Systemic Thread-Based Adaptation of an Electrical Engineering Curriculum

这笔给北亚利桑那大学的规划补助金将致力于重组和重振电气工程课程，以实现以下目标：1)使学生为未来的成功职业做好准备，这些职业需要有更广泛、更有效的基础来拥抱新兴技术；2)通过创造一个积极、调查和合作的学习环境，强调建模、模拟、分析和计算技能，吸引和满足所有学生，尤其是未被充分代表的美洲原住民和其他少数族裔的教育需求；3)通过去除遗留材料和方法，在课程中注入1)生物学等新兴技术和2)现代软件和学习工具，吸引并留住高素质的学生。

This planning grant to Northern Arizona University will pursue a restructuring and revitalizing of the electrical engineering curriculum to achieve the following goals: 1) equip students for future successful careers that require a broader and more effective foundation that embraces emerging technologies, 2) attract and meet the educational needs of all students, particularly under-represented Native Americans and other minorities, by creating an active, investigative and cooperative learning environment that emphasizes modeling, simulation, analysis and computation skills and 3) attract and retain high caliber students by removing legacy material and methods and infusing the curriculum with 1) modern, more relevant material in emerging technologies like Biology and 2) modern software and learning tools.
