BSE General Engineering Degree Program with an Interdisciplinary Professional Focus Dennis Silage ECE Temple University
BSE General Engineering Forging a natural co-operation with ME, CS and Physics Direct impact on declining enrollments in ECE
EE and ME Together Again Interdisciplinary Engineering Education as a General Engineering Program
An unfortunate premise: The EE curriculum has no room for substantive ME courses The ME curriculum has no room for substantive EE courses
ABET Program Criteria for Electrical Engineering to analyze and design complex electrical and electronic devices, software, and systems containing hardware and software components.
ABET Program Criteria for Mechanical Engineering model, analyze, design, and realize physical systems, components or processes work professionally in both thermal and mechanical systems areas.
Yet there is a natural intersection between EE and ME for professional opportunities in the 21 st century! Electromechanical Engineering Energy and Power Engineering
How to craft such a program? Both disciplines are rigid with threads in various areas Discipline threads require prerequisites
Impedance mismatches? Dilution of the BSEE and BSME degree Co-operation between Departments and Faculty
The solution to this dilemma in the College of Engineering at Temple is the creation of an ABET EAC program in General Engineering for a new BSE degree
What s in a name? General Engineering programs often offered in historically separate Departments, for example in Industrial Engineering
BSE in General Engineering Plans of study No new courses College administration
