|The Sophomore Engineering Curriculum (SEC)
has been taught at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology since the fall of
the 1995-1996 academic year and is currently required for all students
majoring in mechanical, electrical, or computer engineering.
This innovative curriculum is organized around an a systems, accounting,
and modeling approach to engineering science that provides a common framework
for presenting, interpreting, and applying the basic physical principles.
The SEC was developed in the course of Rose-Hulman's participation in the
Coalition, an NSF Engineering Education Coalition.
