to harness thispowerful technological wave for the betterment of academia.Universities have long been cognizant of the transformative potential of technology, recognizingits capacity to reshape the landscape of teaching, learning, and assessment. Embracingtechnological disruption is not merely an option for modern universities; it is imperative fordistinguishing their student offerings, boosting admissions, enhancing retention rates, andultimately delivering the desired educational outcomes [11]–[14].Preparing students for success in the ever-evolving world of work is a multifaceted endeavor. Itdemands robust academic leadership, access to a high-caliber curriculum and educationalmaterials, and the cultivation of students' proficiency in

educators have already observed that the high demand to suchnew skills could result in the shortage of qualified employees. The resolution to this potentialchallenge faced by today’s industry is through school education and industrial training. Forexample, with the availability of robotic simulation software and developed curriculum inuniversities and colleges, early education to manufacturing engineering technology can beoffered to high school students through summer camps, workshops, etc. Practice shows thatstudents’ early exposure to manufacturing simulation technology can help them understand whatmanufacturing is and purse careers in manufacturing engineering technology in the future.

Aside from some technical electives, there are not many opportunities to work with engineers from other disciplines in the curriculum. It would be great to have a Capstone project with BioE, EE or Civil students for example.” “I think something that the ME department could improve on is having students work in interdisciplinary teams.

proposes a new undergraduate electrical engineering curriculum with balanced emphasis onmajor areas in the practice of electrical engineering. The problem has its roots in the universities.Loading undergraduate curriculum with many general education courses at the expense of morespecialized engineering courses is a major factor contributing to the problem. This in turn limitsthe amount of course offerings in the area of electric power engineering and completely removeshigh voltage engineering from the map. Moreover, reducing the credit requirements of anundergraduate engineering degree to match that for a B.S. or a B.A. in liberal arts is anothermajor factor that contributes to the problem.
