Abstract

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Université de Sherbrooke has totally redesigned its electrical engineering and computer engineering programs. Based on recent research advances in cognitive science as applied to student learning, these curricula have led to new instructional models. The programs were built on a competency-based framework, following an original learning approach that combines problem-based and project-based learning. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the new curricula framework; to discuss the learning principles involved in the construction of pedagogical activities, and to present program structure.
