We argue,however, that an introduction to nonlinear systems is both desirable and feasible at theundergraduate level as a natural extension of the Harvard calculus reform and the BostonUniversity differential equations project3 and as a follow-up to linear signals and systems coursesadopted at the turn of the century by many undergraduate electrical engineering programs4.Specifically, our goal is to develop a course at the junior level of Electrical Engineering that cancomplement and reinforce the curriculum by providing an accessible methodology for

One practical reason is that ABET general engineeringcriteria target the social aspects of engineering education at several levels. In addition to criterion3(c), “an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs,” criterion 3(d)addresses the need to function on multidisciplinary teams, criterion 3(f) social and ethicalresponsibilities, criterion 3(g) communication skills, and criterion (h) addresses global and socialimpact.

This is the currentsituation, for example, at Texas A&M and Rose Hulman Institute of Technology, two of themore progressive engineering schools. Thus the sophomore and junior years typically are notchanged significantly from the traditional model. Attempts to develop a multidisciplinaryperspective by using mixed teams in senior design projects is too little, too late to truly developthe broader view. By this time the students have already adopted the strong disciplinaryperspective modeled by faculty mentors.Another approach taken by a few schools has been to eliminate traditional discipline-specificprograms in favor of a broad-based general engineering program.
