ECE 21: a new curriculum in electrical and computer engineering

摘要

The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Drexel University (USA) has revised and completely restructured the 5-year coop degree in electrical engineering. The new curriculum, called ECE 21, provides depth and breadth in subject area with significant flexibility in course choices and concentrations. Concentrations, or tracks, have been defined in the subject areas of Computers, Controls and Robotics, Electric power and Energy, Electronics, and Telecommunications. Their curriculum delivers design and laboratory experiences throughout the five years and enhances teamwork and communications skills. Assessment instruments are in place to insure that the ECE 21 curriculum will improve on a continuous basis.
