developing a survey to investigate the new curriculum and initiate the process ofgenerating the curriculum subspaces. The survey was developed by the contribution of facultymembers from different non-EE engineering disciplines of Michigan Tech. Non-EE facultymembers collaborated with EE faculty members to identify the topics that might be suitable fortheir engineering field. The survey also searches for new fields and topics that might be suitablefor non-EE students. The survey was placed on-line, and its URL was submitted to manyuniversities in the US and filled by students and faculty members across the country. This surveywas distributed to students (graduate and undergraduate) and to faculty of all non-EE majors atMichigan Tech as well. The

Development of an Assessment Plan for a New Sequence of Design CoursesAbstractA new sequence of mechanical design courses was developed at California State University,Northridge to improve the integration of design concepts into the mechanical engineeringcurriculum. The new courses were created using the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate(CDIO) framework as the context for engineering education. Key goals of the new sequence areto increase student performance and retention, particularly in the first two years of the program.Courses in the new sequence were part of a significant mechanical engineering program change,and are being offered for the first time in the Fall 2009 semester.
