Abstract
Change EE 432, Feedback Control Systems from an elective Engineering Topics course in the EE Program curriculum to a required Engineering Topics course in the EE Program curriculum.
Rationale: This proposed change ensures that all students in the EE program have a foundation in the theoretical and practical aspects of modern control systems engineering centrally important to technological advancement and automation in nearly every engineering discipline. As a required EE course, EE 432 would play a key role in supporting ABET program assessment of ABET 2019-20 Student Outcomes 1, 2, and 6 *. Furthermore, this proposed change is aligned with strategic objectives of the College of Engineering to develop programs in advanced controls/connected and autonomous vehicles.
The total credits of Engineering Topics in the EE program would remain unchanged at 64 credits. The EE Program would retain a high degree of flexibility with 12 credits of EE electives, 4 credits of EE or CE electives plus 12 credits of technical electives.
This change would be applied to the program requirements of students in the EE program that have not yet reached Senior standing as of 1/1/2019.
* ABET 2019-20 Student Outcomes 1, 2, and 6: 1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. 2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. 6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
