The students were todesign and build as well as use off-the-self components. The products of the three student teamsare then integrated into an existing device, Mariner, to give it added capabilities. Marinerconsists of a marine platform used for monitoring fish habitat parameters in the Red Sea. Thestudents have made several public poster presentations throughout the year to both sharpen theircommunication skills and seek input.

in Electrical and ComputerEngineeringAbstractThis paper describes an NSF-sponsored department level curriculum reform project in theElectrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Utah. The project focuseson developing system-level design projects (mostly labs, but a few software-only projects) thatintegrate ideas within a class, between classes, and in some cases between disciplines. Writtenand oral communication is also stressed throughout this program. Materials are available for useby other educators via the PI (Furse) or the website1.IntroductionThis paper reports on a department level curriculum reform project to integrate system-leveldesign projects throughout an otherwise relatively traditional undergraduate

This integration is viewed as an essential step toproduce engineering graduates with skills that make them competitive in the global workforce.Typically, the courses in the ECE curriculum are taught as discrete units in relative isolation ofeach other.

The effort started in academic year 2011 – 2012 with two required lab-basedECE courses and one lecture-based design elective course. For academic year 2012 –2013 the effort has been expanded to include four additional lecture-based courses.Students enrolled in the Junior EE Lab sequence, EE Lab I (EE 319) and EE Lab IIa (EE323), are required to develop a budget for each lab experiment. The budget is an estimateon the costs associated with performing the lab experiment. Students

The intent is to offer suggestions on howto revise the ECE curriculum to; 1) help future graduating ECE engineers work in aglobal environment, and 2) strengthen areas of ECE that are not likely to be outsourced,and to minimize focus of areas of the ECE discipline that are most likely to beoutsourced. These recommendations will in no way weaken the fundamental requirementfor understanding basic ECE principles, but are merely an attempt to structure the ECEcurriculum to be more resilient to outsourcing, so that ECE graduates in the United Stateshave expertise that are not easily outsourced and can compete in a global environment.Research of what’s being currently outsourced clearly identifies the need for USengineering

Course level assessment is one of those units and is usuallydone within a course using tests, homework, projects, presentations etc. without looking at theconnected courses and their learning outcomes.

In this configuration, the beginningstudent is not aware that the board does not have an integrated discrete processor.Using the soft core processor approach allows the instructor to control the features, and in turnthe concepts presented in the class or lab.

We provide such an overview of standards below forboth engineering and neuroscience. We also note that the comparative theme of human(brain/body) and artificial (Lego) robotics used in the curriculum is not only interdisciplinary andengaging, but also enables inclusion of science, mathematics
