An example shown in Appendix A shows thesubtopics deemed necessary for students to understand the operation and design of IntegratedCMOS RF amplifiers. The detailed subtopics as listed on the Major Topic Area Organization Form are moreeasily developed once they have been identified. The results of this development are then usedto complete a Subtopic Organization Form, as example of which is shown in Appendix B.

solved using CFXsoftware.Textbook The number of textbooks on CFD is becoming much larger as the subject of CFDbecomes an integral part of the engineering curriculum. The book by John Anderson1 was chosenas the text for the course because its contents were better suited to the undergraduate studentsand it is also adopted for similar CFD courses in other universities. However, the book does notaddress the theoretical concepts and examples concerning the finite volume method except in thesolution manual. The finite volume method is widely used in industry-leading CFD softwaresuch as FLUENT and Star-CD. Thus, the book by Versteeg and Malalasekera6 was used as asupplemental text on the topic of finite volume method. In addition, the chapter
as an effective method for providing hands-on experiences and fosteringlearning in diverse engineering disciplines [1,2]. Additionally, the integration of physicalexperimentation with virtual simulations has the potential to improve students' educationaloutcomes [3]. Introducing simulation tools like LTSpice from Analog Devices or Multisim fromNational Instruments is almost standard practice in ECE programs. However, this introductionusually happens at the earliest on the Sophomore level during the fundamentals of circuitanalysis courses.Introducing such powerful but also complex tools at the freshman level, especially for the firstengineering course, is problematic.

idea presented in this project of integrating LEDs underneath each square to show thepossible moves.Idea/Solution The solution presented in this paper for the stated problems is to implement an electronicchessboard that incorporates the use of LEDs under each playing square. It is designed to beutilized primarily as a teaching tool that shows the possible moves for an individual piece andserve as a form of error detection and avoidance. The user would be allowed to participateactively in the game and learn at the same time. The solution also has an optional clock for players who wish to play timed games. Toeliminate the aforementioned lag time, the player’s clock will automatically stop when a move iscompleted, and identified as

PDI students typically receive a dual-degree(usually in STS and engineering), and the curriculum is built upon a foundation ofinterdisciplinary design studios, where technical, social, and aesthetic concerns are dealt withsimultaneously by faculty representing disciplines in engineering, STS, and arts/architecture.The paper reviews the PDI curricular structure as well as pedagogical experimentationsurrounding PDI studios, highlighting the role of theoretical contributions from STS and howthese are integrated into product design pedagogy.

The subsequent advancements in open-source 3Dprinting software has also propagated this revolution in the availability of these systems to alarger audience. Many high schools have access to a 3D Printer and use it for projects or embedits utilization in their curriculum. However, teachers continue to lack adequate training in 3Dprinting systems 3.There are several outreach activities
. Course DevelopmentA Curriculum Context and Course ObjectivesIn our ECET curriculum, there are a few existing courses pertaining to the computer securitycourse. They are Computer Networks, Wireless Communications and Networks, Computersecurity discussion may be involved those courses, and we believe that it will be much better tointroduce the security topics systematically in this course. This will allow students be aware thatsecurity is an integral part of computer and network applications. Besides the technical solutionto secure computer systems, topics related to social engineering such as ethics and laws can bediscussed in-depth as well.As an integral part of computer engineering technology program, the primary goal of this coursewas to

In 2008, France implemented new science education standard“the new curriculum for primary school”[10], including discovery-oriented curriculum forprimary students, experiment-oriented for junior high students, and integration-orientedcurriculum for senior-high students. Japan's recent education reform was in 2008, with afocus on emphasizing scientific inquiry methods and life-related problem solving activities.At the 2013 Global STEMx Education Conference, Finland, Australia, New Zealand andother countries have participated to discuss science education for new era. Along with scienceeducation reform, original meaning of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering

Thus, even with similar knowledge on the settings for ESI educationwithin a program, individuals may have differing opinions on what level of ESI education issufficient.A number of the write-in comments to the open-ended question regarding broad thoughts on ESIeducation advocated for an ethics across the curriculum approach, and it seems reasonable thatfaculty with those beliefs would make this effort in their own courses. One example comment is: “Ethics is a very broad topic and I feel, much like it's subtopic of safety, it is best integrated across the curriculum rather than in a single course. In this way students do not compartmentalize ethics into a philosophical and case study
