  11. About EE Curricula

  12. Demand of 21st Century Engineers • The EE education should be designed for graduates to have • Ability to adapt to changing demands (Versatility) • Strong fundamental knowledge in math., basic sciences and eng. • Hands-on design and laboratory experience • Communication, interpersonal, and social skills • Social awareness and ethics • Students have to develop teamwork through group projects and leadership skills • Integration of social and economic studies and liberal arts • Need to prepare students for lifelong learning • Students have to get fundamental background.

  13. Criteria for accrediting EECS programs Graduates have knowledge of Probability and Statistics Mathematics (Differential and Integral Calculus) Basic Sciences Computer Science Engineering Sciences ABET (Accreditation board for Engineering and Technology) To analyze and design complex electrical and electronic devices, software, and systems. Must provide both breadth and depth knowledge across the range of EECS !!

  14. Survey of Leading EECSs EE CE CS EE CE CS Stanford UC Berkeley Separate EE and CS curriculum But flexible to take classes Most state universities Texas-Austin, Wisconsin, Maryland EE includes hardware-oriented CE CS focuses information processing area EE CE CS How about KAIST ? U of Washington CS includes both H/W and S/W

  15. Current Trends • EE curricula of most leading universities include several CE subjects. • Number of the required major subjects decreases in most EE departments. • Number of EE students who are taking CS classes increases in KAIST also. • EE graduates need to have understanding of software systems and programming.

  16. KAIST EE Curricula Numbers are the assigned credits.

  17. KAIST EE Curricula • Current curriculum was designed almost 10 years ago. • Several minor revisions • Intensive labs • 9-credits required major (Electronics Labs. I, II, Electronics Design Lab.) • 6-credits elective (Applied Electronics Lab., Project Lab.) • Spend longer than 20 hours a week for labs.(too hard) • Narrow alternatives • Cultural subjects (7+21), Fundamental math and science subjects (23+9) • Major (30+17), Free elective (19), Research (4) • Total 130+ • Required majors are mostly pure EE subjects.

  18. Graduates need to have breadth and depth knowledge to adapt to new technology and to lead EE industries. Knowledge of fundamental concepts assures lifelong learning Major update of the EE curriculum Need for Curriculum Update • Fast development of IT industry • Fast expansion of the EECS area • Customers (industries and research institutes) request the engineers who can contribute immediately.

  19. Need for Curriculum Update KAIST EE Curriculum • EECS is the core technology of most interdisciplinary areas. • Bioengineering, Medical electronics, Defense electronics, • Fusion with Bio Technology, Nano Technology, … • How to educate students to be ready for the interdisciplinary applications ? • What is the good strategies to educate students to have both breadth and depth knowledge ?

  20. KAIST EE Curriculum Curriculum Update • To provide multiple alternatives and to expand EE areas • Minimize the required major subjects • Less than 15 credits (9 to 12 credits Labs) • But have to provide engineering analysis and design skills. • To provide knowledge of CE • Include basic CE subjects • e.g., Embedded Operating System, Programming, Data Structure, … • Multiple tracks to suggest its own curricula sequences, such as system track, device track, CE track, … • Need more works to finalize

  21. Conclusions (Suggestions) • KAIST EE education must provide • Up-to-date labs as the required major subjects, which cover digital and analog systems and programming experiences. • Collaboration and leadership which are trained through the group projects and intensive labs. • Fundamental CE subjects for breadth knowledge of CE • Multiple track operations for systematic depth knowledge • Continual course update and development
