NSF Funded Project
“Enhancing the Electrical and Computer Engineering Curriculum by Integrating Applications of Wireless Technology”
NSF TUES Type 1 Project, DUE-1044596
PI: Tao Zhang, SoECSCo-PI: Michael Colef, SoECS
Co-Investigator: Wolfgang Gilliar, NYIT COMExternal Evaluator: Sarah McPherson, SoED
Our Vision
• Through the use of state -of -the -art technologies and real life healthcare related projects integrated throughout the curriculum, will heighten students’, especially female students’, interest in pursuing the ECE program and increase enrollment and retention in this major.
• Aligns with NYIT’s threefold mission to (1) provide career-oriented professional education, (2) offer opportunity to all qualified students, and (3) support applications-oriented research that benefits the larger world.
Objectives
• Create a connected scope and sequence of learning outcomes to improve the ECE curriculum for all undergraduate students with additional foci on women’s roles in ECE.
• This will be accomplished by integrating application-oriented wireless network projects related to healthcare applications into the curriculum in courses throughout the program.
Goals
• Build application-oriented wireless networked systems curriculum that demonstrates applications of engineering in telemedicine.
• Attract and motivate undergraduate engineering students, especially females, to pursue wireless communications and networking academic programs of study.
• Incorporate faculty research into curriculum development and instruction.
• Develop undergraduate research through authentic application-oriented projects for innovations in healthcare.
