The Internet-of-Things promises to drastically changeseveral aspects of our lives, from the way business is conducted to how we go about otherwiseroutine day to day activities. This oncoming revolution will create a workforce need that those inSTEM education fields must work now to fill via efforts to broaden participation in electrical andcomputer engineering. In particular, this specialized future workforce will have to be bolsteredthrough K-12 outreach and recruitment of students from traditionally underrepresented groups inengineering.In this paper, we

This vision was articulated through the definition of a curriculum model based onthe desired attributes of engineering graduates. It was desired that the graduates of thiscurriculum be technically competent, critical and creative thinkers, life-long learners, effectivecommunicators, team players, and globally aware. They should understand process and systemsdesign and integration, display high ethical standards, and appreciate the social context ofengineering and industry business practices. The curriculum model was designed to develop thesequalities through changes in the curriculum

Guidelines for GUI design are taken from Coad [9] and Schneiderman [17].Our pattern of presentation is to engage the students in discussion of an initial model, then showand explain an instructor’s solution, and then work through an in-class exercise. The in-classexercises are learning unit number four. The typical in-class exercise is that (except for the firstuse-case model) the class has some prior component models.

He then said they were not going to offer thecourse anymore after that year. Why? In large part because the student success rate was so lowthat it wasn’t worth the time investment, either for the professor or the students. The reason forthis, he explained, was that students would sign up and then not bother to do the work and finishthe course.

To tackle the dwindling enrollment of STEM students andlow quality of STEM graduates, the National Science Board submitted a report to Congress in 2009suggesting all students need to develop their capabilities in STEM to levels much beyond what wasconsidered acceptable in the past with an increased emphasis on technology and engineering at alllevels in the Nation’s education system [Bee01].There is a need to change the perception of STEM education. STEM education cannot be viewed asteaching four unrelated subject matters.

But beyond this first task Drew writes, “[.. ] shouldn’t we want astudents and others to acquire knowledge, not simply process information.

Title 5 § 40508 [1] states that “[a]s of the fall term of the 2014-2015 academic year, no baccalaureate degree programs shall extend the unit requirement beyond 120 semester units…” This mandate and short timeline for implementation necessitated swift action for proposals to be submitted and approved via campus curriculum committees and
