In a large state (Texas, for example) with a large program and a more diverse set ofchemical engineering employers, departments can offer training appropriate to differentindustries. I believe that the curriculum of the future will focus on one or two areas (processengineering, biotechnology, nanotechnology, energy, for example) and only provide anintroduction to other areas. Several model curricula are suggested. Table 1 contains a suggestedtraditional chemical engineering curriculum. This is what many programs do now. The modernareas are not ignored, but are

A final recommendation was made in January 1995 to terminate the threeengineering technology degree programs and to replace them with a single B.S.E degree. Theprogram was to be built with no separable majors and was to be consistent with goals set forth inthe ASEE report, Engineering Education for a Changing World, (Fall 1994).2 The University ofTennessee system also imposed the requirement that the program be unique and different fromany other engineering program in the state.

Factors supporting this excellence include perceived competence (or self-efficacy),student effort, and student interest/enjoyment. Results also suggest that this approach had abeneficial effect upon achievement in women and minority groups. The assessment effortincluded the analysis of data drawn from validated instruments that measured various factorscorrelated with course grades and comparative course-completion rates.Prior WorkA Bloom-based cognitive curriculum was defined for the introductory programming sequence in1994.12 This framework was based upon the six levels of

This increase in enrollment hasseveral challenges associated with it, including: classroom space, sufficient faculty/instructors anddemand for lab space, among others [1]. One challenge that still needs further investigation isthe declining student performance possibly due to the large number of students entering programswho may not be well prepared to undertake courses in CS/IT/SE. This specific challenge is furthercompounded by the fact that most academic institutions are being rewarded based on performancemetrics such as 4-year graduation rates.To overcome the challenge related to a potential decline in student performance, it is
