Executive Summary
ECSEL is a coalition of seven diverse schools and colleges of engineering engaged in a five-year effort to renew undergraduate engineering education and its infrastructure. The goal is to make engineering as a profession attractive to a broader spectrum of youth. The central theme of ECSEL's efforts is that Design Across the Curriculum, broadly conceived, is the essense of engineering. Intra- and inter-institutional faculty and student teams are developing new courses, new teaching/learning strategies, and supporting materials. Their efforts are subjected to external evaluations and internal assessments by students and faculty. By ensuring the effectiveness and appeal of these educational reforms, especially to women and underrepresented minorities, ECSEL is laying the foundation for curricula renewal.
