DESIGNING LIMITES SCOPE ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING CURRICULUM

Issues of undergraduate level curriculum design are analysed. A semiformal design process is explained as used for the design of the first full – time undergraduate nine – semester curriculum in electrical engineering at the University of Rijeka. The design process separates the following phases:  Environmental issues ;  Deciding on the scope of studies ;  Strategic design ;  Tactical design ;  Analysis of resources ; And each phase and its constituent steps are described an considerable detail. The process incorporates means of designing a new curriculum and associated documents in a controlled and predictable manner – a necessity if high – quality sets of documents has to be built by a distributed group of around fifty authors confronted with a hard deadline. The merits of the highly iterative design process are described. Only partial conclusions could be given, due to the fact that the only true test of any curriculum (and, in consequence, of its design process) is its execution. Therefore, complete conclusions will have to be made in five or six years from its inception this autumn, after the first generation of students graduates.
