21、DENT PARTICIPATION BY MAJOR.340 5 A. Background Information A1 Degree Titles A1.1 Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering The Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering is the primary undergraduate degree of the electrical engineering program. Requirements for this degree reflect th

22、e joint expectations of the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and its Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and are represented by curriculum templates included in the Stevens Undergraduate Catalog (and reproduced in Appendix III-C). These templates include an intensive gene

23、ral engineering education, the Engineering Core, defining most of the first four semesters of study and extending into the fifth and sixth semesters. Discipline specific courses and discipline electives are offered mainly during the fifth through eighth semesters of study. Students completing a Bach

24、elor of Engineering degree complete a study plan, consistent with the Stevens Undergraduate Catalogs Electrical Engineering program template. Appendix III-B includes the EE-specific study plan forms for students entering Stevens during the 2002-03 academic years. These EE-specific forms are posted o

25、n the Web site of the ECE Department (standard study plan forms available on the Stevens Web site are generic School of Engineering study plans without the discipline-specific required course). The requirements, as reflected in these study plans (and the corresponding catalog descriptions), have evo

26、lved continually over the past 5 years, in both the Engineering Core program and in the Electrical Engineering requirements. A student is expected to fulfill the requirements defined in the Stevens Undergraduate Catalog for the academic year in which the student begins his/her studies. A student can

27、 change to a later catalog, but in so doing must complete all requirements specified in that later catalog. Students with outstanding pre-college academic records may be admitted to Stevens Institute of Technology within its Scholars Program. Students in the Scholars Program complete a set of four H

28、onors Research Seminars and are provided with various opportunities reflecting their high academic performance. Special degree programs supplement the basic Bachelors degree. A Simultaneous Degree Program through which students can complete a bachelors and masters degree concurrently in four years.

29、An Accelerated Degree Program through which students can complete the requirements for a bachelors degree in three years. A Deferred Graduate Credit Program allowing a student to enroll in extra courses at no extra tuition, the extra credits being applicable to a masters degree. A1.2 Minors Offered

30、by ECE Department A student completing the program of another discipline can obtain a Minor in Electrical Engineering or in Computer Engineering (a minor available to EE majors) by completing the five required courses specified in the ECE portion of the Undergraduate Catalog. Students in the ECE pro

31、gram (either EE or CpE) can apply courses in their major to satisfy the course requirements for a minor in the other ECE program. The required courses for the minors are shown in Table A.1. 6 Table A.1: Minors in EE and CpE Minor in Electrical EngineeringMinor in Computer Engineering E 246: Electron

32、ics the results of the Course Surveys provided by the students, and any informal information that may have been provided informally. Drawing on this analysis and his/her own perception of any difficulties associated with the course, the instructor completes the Instructor Course Assessment Form. Thi

33、s form asks the instructor to provide the following information (an assessment method developed by Brigham Young University was used to guide SEAC in the development of this course assessment form): 1) Course changes made during the current term are listed, with indication sof whether the changes we

34、re suggested by the assessment process and whether the changes made were effective. 2) Course Outcomes that were not achieved to the satisfaction of the instructor are listed, along with an explanation regarding the reason for that conclusion. Typically, decisions are based on the Course Survey, The

35、 Assessment Data Form, and the instructors personal judgment (the basis for the decision should be indicated). 3) Improvements recommended and/or planned for the course during its next offering are listed. 4) List and comment on changes you would like to see in Course Outcomes. Both the Student Performance Assessment Data Form and the Instructor Course Assessment Form are collected by the Program Co
