In the global economy of the 21 century, the preparation of a competitive U.S. workforce with knowledge and understanding of critical computing concepts, methodologies, and techniques is essential. The Collaborative Process to Align Computing Education with Engineering Workforce Needs (CPACE) team developed a partnership among various stakeholders -- Michigan State University (MSU) and Lansing Community College (LCC) and business and industry leaders -- to identify the computational skills that are essential for a globally competitive engineering workforce. Our goal is to redesign the role of computing within the engineering programs at MSU and LCC to develop computational competencies --informed by industry needs-- by infusing computational learning opportunities into the undergraduate engineering curriculum. The emphasis of this paper is on the curricular implementation phase (CPACE II) focusing on: * Preliminary survey results across target courses at MSU. * Efforts to assess students' computational competencies using a rubric based on the CPACE computational competencies. * Brief discussion of our efforts to develop and validate assessments to measure computational competencies for engineering students.
