Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) seems to agree; the 2000 “a-k” criteria5 call for a design rich curriculum and contemporary, real-world educationalmethodology. Beginning in the early 1990's, but specifically during the last few years, engineeringeducators have been modifying the curriculum by initiating courses and projects that fosterin their students advanced thinking skills and an understanding of creative and inventiveprocesses. Once predictable engineering classrooms are experiencing a (perhaps overdue)transition to a more holistic, multi-disciplinary educational ethos that has traditionally beenenjoyed by students of the arts and humanities. Student learning experiences varydramatically from classroom to classroom and

with the current state of technology3.In the early 1960’s, heat removal rates ranged typically from 0.1 to 0.3 W2. The SemiconductorIndustry Association estimates that rates for 3.5 GHz chips used in servers and workstations willreach 160W in 20064. Air cooling is the most common technique used to cool electronics.Innovative air cooling techniques allowed heat dissipation rates of 60-70 W by the late 1990s2.However, the point has been reached when many industries have had to look to high-capacitycooling technologies rather than air cooling. One high-capacity cooling technology, liquidcooling, has been used for many years by such companies as Cray (using immersion in liquidnitrogen) and IBM and Honeywell (in their water-cooled mainframes

deployment.Despite repeated attempts to recover the spacecraft by the cadet-faculty operations team,the mission was declared a loss after only one month [3].Although it was considered a technical failure, FS-1 represented an academic success forthe program because cadets participated from “cradle to grave” in a real-world missionwith an all too real-world outcome. Cadets designed and built FS-1’s payload andsubsystems, which were integral in the mission operations from devising operations plansto participating in the launch campaign. Cadets also manned the Academy’s groundstation during overhead passes of a satellite not operating under normal conditions.Cadets involved with trouble-shooting the anomalies soon after deployment certainlygained deep insight

these, some colleges run classes on weekends or in the evenings. Thisonly partially satisfies the need for some people, as there are still some who have difficultygetting to a college campus. Many universities have responded by developing distance education,a means of delivering academically rigorous courses to students in their own homes. A goodexample of this is The Open University in the United Kingdom, which was established in the late1960’s. Since then, distance education has gone through significant development. This includesdelivering distance eduction in science and engineering.1,2Australia is a large continent with a population of around 20 million people.

This list is rather lengthy, and inevitably in a hybridprogram some topics from both electrical and computer engineering will not be addressed.Nevertheless, having such a list is helpful in designing the ECE curriculum. Also quite helpful isanother, more general statement from the same reference on the desired characteristics of allComputer Engineering graduates: 1. System Level Perspective Graduates must appreciate the concept of a computer system and the processes involved in constructing or analyzing it. They must have an understanding of its operation that goes to a greater depth than a mere external appreciation of what the system does or the way(s) in which it

Statistics?Statistical methods of data analysis are valuable tools to chemical engineers in both research andin industrial practice. Consider this quote from a recent National Science Foundation programannouncement (italics added). “Projects must use appropriate quantitative methods, and teamsshould include individual(s) with demonstrated expertise in the quantitative methods to be used.Quantitative methods may include: conceptual, mathematical or computational models; computersimulation; artificial intelligence techniques; hypothesis testing; statistics; visualization; ordatabase development. Mathematical models must include estimates of uncertainty, andexperiments should assess power and precision.” “Six-Sigma”, the currently popular
