First what are the requirements of a program in manufacturingengineering technology? According to ABET each program must have published educationalobjectives. They also must have a program that includes a curriculum that enables graduates toobtain these objectives.1 There is a list of various program outcomes that must be met. Thecurriculum must “provide an integrated educational experience that develops the ability ofgraduates to apply pertinent knowledge to solving problems in the engineering technologyspecialty”1.

helpful for the effort of theConnecticut Nanotechnology Curriculum Committee.1. IntroductionNowadays, the technology advancement has the trend of making things smaller andsmaller. Taking VLSI technology as an example, the feature size of a CMOS transistor isshrunk to deep submicron or nanometer domain. A state-of-the-art Intel CPU chip maycontain millions or even billions of transistors. As the VLSI technology continue tobecome smaller and smaller, people are also considering shrinking the size of mechanicalcomponents (mirrors, gears, pumps, etc.) to microns and integrating them with VLSIcircuits into a system. MEMS and nanotechnology are exactly the enabling technologiesfor this dream. MEMS mainly deal with things in the scale of 1µm~1000µm

Information Systems (IS) field is witnessing a rapid change due to the continuousadvances in technology. Consequently, academic institutions need to frequently update the IScurriculum to remain current. An important yet unpopular part of the curriculum is problemsolving and programming. As students encounter difficulties in understanding the concepts ofprogramming, a number of colleges attempt to solve the issue by introducing differentprogramming languages. Currently, Java is the programming language of choice for industry andacademic institutions. However, Java is not easy to learn even for non-novice programmers. Inthis paper, we propose a sequence of IS courses that emphasizes the problem solving componentprior to introducing the syntax and

This assessment leads to squeezing in additional courses, often at the expense ofrequiring additional credits beyond that for a typical Bachelors degree.
