Challenge: Finding a Complementary Balance of Depth and Breadth in an Engineering Curriculum -- Approach of the Electrical Engineering FacultyAbstractThe faculty of the School of Engineering conducted a thorough review of its ABET-accreditedundergraduate degree programs to assess and evaluate possible changes to our curricula, bothSchool-wide and ones specific to our programs. The aim of the intensive year-long study was tomaintain the principal strengths of depth, yet allow more opportunities for students to gainadditional breadth in preparation for success in a wide range of professional careers during theincreasingly global nature of engineering in the 21st century.As engineering educators, we are certainly aware

However, there is reluctance to adopt a WATPS due to a lack of class time, time toprepare, and incentives; student resistance; and the faculty researcher/teacher identity tension [7],[8], [9], [10].A forced change requires instructors to adapt their teaching practices. Forced changes comeabout as a result of pandemics and natural and humanitarian disasters as well as accreditationmodifications and department and university unilateral academic policy decisions. In all of theseexamples of forced change, the motivation for change is external and may be time sensitive. Oneexample of a forced change was the COVID-19 pandemic; it provided an external reason

Herzig’s13 examination of the experiences ofgraduate women in mathematics is instructive on these issues. Herzig13 notes that students whoare more integrated into the academic and social communities of their departments are morelikely to persist in graduate school. Faculty play an important role as mentors and as agents ofsocialization for graduate students; moreover, negative interactions with faculty have pervasiveeffects on women in science.  Women described their limited or negative relationships withfaculty, including: feeling

Higher education rarelydevelops the capacity of its leaders in an intentional way: “colleges and universities, unlike manysimilarly sized corporations, do not view talent development as a strategic priority” [4]. Thecomplexity of higher education, as well as the increased demands and challenges, require betterprepared leaders.
