curriculum revision, and as part of this revision, thecommittee felt a need for a course that would introduce students to programming, flow charts,sensors, and interfacing with computers. The author of this paper took it upon himself todevelop the course outline, which was approved by the committee. The developed syllabus ispresented in Appendix A. The syllabus went through several iterations before it was finalized.The topics are listed below with some explanation for the choices. ● Introduction to input/output (i/o) and computer interface at a block diagram level o User friendliness has really helped the plug & play interface mature to the point that most people (students included) never have to think about the inner workings

conference19, leading universitieshave included software engineering within the computing curriculum as topics within courses,sole courses, and recently, as sole degree programs. The demand for skilled softwareengineering practitioners has had unprecedented growth in industry and academia has had adifficult time keeping up. The first framework for a sole software engineering education wasproposed a decade after the 1968 NATO conference. Another decade elapsed before the firstmodel curriculum was designed and the software engineering degree programs began. Marked by continual change, this last decade has seen steady progress in softwareengineering education (SEE). In a discipline that is this new, the question of what to teach isparticularly

understanding of hardware will significantly enhance the expertise of ITprofessionals as system integrators.At BYU, hardware systems content has been incorporated into the IT curriculum. Thecurriculum is time constrained and hardware topics have to be balanced against other topicscompeting for limited credit hours. Realizing that our students are not striving to becomehardware designers, much of the hardware content is taught at the conceptual level, with moredepth being applied to the particular areas required for effective systems integration.This paper presents the hardware systems content that has emerged over several years of refiningit within an IT curriculum. Areas emphasized include computer systems hardware, serial andparallel busses, physical

However, the efforts reported in [2-10]generally are done on a small scale, uncoordinated between courses and often without extensiveweb-based support. Despite these limitations, these papers do demonstrate the feasibility andusefulness of hands-on experiments to supplement lecture courses as are presented in this paper.The TESSAL Center was established to provide a coordinated and cross-curriculum approach tothe inclusion of small scale-labs into lecture

The follow-up qualitative group that met shared with us that topicssuch as this and the Software Engineering process are important, but new graduates willprobably not be hired to work in those areas – they are typically filled by experienced engineersand are thus weighted lower for new graduates.The four most important topics were Mathematical Foundations, Engineering Foundations,Professional Practice, and Computing Foundations. These could be described under a broadumbrella category of “Engineering Fundamentals”.

Electrical Engineering,Agricultural Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Food Science and Technology, MechanicalEngineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Civil Engineering, Materials Science andEngineering and Technology Planning and Development Unit (TPDU).All the departments (except TPDU) offer undergraduate degrees. Many departments also offergraduate degrees (MS, MPhil and PhD) in their fields.This paper focuses on the development of a new BS curriculum for the Department of Electronicand Electrical Engineering. We also discuss some unique challenges of an engineering school ina developing country.The Old BSEEE Curriculum at OAUThe original BSEEE curriculum was introduced at the beginning of the program. This curriculumwas patterned after
aided design which is primarily geared todrafting; this is supplemented further by courses in automation and computer integratedmanufacturing. As a part of the curriculum, there are courses on mechanics of materialsand engineering materials (metals and plastics), and also on electronics andinstrumentation. There is some emphasis on design for quality through courses in qualitycontrol and design of experiments. The capstone projects do however, focus on variousaspects of design, namely design for manufacturability as well as design for assembly.However, the perspectives of design, as such are not uniformly and strictly emphasized ina traditional manufacturing engineering technology curriculum. Furthermore, in theprogram at the author’s
