August 30, 2005 TO: Robert Mrtek, Chair Senate Committee on Educational Policy FROM: Roger Nelson Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs I am submitting for review and action by the Senate Committee on Educational Policy the attached proposal from the College of Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering to revise the B.S. in Electrical Engineering and the Minor in Electrical Engineering. The proposal was approved by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in November 2004 and by the College of Engineering Educational Policy Committee on April 19, 2005. RN: Attachment Cc: C. Hulse R. Betts L. Kaufman P. Banerjee S. Laxpati M. Dutta R. Priemer A. Wroblewski Title: Revision of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering; Revision of the Minor in Electrical Engineering Sponsor: Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering College of Engineering Overview and Justification of Proposed Changes in the Major: The proposed revision of the Electrical Engineering (EE) curriculum includes the following. 1) Course credit increase for ECE 265, Introduction to Logic Design, from 3 to 4 credit hours. This will provide students with a better background for subsequent courses in the Electrical Engineering curriculum. ECE 265 teaches students the fundamentals of digital system analysis and design, which is important material in the fields of electrical and computer engineering. In the past, this course used two lecture hours and one laboratory meeting each week. It has been very difficult to cover the range of material that provides a reasonably complete background on this subject. With the additional 1 credit hour and therefore one more meeting each week, it will become possible to present to a greater depth sequential circuit design, memory register design and introduce material concerned with computer organization. This will provide students with a better overall perspective of logic design beyond the limited exposure they have received in the past. 2) Deletion of ECE 220, Electromagnetics, and its lab ECE 221. This course and its lab are replaced by Phys 142, General Physics II, Electricity and Magnetism, which includes a lab. The Physics Department has made substantial modifications to the laboratory component of PHYS 142 and now serves the needs of Electrical Engineering majors. 3) Deletion of ECE 435, Wireless Communication Networks, a technical elective. This course has been superseded by ECE 437, Wireless Communications, a new technical elective. However, ECE 435 will not be dropped because it will still be offered on-line as part of the Master of Engineering program within the College of Engineering. 4) Addition of Phys 142. This course replaces ECE 220/221, (See item #3.). 5) Addition of a new course, ECE 115, Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering. This course will be a requirement for freshmen in the ECE department, and early in the curriculum it will provide fundamental concepts and an overview of electrical and computer engineering. 6) Moved Phys 244 from the required EE core group of courses to the technical electives group. Since Phys 142 is now included in the required Electrical Engineering core, the general physics requirement is met with Phys 142. 7) 7) Addition of a new course, ECE 417, Digital Signal Processing II to the list of technical electives. This new course is a follow-up course to ECE 317, Digital Signal Processing I, in which students learn about the fundamental theory concerned with signal analysis by digital means and the design of digital filters. In ECE 417 students will learn about methods for signal analysis that build on the methods presented in ECE 317 to overcome complexity and accuracy problems associated with the fundamental methods presented in ECE 317. Furthermore, students will learn about implementing signal analysis algorithms and digital filtering methods with special purpose digital signal processing microprocessors (DSP chips), which are extensively utilized in communications, controls and audio and video signal processing. In the laboratory part of the course students will learn about interfacing hardware and software development for DSP devices. Overview and Justification of Proposed Changes in the Minor: The proposed revision of the Electrical Engineering major requires some modification of the minor in Electrical Engineering. The modifications include: 1) In the group of prerequisite courses: (a) ECE 220/221 has been replaced by Phys 142; (b) the new course, ECE 115, has been added; and (c) ECE 225, Circuit Analysis, has been moved from the prerequisite group of courses to the required set of courses. The new course, ECE 115, will provide a better background in electrical and computer engineering than ECE 225. 2) As a result of changing ECE 225 from a prerequisite course to a required course, the required set of courses has been changed from: ECE 265, 310, 322 and 340 to: ECE 225, 265, 310, 322 and 340. Catalog Statement: Attached. Minority Impact: None. Budgetary and Staff Implications: None Library Resource Implications: None Space Implications: None Unit (e.g., department) approval date: November 2004 College approval date: Engineering EPC, April 19, 2005 Proposed Effective Date: Spring, 2006 We are proposing an effective date of Spring 2006 because of the new course, ECE 115, which is intended to be taken by freshman students in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering majors during their second semester. Therefore, it will be possible for new students starting in the Fall 2005 semester to follow the proposed curriculum. Curriculum in Electrical Engineering - Old Curriculum in Electrical Engineering - NEW Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering The Electrical Engineering curriculum is concerned with analysis and design of modern electronic systems, devices, and signals for a broad range of applications such as wireless or network communication, electrical power and control and multimedia information technology. The curriculum provides a wide background in the fundamental theory of electrical engineering and in the mathematical and scientific tools necessary for an electrical engineer to meet the current and future challenges of a professional career. The field of electrical engineering is currently evolving at a rapid pace since it has a major role in the accelerated growth of the technological world. This requires the modern electrical engineer not only to have a sound basis in the fundamental principles but also to have the capacity to learn and assimilate novel advances as soon as they materialize. These qualities are anticipated in the curriculum, which includes not only a sound theoretical background but also offers a variety of courses that develop the student’s ability to gain knowledge autonomously and to combine it with contemporary design techniques. Courses are in diverse areas such as signal processing, power electronics, communications, optical and electromagnetic technologies, control systems, integrated circuits, multimedia networks, and image analysis. Same. The curriculum includes both required and elective courses. The required courses are in engineering, mathematics and physics, and they provide a wide backdrop in science and engineering. The elective courses are more specialized and offer a broad range of electrical engineering applications. Each student is assigned a faculty advisor who assists in the selection of the courses. Same. In addition to classroom experience, the electrical engineering curriculum is planned also to provide laboratory experience in electrical and electronic circuits, electromagnetics, communication and signal processing, controls, computers and digital systems. The curriculum also incorporates design Same. projects in the student’s experience starting from the freshman year and culminating in a capstone design project in the senior year. The project requires the students to undertake a significant group design that enriches their knowledge in practical aspects of engineering principles and methodologies. Most of these projects solve realistic problems and the results are presented in an exposition. The curriculum also requires the students to acquire oral and writing skills in expressing their professional ideas and ethical norms. Opportunities are available to participate in the activities of the student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and Eta Kappa Nu, the honor society of electrical engineering. An interest in robotics can be pursued by joining the Engineering Design Team, a College of Engineering student group.
