for Engineering Education, 2011 Keeping the Conversation Alive: Maintaining Students' Research Skills Throughout Their College CareersAbstractAt Drexel University the library teaches engineering students information research skills in theirfirst and senior years. These students would benefit from a refresher in their middle college yearsto enhance their abilities in using library databases. Such an opportunity exists in the junior yearwhen all engineering students are required to take “Technology in Historical Perspective” (HIST285) a course offered by the Department of History and Politics in the College of Arts andSciences. This course examines the interrelationship between technology and its economic,social

There is therefore an urgent necessity to develop and implement newcourses that prepare engineers and scientists to work with and produce renewable energy systems[5] . Therefore, in the present paper the “Building Expertise on Energy Sustainability (BEES)”model is proposed, the model is a comprehensive approach composed of four key components,which are: 1) Education, 2) Research, 3) Outreach, and 4) Connection (Figure 1).
