A new curriculum for electronic engineering studies is being implemented at the University of Buenos Aires. The new fields that electronics comprises nowadays, new pedagogical resources and the requirements of professional work in a global marketplace, demand a new approach to engineering curricula, clearly different of the classical point of view. In this paper, a new proposal is presented, whose main goals are: a) anticipating technological courses and postponing basic sciences, b) design-based learning, c) electronic engineering as a unifying concept d) balancing broad and specialized engineering education.
