Incorporating Capstone Courses in Programs Based upon IS2010 Model Curriculum

Currently, most CS and IS (CIS/MIS) curricula include a capstone course to help achieve some of the program objectives such as soft-skills development. Since the scope of the IS2010 model is limited to the consideration of high-level capabilities, the recommendation lists only core courses common to all Information Systems programs and some sample elective courses. This list does not include a ...

An Approach for Engineering Curriculum Integration in Capstone Design Courses*

The current emphasis in design education is to integrate the engineering design function with all relevant engineering (as well as non-engineering) disciplines. This paper presents an approach to foster engineering curriculum integration both within a specific engineering field and between engineering fields. First, the nature of integrated design will be discussed. Then a curriculum integratio...

CLINICAL SCIENCES Lessons from Hereditary Pancreatitis

For decades there has been slow progress in understanding pancreatic diseases, particularly acute and chronic pancreatitis. As a result, there were no significant advances in the management of these patients. Treatment was mostly directed towards symptomatic relief and management of complications. A simple clinical observation that multiple members of a large family are affected by acute and ch...
