This paper introduces plans for an optimized curriculum and teaching approach for the interdisciplinary service course Introduction to Electrical Engineering for all non-EE majors at Michigan Technological University. The curriculum optimizes the current 3-credit service course by addressing: (1) the general needs of all majors through in-class lectures and lab experiments, and (2) special needs of all majors by designing a web-based teaching and lab system. In order to specify the general and special needs of non-EE majors and form an overall curriculum for them, a survey was designed and distributed to universities and industry. Faculty members, students and industrial personnel responded to the survey. This work presents an analysis of the survey and describes a preliminary overall curriculum for this course.
