Since at that timethe students had not previously been exposed to FPGAs and soft-core processors, valuable timewas spent teaching basic concepts that could reasonably be learned in lower level classes.Updating lower level courses such as the Microprocessors course was undertaken to advance theprocess of providing a foundation for the advanced level curriculum. It was also observed thatseasoned hardware engineers from the local computer engineering community were returning toschool to improve their software skills. Enhanced software development skills would not onlybenefit students in advanced digital courses that require a higher level of proficiency inprogramming, but would also increase the

However, with the start of Industry 4.0 or the 4th industrialrevolutions, the lack in skilled workers will have additional burdens added to it.

Anew program in Computer Engineering Technology (CpET) was recently approved atIUPUI to be offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer EngineeringTechnology (ECET). In the design of this new program, we studied and assessed variousvendor-sponsored certification programs and professional registration examinations. Inthis study, we identified skill-sets necessary for several generally recognized job roles incomputer networking, programming and telecommunications. We further classified andextracted exam questions into sets of high-level principles and analytical concepts basedon these different job roles. In this paper, course objectives developed

, instead of designing aproduct from scratch, is often used to improve the product and better fulfill the customers’expectations, while reducing the development time and cost. On the freshman level, it isadvisable to focus on the first area, information recovery. As one phase of evolutionary design,reverse engineering lends itself to this end. In this paper, the example of a two-cycle gas weedtrimmer subjected to reverse engineering is used to demonstrate how a freshman engineeringdesign program can benefit from evolutionary design. Evolutionary design can serve as aretention tool in freshman engineering by appealing to student interest, incorporating teamwork,recognizing the demands of industry, and demystifying the design process.1.
