In developing this program we sought a low risk strategy that couldbe implemented within the existing resources of the department, extending the strengths of theexisting electrical engineering program to the new computer engineering program. Ourplanning also had to anticipate the task of meeting ABET self assessment requirements for twodegree programs. Key elements of our program include using area requirements instead ofspecific course requirements for electives, a two semester senior design project, and a co-opprogram which affords a year of industrial experience before the senior year. This paperfocuses on the curriculum design process, including the trade-offs and rationale that lead to

But by1990 the large enrollments of the computer science program had declined dramatically due atleast in part to a nationwide down cycle. Simultaneously, the computer science department chairleft the university for a different job and several computer science faculty were nearingretirement. After the departments were combined, a program director in computer science washired to replace the former department chair.

Together we have designed acurriculum that will be taught outside of class time and will introduce the students to somefundamental concepts of computer programming. There are three sessions offered to the firstyear students, each is one hour long and focused on a limited topic set. The topics which we areusing to introduce the fundamentals of programming are: (a) variables, output and the “if”statement; (b) loops (while and for) and input; and (c) function calls. The curriculum is based ona “show and do” method. The teaching team prepared a set of simple programs that the first yearstudents ran and then modified in order to gain some skill and insight into how the programmingsequence works.This year is
