The program isstructured in a 2+2 model; students participate in a 2-year foundation curriculum that includes arange of courses across engineering disciplines, the sciences, mathematics, design andcomplementary studies. This is followed by a 2-year specialization curriculum, during whichstudents take one of 8 (at publication time) Majors. Curriculum integration and multidisciplinarythinking are emphasized as program goals.The Majors have a focus, although not exclusively, on emerging and rapidly developing areas ofspecialization within engineering. Some of the Majors that are offered within the EngineeringScience program are also offered in other institutions/programs (like Aerospace Engineering,Biomedical Engineering and Electrical &

The change process started in a Fall 2013 ABET retreatwhere faculty and staff participated in two thought exercises. For the first exercise, each personwas asked to “write down the traits or behaviors you would look for if you were asked to identifya successful ... graduate five years after graduation.” Some example cards are shown in Figure 1.The second exercise asked each person to “describe the best undergraduate degree program inelectrical or computer engineering in the country

Course content and deliverymethods should be structured to meet the demands and challenges of such a dynamic,interdisciplinary and complex applied science field. Laboratory work is a critical component ofthe engineering education, and a core component of technical programs. Unfortunately, in therenewable energy case, the equipment is expensive, in terms of acquisition and maintenance,requiring adequate space and utility access. To cope with such challenges we are proposing inthe next academic year to develop a virtual renewable energy laboratory, consisting of

While a significant number of our engineering and computerscience faculty participated in these development opportunities, in general their enthusiasmrelated to entrepreneurial minded learning (EML) was not strong enough to sustain and furtherbroaden EML within the college.
