, is playing a more important role within engineering curriculums. Inthe electronic and computer engineering technology program at UD, a major emphasis has beenplaced upon embedded system design, including the use of SoC development within multiplecourses. In the Microprocessors I course, SoC development has been used to provide studentsexposure to the hardware/software co-design process. Using a cumulative design project relatedto audio has provided relevance to the course material and a challenging real-world designplatform. The example overview of a student design project provided a glimpse into some of thedesign issues that the students face during this capstone project and how they overcome them.Bibliography1.

ABET introduced the revised outcomes for EngineeringCriteria 20001 to drive changes in engineering education practice—such as promoting more sub-stantial education in communication and ethics—but many programs’ and institutions’ ap-proaches to the ABET requirements have now become codified, and administrators now exam-ine proposed changes to curriculum or pedagogy, asking whether they pose any risk to continu-ing accreditation. Programs that have been successfully placing graduates into desirable jobsmay be similarly constrained by their own success. Such factors can reinforce an institutional

Technology should be used toanswer such questions in higher education because technology would be used to answer suchquestions in real life!It is important to pause here in order to link this retirement planning example directly to ourunderlying notion of coupling industry-centered analysis and engineering design in EE. The realconcepts at work in the retirement situation are identifying a problem (saving for retirement) andthe variables generally within my control (how much I save, the career I choose), understandingthe unknowns and uncertainties of the problem (salary growth, inflation, future needs, how long Iintend to work), creating boundaries for a problem (i.e., bounds on the unknowns), and thengenerating
design lifecycle Engage in community-based educational activitiesWith these goals in mind the Capstone Experience was designed so a team of three or fourstudents would form small “consulting engineering” companies and then, over the course of twoquarters (six months), work on projects submitted by companies in the area.The student teams are mentored by an engineer or manager at the company and “managed” atour university by part-time faculty from the local industrial talent pool. The Capstone facultybrings the necessary real-world experience and soft skills, such as creating and trackingschedules that students need to execute their projects within the allotted time.In Capstone I the student team creates their development contract.

and engineering and overall minority trends is one of the most critical issues confronting the educational system. For example, by the year 2000, 85 percent of those entering the labor force for the first time areexpected to be women, minorities, immigrants, and disabled individuals. Furthermore, in 1990, 23 of the largest25 school districts in the United States were dominated by “minorities.” Accordingly, the need to diversify thepipeline of engineering students arises not only from a desire to provide equal opportunity to all, but from a verypractical concern of a serious shortfall of scientists and engineers in the very near future.1 Many reasons have been cited for the low enrollments and poor retention of women and
