can no longer rely exclusively on advances with the technical discipline (e.g., theintegrated circuit, personal computer, smartphone), but also the ability to interface technologicaladvances across highly complex systems and across broad application areas. There is a clearneed to reinvent curricula in EE, and in particular to prepare tomorrow’s engineers to becompetitive in a global world and to emphasize and support student diversity. Here we describeour current ongoing efforts to address these needs through a revised EE curriculum. This effortincludes the development of a vision for transforming the EE curriculum, and current proposedactivities to formalize integrative laboratory and design activities and engaged learning in the

responded. Educators agree that thequality of engineering teaching needs to be improved, and the content and delivery of traditionallectures fail to motivate students to meet learning challenges and job requirements. TheDepartment of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota Twin Citieshas developed a comprehensive plan to revamp the electric energy systems core courses. 1 Thereformed curriculum has integrated the three sub-areas of electric energy systems, i.e. electricdrives, power electronics, and power systems, into a single focus area. The new curriculum isable to cover a broader range of topics with greater depths while allowing students to explorecomplimentary areas, such as control systems, mechanical systems, and
