We consider seven knowledge components that constitute the pillars for building a document-based organizational memory for engineering curriculum design: epistemology, pedagogy, Philosophy, universal knowledge, internal academic knowledge, external academic knowledge and extra-academic knowledge. We present domain ontology for guiding access to, and management and retrieval of knowledge and information stored in annotated documents. The curriculum oriented organizational memory supports the construction, evaluation and continuous evolution of engineering curricula. The integration of knowledge and information for continuous curricular transformation is illustrated with a case study of an informatics curriculum.Pages: 507-51
