Upper Division Curriculum Projects
Integrated Course Pair in Electromagnetics and Solid State Materials at Arizona State University
Electromagnetics and properties of electronic materials are two of the most challenging courses in electrical engineering. At ASU, faculty members use wave phenomena to integrate material across the two courses and offer students more realistic and challenging problems. Using wave phenomena as the central concept, the courses unite concepts, like matter waves, electromagnetic waves, and lattice vibrations, to create a strong, interdisciplinary foundation.

Design Backbone in Industrial Engineering at Arizona State University
The foundation of the new industrial engineering curriculum was built around the design process. This philosophy of a "design backbone" is to provide each student with an opportunity to develop the fundamental skills of an industrial engineer as well as allow for a customized program of study, depending on the specialization area that is chosen. The Industrial Enginering (IE) department refined/improved/integrated 4-8 courses in the process of developing the new curriculum.

Electrical and Computer Engineering Curricula at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
The junior year provides students with a broad exposure to their chosen major. Computer engineering identified hardware-related and software-related courses which would incorporate the essential components. Electrical engineering faculty created a block of nine courses covering topics in communications systems, controls, digital systems and computers, electro-magnetics, electronics, power systems and machines.

Upper Division Curriculum Development Philosophy
Partner schools in the Foundation Coalition implemented pilots of innovative first-year curricula in the 1994-95 academic year and pilots of innovative sophomore curricula in the 1995-96 academic year. Then, they built upper-division curriculum projects on the seven key components of the Foundation Coalition and the lower division curriculum pilots.
