Abstract
This paper describes a process of reviewing and taking action to enhance an undergraduate engineering curriculum. It presents a number of issues associated with defining and implementing change while being sensitive to practical constraints. It addresses issues of organization, goal setting, data gathering and consensus building. Since the process of encouraging change maybe more universally relevant than the specific elements of change, the goal of the paper is to outline a specific set of experiences which may be instructive for others.
