Electrical and Computer Engineering: Past, Present, and Future
Electrical and Computer Engineering: Past, Present, and Future Randy Berry1, chair, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering The field of electrical and computer engineering (ECE) has had an enormously successful history. This field has pushed the frontiers of fundamental research, led to the emergence of entirely new disciplines, and revolutionized our daily lives. ECE departments2 are found in nearly every engineering school and have historically been one of the larger departments both in terms of faculty and student enrollments. Academically, a strong ECE department is highly correlated with the reputation of an engineering school. Of the top 10 engineering schools in the latest US News and World Report rankings of graduate programs, nine have top 10 ranked ECE programs. Nevertheless, ECE is a field that finds itself facing challenges. In this paper, we will look to the field’s past issues and note how the field repeatedly reinvented itself to push to new heights. Finally, we argue that the time is ripe for another reinvention and show how aspects of such a reinvention are already emerging. Areas such as machine learning and data science, the Internet of things, and quantum information systems provide promising directions for ECE — and embracing them provides a path to a bright future. The Present Situation In many ways, ECE is a victim of its own successes. Advances such as computer-aided design tools reduce the number of designers needed. The increased integration reflected in Moore’s law means that more functionality can be integrated into a single integrated circuit (IC), replacing the need for engineering to integrate multiple components in custom designs.

Engineer I/II DEFINITION DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS TYPICAL DUTIES
Class Code: 428,429 Engineer I/II DEFINITION Under supervision, performs a variety of professional environmental engineering work in connection with water quality studies, treatment and distribution system operations, water quality regulations, facility improvements, and other related work; assists other engineering disciplines on assigned projects; provides administrative support to District projects and programs; may exercise technical and functional oversight over engineering support staff; and performs other related work as required. DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS Engineer I is the entry level in the engineering series. Under close to general supervision within a framework of established policies and procedures, incumbents perform a variety of engineering and administrative tasks of limited to moderate difficulty. Assignments are given in specific terms and are subject to frequent review while in progress and upon completion, except where tasks are well defined by established standards, policies and procedures. Assignments may cover the entire field of environmental engineering and may include other engineering and technical disciplines. There is limited latitude for independent judgment. This class is distinguished from the intermediate-level Engineer II (Environmental) class by the routine nature and limited complexity of work assignments and the level of supervision received. Upon recommendation of the immediate supervisor and approval by the department manager, incumbents in this class may advance to the Engineer II classification after gaining experience and achieving proficiency that meets the Engineer II experience requirements. Engineer II is the intermediate level in the environmental engineering series. Under general supervision within a framework of established policies and procedures, incumbents perform a variety of engineering and administrative tasks of moderate difficulty requiring the use of some independent judgment.

Defining Engineering Education
Paper ID #9586 Deﬁning Engineering Education Dr. Alan Cheville, Bucknell University Alan Cheville studied optoelectronics and ultrafast optics at Rice University, followed by fourteen years as a faculty member at Oklahoma State University working on terahertz frequencies and engineering edu- cation. While at Oklahoma State he developed courses in photonics and engineering design. After serving for two and a half years as a program director in engineering education at the National Science Founda- tion, he took a chair position in electrical engineering at Bucknell University. He is currently interested in engineering design education, engineering education policy, and the philosophy of engineering education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 A Century of Defining Engineering Education Abstract The broad issue question addressed in this paper is how the complex interface between engineering education and the larger contexts in which it is embedded change over time. These contexts—social, intellectual, economic, and more—define both the educational approaches taken and how various approaches are valued. These contexts are themselves inter-related, forming a complex system of which engineering education is a part. The interface between engineering education and the larger system is not unidirectional; while environmental changes can affect engineering education so too does engineering education affect the larger environment. This paper adopts a philosophical perspective in exploring some interrelationships between engineering education and the larger social-technical-economic system. To explore the extent to which a meaningful conceptual ontology exists for dialog of the role on engineering education in society, definitions of how engineering for the purpose of engineering education are examined.

CREATING NEW INTELLECTUAL SPACES INTERDISCIPLINARITY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON | 2019 University of Washington Box 353770 Seattle, WA 98195-3055 grad.uw.edu INTRODUCTION The University of Washington has been a leader in interdisciplinary research and training well before the concept of interdisciplinarity became commonplace. Our first interdisciplinary graduate programs were initiated in the mid-1960s: Quantitative Ecology and Resource Management (QERM, 1966) and Urban Development and Planning (UDP, 1967). Our first graduate from our Interdisciplinary Individual Ph.D. program was in 1970. And Museology was established in 1972. These ground-breaking programs — all still active and vital — predate, or coincide with, the first international workshop on interdisciplinary studies. Organized by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OCED), the workshop was held in 1972. This meeting resulted in the publication of the book, “Interdisciplinarity: Problems of Teaching and Research in Universities.” Between the mid-1960s to the mid-1990s, some aspects of interdisciplinary approaches were beginning to find a foothold in parts of the academy; however, disciplinary distinctions (and silos) tended to define the university landscape. In 1995, “The Reshaping of Graduate Education of Scientists and Engineers,” published by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, recommended that scientists be skilled to work in interdisciplinary groups to enhance their understanding of different theoretical and methodological approaches. It was around this time that we begin to see scholarly work on interdisciplinary research, teaching and learning, and funders such as NSF and NIH advocating for enhanced interdisciplinary training. Today, interdisciplinary approaches are far more integrated into the academy with fields such as neuroscience, molecular engineering, bioengineering as well as area studies considered standard fare.
