Abstract

The Electrical Engineering Curriculum Development project presents a vital solution to the educational gap in practical electronics knowledge at the secondary education level. This initiative is pivotal in bridging theoretical concepts with real-world applications, a crucial step towards invigorating student interest and competence in electrical engineering. The objective of this project is to create a dynamic and comprehensive curriculum, encompassing fundamental circuitry concepts such as resistors, conductors, capacitors, inductors, transistors, diodes, and batteries. The curriculum also aims to foster the development of hands-on projects like building motors, LED circuits, and homemade capacitors to marry theory with practice by providing the practical necessary knowledge of circuitry concepts. In collaboration with the non-profit Teaching Through Technologies (T3) Alliance, this curriculum is designed not just to enrich the existing body of knowledge in engineering education but to make it widely accessible, thereby empowering a broader audience. Utilizing regular quality checks, feedback loops, data collection and stakeholder engagement, the project ensures alignment with both educational standards and stakeholder expectations. Beyond serving as an effective educational tool, this project also aims to contribute to the project management body of knowledge, particularly in stakeholder management, scope management, and quality assurance, setting a precedent for future curriculum development endeavors. The success of this project will be measured through its anticipated impact on student learning outcomes, stakeholder satisfaction, and its integration into the T3 Alliance's curriculum repository.
