IntroductionDigital hardware design has been considered as core education contents for ElectricalEngineering Technology (EET) programs for more than two decades. As a result, a whole set ofmethodologies, such as truth table, canonical sum-of-products expressions, and Karnaugh mapsfor combinational circuit, and finite state machine, state diagram, state table, and stateassignment for sequential circuit, have been well-developed to analyze and design digitalcircuits1. However, because the complexity to design a digital circuit increases exponentiallywith the number of gates used

As a consequence, understanding the landscape ofthese standards is a crucial precursor to making sense of and improving CS education in theUS.While there have been studies of engineering education standards more broadly [1–3], researchfocused more specifically on computer science learning standards is much less common. A 2010report from the Association for Computing Machinery and CSTA explored whether and how CSwas included in state standards [4].

In fact, it reinforces thegoals of accreditation; of the eleven criteria required under ABET Criterion 3, stating therequirements for engineering graduates, IP knowledge would be included in seven, including “anability to design,” “a knowledge of contemporary issues,” and “an understanding of professionaland ethical responsibility.” IP encompasses design and identifies the latest contemporary issuesassociated with engineering. More importantly, it is an engineer’s professional and ethicalresponsibility to research claims prior to publication or use. Also, it the engineering educator’sresponsibility to teach future engineers how to protect his or her rights of creation. For example
