Summary of innovations in electrical engineering curricula

Two aspects of innovation in electrical engineering education are summarized: the membership and goals of the NSF Engineering Education Coalitions, and innovations implemented at individual schools. The latter summary results from responses to a survey of electrical engineering department heads. Responses from 35 schools were received; they are organized in this report under the categories of major program/curriculum revisions, curricular revisions, first-year experience, undergraduate engineering design experience, course innovations, and innovations in graduate education. Also reported are issues in electrical engineering education that merit attention, as reported by the department heads responding to the survey
