Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
From 1990-91 until 2000-01, Rose-Hulman offered an Integrated, First-Year Curriculum in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics (IFYCSEM). As a part of IFYCSEM, students took a three-hour examination every two weeks that drew upon all the disciplines that were integrated within IFYCSEM: physics, chemisty, calculus, engineering design, computer science, and engineering graphics. The collection of integrated examples is available at the Rose-Hulman Foundation Coalition web site.
