Dear ECEDHA Members, Industry Partners, and Colleagues,
With the Fall season upon us, it is a good time for our undergraduate curriculum committees to ponder CE2016 - the new draft of curriculum guidelines for undergraduate degree programs in Computer Engineering. CE2016 is the product of a joint study by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the IEEE Computer Society. The goal of this study is to update the Computer Engineering 2004 (CE2004) guidelines to reflect the dramatic advances in this field over the past decade, and keeping in mind the vital task of educating the next generation of students to cope with future advances. To be clear, CE2016 is a set of guidelines (not mandates) that address the computer engineering discipline, the underlying body of knowledge, engineering practice, and of course, the curriculum. The committee has developed the guidelines keeping in mind the diversity of department structures and resources. Computer engineering is one of several computing related disciplines that have seen recent updates.
At ECE Source, we strive to cover topics that are relevant and timely to ECE department heads. We welcome your comments, feedback, and suggestions of topics to cover in our next issue. Thank you.

Updated Guidelines for Computer Engineering Curricula (CE2016)
By John Impagliazzo and Victor Nelson
The field of computer engineering has seen rapid advances over the past decade, and it will continue to advance even more rapidly in the foreseeable future. To ensure that graduates from our computer engineering programs are prepared for practice, the ACM and the IEEE Computer Society are charting a path, and in 2016, they will publish guidelines for developing forward-looking computer engineering curricula. University faculty members can use the guidelines to design new programs or to see how their programs align with the expert consensus view of the field and then consider whether updates would better serve their constituents. Employers can use them to ascertain a deeper understanding of abilities they are likely to find with newly graduated computer engineers. Potential students might use them to see how the field aligns with their interests.

Classroom Conversion
By KEENZine
Joe, a graduate from your program, has butterflies as the hiring manager leans in and asks the all-important question, "Why don't you tell me about one of the most impactful experiences you had as an undergraduate?" And Joe, without missing a beat, looks the interviewer directly in the eye, smiles, and says, "You probably won't believe it, but in my junior year things really clicked in my signals processing course, and that's when I knew I made the right decision to pursue electrical engineering. My professor assigned a lab..."
