It states that the technical specialty must be between 1/3 and2/3 of the total program.1 Also:“The technical content of the curriculum consists of a technical core and the increasinglycomplex technical specialties found later in the curriculum. The technical core must provide theprerequisite foundation of knowledge necessary for the technical specialties.Technical courses must develop student knowledge and competence in the use if standard designpractices, tools, techniques, and computer hardware and software appropriate to the disciplineand goals of the program.” 1There are also

The new curriculum for the Department ofAerospace Engineering Sciences (AES) was reformed in content and a new teaching andlearning paradigm was introduced. Course content reform primarily focused on horizontalintegration of the engineering sciences, hands-on experiments, and design in a teamingenvironment. There is a renewed emphasis on the implicitness of computing andcommunications. The MATLAB programming environment is incorporated into most coursesand writing and presentation skills are emphasized. The Integrated Teaching and LearningLaboratory* (ITLL) made the reforms realizable

atdifferent rates at different times, and historically, the undergraduate curriculum has changedconcurrently. With the exception of incorporation of advances in computational technology, thechemical engineering curriculum has more or less remained stagnant for a generation. Thereforechanges are needed. However, it may not be possible to add new content without removingsome existing content and still maintain a four-year degree. The question being debated is whatshould be added and what can be removed. The U.S. chemical industry has not experienced much growth in several decades; in fact, it isprobably contracting as more capacity is transferred overseas.

In this fivefoldstructure, the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department organizes its facultyexpertise and even its assigned course numbers. To illustrate this structure, the ECEDepartment’s undergraduate course offerings are listed in Table 1, sorted by area of study.
