Abstract

Three specific programs are suggested to modify the electrical engineering curriculum to keep up with the dramatic technological developments of recent years. One of the programs is a five-year combined BS/MS program which permits the student to specialize in more than one field. The second proposal is to restructure the BS program into a multi-track program. The third one is an internship-in-industry program to provide the student with a meaningful and valuable real-world design experience before graduation
