Microcomputers in the Engineering Curriculum: A Response to the Challenge

This paper describes how microcomputers and other small computers have been integrated into both computer science and electrical engineering curricula. Required and elective courses are described. The various mini- and microcomputers that equip a small computer laboratory are described and a required one-year course using that laboratory is discussed. Emphasis on real world problems and solutions is stressed. Proposed course changes and new courses are also described.
