Integrated Curricula In The Succeed Coalition

The SUCCEED Coalition supported two attempts at developing and implementing integrated curricula. The first of these was the Integrated Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, and Chemistry (IMPEC) program at NC State, which used a fully-integrated team-taught set of courses. A second program piloted at the University of Florida retained traditional courses with department control, but the faculty from Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering collaborated to coordinate their curricula so that concepts or topics could span more than one class. Both programs included other aspects of skill development. This paper summarizes the assessment data from both programs and recommends a path forward for integrated curricula in engineering education.
