undergraduate program in Computational Mathematics hasbeen recently approved. The trend seems to be that most of the students wishing to pursue thedegree program are engineering students interested in pursuing a dual major. The challengesfaced by the department are 1) to offer these dual majors an integrated curriculum that wouldtake advantage of their engineering background and 2) to offer a curriculum which will enablethem to complete the degree within one additional year without compromising the integrity ofthe program. In this paper, the authors discuss in detail their Computational Mathematicscurriculum and the modification of the curriculum for the dual majors.IntroductionComputational Mathematics is a multidisciplinary field that applies the

Thesedevices can be integrated with various optoelectronic devices to provide photonic integratedcircuits with increased functionality. They are widely used in lasers, photodetectors, modulators,and switches. QW also operates much faster with much less manufacturing costs.

In fact, fifty percent ofour junior/senior level computer systems courses have used Motorola’s 68HC11 exclusivelyeither in conjunction with an evaluation board or as a single, stand-alone controller. We arecurrently in the process of migrating from the 68HC11 to the 68HC12 within our computersystems courses.

engineering colleagues are rarelyaware of this conceptual integration.

Clarkson Project-Based Learning Partnership ProgramAt the beginning of the year, the students were posed with a problem statement: Too much solidwaste generated in the school cafeteria is sent to a landfill. Wording of the problem we posedwas critical in order to guide the students in the direction we wanted to go. Composting becamean obvious solution for biodegradable wastes, while non-biodegradable materials wereincorporated into concrete. These solutions provided the students with an understanding thatthey can reduce solid waste, as well as providing a topic that can be integrated into their requiredcore curriculum. Over the course of the year, the students learned about solid waste, the scienceof composting and concrete, built and used compost

Design tasks include all facets of the traditional civil engineering program, such as site planning and layout, sewer and water infrastructure, water supply, wastewater treatment, buildings, transportation systems, channel design, floodplain analysis, and geotechnical work.

A strong curriculum that integrates all the previous factors well, isrequired for any successful engineering education.On a student’s perspective, an effective design-based curriculum involves a strong integration ofengineering theory and provision of context, as they are discussed in this model. It is difficult tolearn abstract concepts, especially within the first few years of study, when the rationale isunclear.
