A pairwise linkage could be a soft link in which conceptual materialfrom an earlier course could be assumed and built upon in the higher level course of the linkage.More interestingly, a pairwise linkage could also be a hard link such as that formed by havingterm project teams consist of students from both courses. It is our working belief that byimplementing over time a set of pairwise linkages across a curriculum that faculty support willevolve towards more support for further developing such linkages and, more importantly,towards maintaining the linkages.A specific example is a concern about the lack of strong quantitative problem solving ability forundergraduate engineering students as manifest in student understanding of computer

A STANDALONE COMPUTER-AIDED TUTORIAL TO INTEGRATE COMPUTATIONAL TOOLS INTO A MECHANICAL DESIGN CURRICULUMAbstractMechanical design courses introduce fundamental concepts in the analysis and design ofstructural and machine components and assemblies, leaving little or no class time available tointroduce students to the latest software developments in this area. In addition, instructors inthese courses often lack the tools needed to help students grasp concepts that may be difficult tovisualize.Consequently, the objective of this work was to develop a parallel curriculum tool to providesupplementary instruction in mechanical design. This standalone tutorial is intended for useoutside the classroom by undergraduate

the need for developing skills inCybersecurity. Though many Universities offer a master’s degree in Cybersecurity, it isimpractical to fill this huge demand for Cybersecurity through only graduate degree holders.After careful analysis, it has become evident that there is a gap in the curriculum as it relates totraining for Cybersecurity concepts in foundational computing courses for students. To be morespecific, there is relatively less focus on the infusion of Cybersecurity concepts in undergraduatecomputing courses and its impact on classroom practices. This paper serves to address this gapby providing an experience in infusing, teaching, and assessing Cybersecurity modules in variousundergraduate computing courses that immerse students in
universities where innovative andtechnologically up-to-date curricula are provided to educate the next generation of engineers. This paper outlines the inclusion of a course called Computer Aided Engineering (CAE),which would traditionally be offered at the graduate level, into an undergraduate curriculum as atool to educate and train students early-on as industry-ready professionals. A junior-level course,CAE consists of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA),Computer Aided Design (CAD) and optimization. Although students get trained to use CADsoftware as freshmen, they need additional training on analysis and optimization of engineeringsystems prior to capstone design series. This course provides an opportunity to teach

A potential concern for such an approach isthat it seems to convey the message to students that entrepreneurship is a topic that is outside thenormal engineering world and does not deserve a place in the engineering curriculum._________ University is attempting a different solution to this challenge—integrating Page 14.757.2entrepreneurship topics directly into existing courses throughout all four years of the ElectricalEngineering and Computer Engineering (ECE) curricula. In this way, it is hoped that ECEstudents will have many opportunities to learn about entrepreneurship, beginning

Assessing the connectivity of an Electrical and Computer Engineering Curriculum AbstractProgram level assessment is done by combining the contributions from several units within theprogram at designated time intervals. Course level assessment is one of those units and is usuallydone within a course using tests, homework, projects, presentations etc. without looking at theconnected courses and their learning outcomes. Although course level assessment uses most ofthe resources under assessment and is considered an essential feedback path in making thecurricular changes, very little effort has been devoted to reliable measures of student learning asthey go through a sequence
