The department recentlymade significant changes to the undergraduate curriculum with support from a grant from theNational Science Foundation’s Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (RED) program. Thevision of the this ECE RED project was to transform the program so that it would attract a morediverse group of students and prepare them for a broader range of careers than the department’sprevious program had done. In the previous program, once a student chose between the electricalengineering (EE) or computer engineering (CPE) degree, they had a fixed set of courses to takewith no choices

The main goal of all these activities is toplant the seed about technology and engineering in the minds of the young participants.Therefore, a variety of sessions take place in order to show them new technical concepts and tochallenge them to make use of those concepts. For the high-school students, the activities duringthe residential institutes are in the context of emulating a typical design process in industry, fromconcept to prototype. This product development process is valuable because it corresponds withthe type of interpersonal communication, problem-solving, and conflict resolution skills thatleading firms and industry seek from new employees.
