Abstract :
A freshman-first Computer Engineering curriculum replaced a more conventional curriculum at the Milwaukee School of Engineering in academic year 2006-2007. The new curriculum was designed around two key principles: topical balance and freshman-first. The result is a curriculum that balances the core computer engineering topics throughout all four academic years and addresses curricular issues discovered through the collection of ABET materials.
