GARCIA MURALI R. VARANASI MIGUEL F. ACEVEDO and  \nPARTHASARATHY GUTURU Department of Electrical Engineering College of Engineering  \nUniversity of North Texas Denton, TX 76203  \nABSTRACT  \nWe analyze and study the beginning of a new Electrical Engineering Department, supported by an NSF Departmental Level Reform award, within a new College of Engineering in the 21st Century and also describe the academic approach and influences of an innovative cognitive-based approach to curriculum development. In addition, the approach taken utilized open-ended projects distributed over the four years as pedagogical and motivational tools. Furthermore, the curriculum encouragesa global-minded entrepreneurship approach as well as reports and presentations associated with learning activities.  \nThe Electrical Engineering program begins by emphasizing the importance of recognizing how one learns and what one’s preferred styles are, as well as the convergence and reinforcement of the classical domains of learning in active learning. In teaching this program we draw from affective, psychomotor, and cognitive self awareness to emphasize ethics, professionalism and engineering practices, creativity, acceptance of globalization, and consideration of social and environmental issues as part of a life-long learning career. Students graduating from this program are all well-received by industry and graduate programs.  \nKeywords: Learning to learn, project orientation, cognitive education, active learning.  \nSUMMER 2011 1  \nADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION  \nAn Innovative Project And Design Oriented Electrical Engineering Curriculum At The University Of North Texas  \nINTRODUCTION: DEVELOPMENT OF A COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING  \nIn 2003, the University of North Texas (UNT) encouraged by the professional and political leaders of the region, initiated a new College of Engineering (one of the few created in the 21st century) at what would become the North Texas Discovery Park. A Founding Dean was hired at the beginning of the year and assumed his duties in July. The new College had departments of Computer Science, Materials Science, and Engineering Technology transferred from the College of Arts and Sciences. Programs in Construction Engineering Technology, Computer Engineering, and Mechanical and Energy Engineering were added. But it was the creation and development of the Electrical Engineering (EE) Department that is most closely related to the Departmental Level Reform (DLR) program of the National Science Foundation (NSF) .  \nIn July 2003, a one-year planning grant (NSF-0343623) titled “A Project and Design Oriented Electrical Engineering Program” was funded by the EEC division of the Engineering Directorate of NSF. This funded planning proposal, containing the basic ideas for the then-proposed Department, provided time and resources for careful analysis, study, and development of the characteristic of this completely new Department, its faculty, students, facilities, and orientation. Considering the experience of others and our own objectives, we made several assumptions and reviewed case studies in order to plan for a genuinely 21st century innovative and relevant educational experience for our students.  \nAs a result of this planning [1], a full implementation DLR proposal [2] was submitted (NSF 0431818) to the same NSF program and funded with cooperation between the EEC and EHR Divisions of NSF. This is the project, along with its evolution and its results that we describe in this article. This proposal included a broad-range comparative study of most of the leading innovative engineering programs in the US (with student-learning emphasis, in particular electrical) .
