Abstract Over the past few years, San Jose State University (SJSU) has mandated that all of undergraduate degree programs including engineering degrees be set at 120 units. With existing number units for BS degrees, this mandatory requirement led to new innovations in General Education (GE) SJSU. We have created a two-course sequence support integration upper division into major. Advanced GE SJSU is designed help students become integrated thinkers who can see connections between and among...
