The demographics of the particular student population and theirimmediate careers suggested that most students would not pursue graduate studies in computerengineering, nor would they seek employment related to design and manufacture of IntegratedCircuit components. As a result, a much broader and deeper study of modern digital designmethodologies has not been a necessity. The informal feedback received from recent graduates inthe industry has validated the adopted approaches while those pursuing graduate studies appreciatethe depth of the curriculum as well.At undergraduate level, digital designs described in HDL can start at two main different abstractionlevels: at the schematic level, or at the

Little research explores the ways inwhich parents and elementary teachers, whose science and math skills are often lacking, mightsubtly (or explicitly) influence children’s interest and achievement in science and math.Research and intervention projects since How Schools Shortchange Girls1 indicate patterns ofprogress in improved instruction and innovative learning opportunities.2 Still, many brightstudents, particularly women and minorities, choose not to pursue engineering careers.3 AsHalpern et al.4 assert the differences in male and female expectations and choices regardingSTEM learning are much more complex than previously assumed.

, improving access to clean water, and enhancing virtual reality. In itsreport, “Educating the Engineer of 2020,” the NAE contends that solving problems, such asthose posed in the Grand Challenges, will require more than just providing students withtechnical training. An engineering education must, it is argued, produce graduates who combinetechnical excellence with a multitude of other skills including communication, teaming, ethicalreasoning, and contextual analysis1. Yet, without exposure to real-world applications in thecontext of a technical education, students may neither develop these important skills nor gainsufficient motivation to pursue careers in engineering. A key finding within the currentengineering education literature is that

Neither the industry nor the alumni expected thatBachelor’s degree graduates would be able to operate in research and development.Instead, they would act as assistants, laboratory or test bed supervisors, ordesigners; to be responsible for technical documentation or customer care. Only aMaster’s degree would qualify them to become fully fledged engineers who couldbear project responsibility and work autonomously on new technological researchand development.Two further questions were also significant in the design of the new curricula: How important and useful was the knowledge gained in a diploma degree of study for the graduates when starting their career? How important and useful was the

They define the purpose of the program, what career paths the graduates ought to successfully be able to navigate, and suggest the kind of preparation that is required for those career path, i.e., they provide a deliberateness to the educational effort of the program. 2. A program should have program outcomes in the form of a knowledge base and defined capabilities of its students at the time of graduation.
