In the following section, representatives from each department talk about how their students fulfill this component, how it is monitored, and what the feedback loops are.

1. The CE department's monitoring and feedback (as written by Cyrus Bazeghi)
   Component B requires a year and a half of engineering topics, consisting of engineering sciences and engineering design, which is exceeded by our requirements listed above. All students must take the capstone design course (ce123a, and ce123b); The prerequisites for this class alone would satisfy the requirements for Component b. This course consists of both a classroom component and a lab intensive component and focuses around a substantial design project.

   The requirements, for example, include CE121/L, CE100/L, EE70/L, CE12C/L, CS12A, and CS12B, which would take a minimum of one and one half years to complete with concurrent enrollment in some classes.

   We get short-to-medium-term feedback on the engineering topics from the core exam (which includes questions from CE 107).

2. The EE department's monitoring and feedback (as written by Hamid Sadjadpour)
   The EE department tests this component by checking pre-requisite of each course to make sure each student is taking all engineering courses (short-term) and checking each student's transcript who applies for graduation that they have taken all engineering courses (mid-term) and then alumni and employer survey (long-term) to check if they have really taken all necessary Electrical Engineering courses and use this as a feedback to change the curriculum.
