from high school1. In orderto remain competitive innovators on a global scale, we need to create more interest andexcitement about STEM fields at the high school level. In order to motivate students, STEMtopics need to be approached in ways that are relevant and interesting to high school students.One proposed method is to connect everyday technology to scientific and mathematicalconcepts. This has been done before through the INFINITY Project, which pioneeredcollaboration between high schools, universities, and industry to create a project-basedengineering curriculum2.Music technology, as shown by its inclusion in the INFINITY project, is a potential topic formotivating students into STEM fields. Music is an integral part of students’ daily

Assessing the connectivity of an Electrical and Computer Engineering Curriculum AbstractProgram level assessment is done by combining the contributions from several units within theprogram at designated time intervals. 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. Although course level assessment uses most ofthe resources under assessment and is considered an essential feedback path in making thecurricular changes, very little effort has been devoted to reliable measures of student learning asthey go through a sequence

requires the students to determine the area between therobot and an irregular wall as the autonomous robot travels along a defined track. Prior toexecution of this assignment, the students receive instruction in the fundamental nature ofintegration. Specifically, the lectures focus on the fact that integration determines theaccumulation of a quantity (in this case area) and that the integration process subdivides thedomain of integration into smaller manageable sections. In the limit, as the number ofsubdivisions goes to infinity, the integral is reached.A very similar robot chassis to that of the Trigonometry lab is used, shown in Figure 4, which isequipped with an ultrasonic distance transducer and wheels as opposed to the treads used

In addition to this, the threerobots attached to this cell and a fourth stand-alone one are used in the instruction of robotics,including applications, programming and interfacing. This cell finally provides the students withan opportunity to integrate together what they have learned in the course into a functionalautomation cell. In many automation courses students tend to the different skills independentlyand rarely have a chance to integrate the components of automation. This cell therefore

This modular approach emphasizes the process concepts,but lacks interconnectivity and integration of novel computational tools such as simulationpackages, statistical analysis tools and technical writing skills. At Oklahoma State University,one goal in chemical engineering education is to encourage students to connect conceptsdeveloped in multiple courses, and generate comprehensive solutions to engineering problems.The UOL is an ideal course to integrate all chemical engineering curriculum skills as well as thetechnical tools that are routinely used in the

This approachis the model-based design counterpart to the “Design Spine” discussed by Sheppard et al.6 whorethought the curriculum at Stevens Institute of Technology to emphasize design throughout allfour years.

typical classroom setting, Model-Based Design is not formallytaught in the conventional undergraduate curriculum. Students are indeed exposed to buildingmodels as part of a typical control design curriculum; however, the emphasis of such courses isnot on teaching the rationale behind and fundamentals of adopting Model-Based Design andapplying it to engineering systems. Students learn about pieces of subsystem development,focusing on specific bits of the whole without appreciating the impact a piece or subsystem canhave on the total system.To date, academics have preferred to introduce an understanding and mastery of the “buildingblocks” before putting them into context.

However,due to the recent ABET requirements and other curriculum issues, many universities areconsidering to integrate these courses into a single one. In fact, a common recent trend [1] is toteach an integrated course, which includes concepts of statics and basic solid mechanics.

Otherwise, it will become verydifficult to design tomorrow’s complex embedded systems. The process of updating thecurriculums requires a close interaction with industry to provide the right focus. In this paper,the authors have done an international study of the curriculums in other institutions of highereducation to decide how to integrate embedded systems design in their curriculum in thecomputer science department.

Engineering knowledge and skillsare in high demand for local and global knowledge economies and provide individuals access tosocial and economic mobility. However, basic engineering education is inaccessible to manystudents in low-income and low-resource areas. Educational technology may be one componentof a solution that addresses access and equity.The curriculum focuses on science and engineering problem solving within real world contexts.We adopt the Integrated Course Design for Outcome-Based Education approach1 for this design.This curriculum
