of the difference between the two. The problem is toeducate students to make an informed choice.Our computer

Alan noted that he is interested in pursuing a doctoral degree inengineering education, but that degree is not offered at his university and pursuing a degree in educationwould not suffice for promotion in his department. I would argue that maybe it is appropriate that you need a PhD for that level, but let’s clarify that. A PhD in [specific technical field] which is what my Master’s degree in, is not going to help me in any way. That should not count towards the promotion. But something along the lines

Most of this effort was directed at taking advantage of the existingstrengths of the technical side of the program and capitalizing on the fact that engineering istaught in a liberal arts environment at an institution with a strong international component in thecurriculum. Therefore it is well-positioned to produce broadly educated engineers for the globalengineering community of the 21st century. In the new mechanical engineering program there isa strong emphasis on fundamentals in both thermal/fluids and mechanics.

BackgroundSince the 1950s, digital computers have become an increasingly important part of engineeringeducation and the engineering workplace. Both engineering educators and engineeringpractitioners have struggled to evolve effective ways to fully utilize the increasing power andsophistication of computers in engineering analysis and design.
