During thatworkshop, a detailed list of learning objectives for beginning, intermediate, and advancedlearners across a variety of EML constructs was created.

Again, a faculty member who was a researcher in the first phase of work was included inthe course activity development and assessment team. This allowed continuity between thephases of the projects.

Currently, many undergraduate andfirst-year graduate students in the aforementioned fields do not have exposure to recent researchtrends in Machine Learning. This paper reports on a project in progress, funded by the NationalScience Foundation under the program Combined Research and Curriculum Development(CRCD), whose goal is to remedy this shortcoming. The project involves the development of amodel for the integration of Machine Learning into the undergraduate curriculum of thoseengineering and science disciplines mentioned above.

plays a large role in defining the culture under which the academic side ofhigher education functions. Furthermore, once a culture is established it is very difficult tochange within an organization.Therefore, rather than changing this academic culture outright, TQM concepts (such ascontinuous improvement and assessment) should be implemented within the context of theexisting culture as shaped by requirements of tenure and promotion. By tying these TQMconcepts to the existing tenure and promotion requirements of teaching, research and service,faculty will be able to focus on them as a routine function and expectation for tenure andpromotion
