. This Department has interests on Electrical and Computer Engineering, andis responsible for a degree on Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering, as well as aMaster´s degree on the same area. The faculty of the Department is composed by over sixty professors and lecturers (23 withPh.D. degrees). Annually, the Department receives around 150 undergraduate students, and over50 graduate students. The total number of students in the Department is over one thousand. Recently, we have reformulated the curriculum of the Engineering degree, which is fiveyears long (ten semesters) and has the following structure: Area Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Mathematics

This paper explores potentials and issues of collaboratingwith Chinese engineering schools from a curriculum perspective. By comparing and contrastingthe curriculum of our electrical and computer engineering technology program (TAC of ABETaccredited) at Western Carolina University with that from a representative Chinese university,the following findings are presented in the paper: 1) Because of the administrative structure in China’s higher education system, the engineering curricula are centrally controlled to certain extent by China’s Ministry of Higher Education. Therefore, analysis of an engineering curriculum from one representative university can

). • Students engage with the lab classes (MOA: ~80% of the students reliably participate in the labs, see Appendix A); enjoy the course (MOA: student feedback, interaction in the labs, see Appendix B); and are SE-tool literate (MOA: time to get new tools working in the labs reduces significantly over the course).Seen from the overall curriculum perspective, teaching (selected) SECs in the first yearprovides a broad view on software development early on. This is beneficial as it • avoids a narrow-minded view on Computer Science in which programming is perceived as “the centre of the universe”; • illustrates abstract mathematical concepts in terms of SECs: ordering relations, equivalence relations, graph theory, and

main topics of the curriculum.I. IntroductionThe engineering design graphics curriculum is at a crossroads. Computer technology is enablingengineers and technicians to design and manufacture parts without relying on two-dimensionaldrawings. The curricula at many universities and community colleges still spend a great deal oftime focusing on 2D documentation drawings. This is even truer at the high school level. There areseveral possible reasons why some programs have not changed to a curriculum that focuses onconstraint-based, three-dimensional solids modeling. One obstacle to this type of change has beenthe cost of hardware and software. Some constraint-based programs can cost tens of thousands ofdollars and cannot realistically be purchased
