With advances in information technology, electronic portfolios can now be used as arepository for any digital artifact that the user may create from basic reports to digital video. Theability to share any of the information with anyone at any time provides several avenues forpersonal enrichment and professional advancement. Engineering students can take better controlof the educational progress. Professional engineers can maintain their accomplishments beyondwhat is listed in a resume in order for purpose of personal and career advancement. Engineering Page

Several parallel, competing computer instructional programs exist at a given institution ofhigher education, e.g. Computer Science (CS), Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE),Information Systems (IS), and Information Technology (IT).2. Each computer instruction program, frequently, is constrained by a total number of coreinstruction credit-hours permitted by its college or university. Page 11.791.23. Computer technology, both hardware and software, continues to grow at seeminglyunmanageable rates.Faculties are challenged to keep pace with this growth.4. Programs, usually, are

The BEST program isdifferent than many robotics type programs in that the cost to the schools is minimized.The local BEST Hub provides their schools with returnable kits and non-returnable kitsto be used to construct the robot for that year’s competition. The non-returnable kits, inthis case, consist of a relatively large box of materials to be used in construction. Theseare not robot kits that are assembled. The robots must be built from scratch with the rawmaterials provided. The game is different every

Historically, this course waspresented without requiring the use of the personal computer. This past year, the PowerWorldSimulator software 1, packaged with the text book 2 was incorporated. With the power systemanalysis software, the student was given the capability to model complex power systemsconsisting of generators, transmission lines, and rotating/non-rotating loads. The software wascapable of performing a load flow analysis of a power system. Also, the students could analyzevarious types of faults for
