  1. ABET Outcomes - Definition • Skills students have graduation

  2. BSEE Outcomes • EE1 - knowledge of probability and statistics, including applications • EE2 - knowledge of mathematics, basic and engineering sciences necessary to analyze and design complex systems • EE3 - knowledge of advanced mathematics including linear algebra, complex variables and discrete mathematics • a - an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering • b - an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data • c - an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs • d - an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams • e - an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems • f - an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility • g - an ability to communicate effectively • h - the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context • i - a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning • j - a knowledge of contemporary issues • k - an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice

  3. Assessment Course Evaluations Grade Distributions BSEE Program Individual Courses Student Performance Instructors Student Focus Groups Course Committee Exit Surveys Faculty Curriculum Committee ABET Committee ABET Review Board Course Committees receive most data Sample Outcomes in various courses

  4. Assessment Bold indicates direct sampling Not all courses produce hard numbers

  5. Web Based Data • Course Committee Reports / Histograms are on the web • Organized by objective • Organized by course • This data flows to curriculum committee / ABET committee

  6. Issues • Updates from last year • Continuing Issues • New Issues / Efforts

  7. Power Course • Alex Domijan left the faculty • For two years we will continue the power course • Lab was recently renovated • $60k Progress Energy Grant • New equipment / modernize • Co-locate with all other labs in NEB 2nd floor • Running this semester

  8. Laptop Changes • Server based software approach • Students will use laptops / home computers to access server cluster • Students will have 24/7 access to software • Hardware lab will be reconfigured

  9. Senior Design • Senior Design Subcommittee to make recommendations • Senior Design Awards • Standardized and written requirements for the course • Junior Design??

  10. Retention - Seminar Course • Freshmen/Sophomore Seminar course • 2 credits • Focus on department areas - try to provide some course planning guidance • Sell graduate school • Ethics / Professional Issues • Still getting organized • Retention Data - attrition is the same across gender / race

  11. Communication Skills • Are we doing enough? • Gordon rule requirement • Technical Writing Requirement • Presentation in Senior Design • Sias Writing Contest

  12. Breadth / Multidisciplinary • Current Program - College Breadth - 9 credits • Mechanical Engineering - Thermo, Mechanical Design • Engineering Science - Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials • Engineering Economics • Advanced Math • Students always petition breadth • Are these good? More / Less? Other areas?

  13. Math Preparation • Assessment has indicated problems in 3111 / 3135 • Reorganize curriculum • Drop EGM 4351 • Restructure 3135 and 3112

  14. 3XXX - Analytic Methods in EE • 3 credits • Application of calculus to develop the analytical tools used in electrical engineering. Real and complex functions and polynomials; linear spaces, linear transformations, matrices, eigenvalue problem; linear differential operators; approximation, including least squares, interpolation, and approximation by polynomials. • Coreq - Differential Equations, 3135

  15. 3135 Intro to Signals and Systems • 3 credits • Continuous-time and discrete-time signal analysis including Fourier series and transforms; sampling; continuous-time and discrete-time linear system analysis with emphasis on FIR and IIR systems: impulse response, frequency response, and system function. • Coreq - Differential Equations, 3xxx

  16. 3112 Circuits, Systems, and Signals • 4 credits • Continuous-time signals and linear systems: Fourier series and transforms, frequency response, Laplace transform and system function, analog filters; emphasis on electrical circuits. Sampling. Discrete-time signals and systems; time- and frequency-domain analysis; sampled-data systems and design of digital filters. • Prereq - 3xxx, 3135
