Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) established theJoint Task Force on Computing Curricula 2001 (CC2001) to undertake a major review ofcurriculum guidelines for undergraduate programs in computing. The effort was to match thelatest developments of computing technologies in the past decade and last through the nextdecade [1]. The “Computing Curriculum 1991” [2] and other previous efforts of the IEEE-CSand ACM did not distinguish computer science from computer engineering programs. TheIEEE-CS and ACM established the Computing Curriculum - Computer Engineering (CCCE)Task Force in 2001 to develop a separate volume on computer engineering curricula tocomplement the CC2001 report.

The curriculum is designed in modular form to allow for maximumflexibility, with material and expert input from industrial representatives and academicfaculty alike. The product – 46 discrete, two-part teaching and learning modules (Table1) – is available to GWEC industry members and education partners for inclusion and/orincorporation into current curricula

After determining the possibilityof another failure, the students of CE415 provided reinforcement solutions. The importance of project-based coursework is essential to the department’s curriculum and the development of industry readyprofessionals. In addition, the project assisted the owner in performing a slope stability analysis anddesigning retaining structures for the bank slope.

Instead, focus on how conservation laws in the Laplace domain can be arranged to yield key information about process behaviors through parameters like gains and time constants. ≠ Bringing in computing tools too early or too late.
