Relation of CSE Curriculum to BS-CSE Program Outcomes and EC2000 Criterion 3 Outcomes

In the summary tables, we distinguish three levels of contribution (most to least).

• *** means the substance of the EC2000 criterion or program outcome is a primary theme of the course; a significant fraction of course time (perhaps 3 weeks or more, often woven through the fabric of the course) is directly related to this criterion or outcome.
• ** means the substance of the EC2000 criterion or program outcome is a secondary theme of the course; a smaller fraction of course time (perhaps 1-2 weeks) is directly related to this criterion or outcome.
• * means the substance of the EC2000 criterion or program outcome is not a theme of the course, but it is still treated in the course a non-trivial way; a smaller fraction of course time (perhaps 1-2 hours) is directly related to this criterion or outcome.

CSE Curriculum and Program Outcomes

1. Students will:
   1. Demonstrate proficiency in the areas of software design and development, algorithms, operating systems, programming languages, information systems, and computer architecture.
   2. Demonstrate proficiency in relevant aspects of mathematics, including discrete mathematics and probability, as well as electrical circuits and devices.
   3. Successfully apply these principles and practices to a variety of problems.

2. Students will:
   1. Demonstrate an understanding of differential and integral calculus, and of statistics.
   2. Demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles of physics and at least one other laboratory-based science.
   3. Demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles of at least one other engineering discipline in addition to computing and electrical engineering.

3. Students will:
   1. Demonstrate familiarity with basic concepts and contemporary issues in the social sciences and the humanities.
   2. Demonstrate an understanding of social, professional and ethical considerations related to engineering in general and to computing in particular.

4. Students will:
   1. Demonstrate an ability to work effectively in teams.
   2. Demonstrate an ability to communicate effectively.

5. Graduates will:
   1. Find suitable positions in industry and government that offer the prospect of challenging and rewarding careers in computing.
   2. Demonstrate an ability to acquire new knowledge in the computing discipline and to engage in life-long learning.
   3. [Graduates with an aptitude for, and interest in, graduate studies will] Apply to and be accepted for entry by strong graduate programs in computing.

The following table summarizes the contributions that individual courses in the CSE curriculum make toward achieving each of the above outcomes. More complete details concerning the individual courses and explanations of their contributions to the various outcomes may be obtained from their respective syllabi.

CSE Curriculum and Criterion 3 Outcomes

1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
2. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
3. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
4. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
5. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
6. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
7. an ability to communicate effectively
8. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
9. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning
10. a knowledge of contemporary issues
11. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for modern engineering practice.

The following table summarizes the contributions that individual courses in the CSE curriculum make toward achieving each of the Criterion 3 outcomes. As in the case of the program outcomes, more complete details may be obtained from the syllabi of the individual courses.
