, three doctoral programs have been launched at Boise State University. Thefirst doctoral program established was in Electrical and Computer Engineering, selected becauseof the need for a trained workforce in the region. The other two doctoral programs, MaterialsScience and Engineering, and Computing, were from the start designed as interdisciplinarydegree programs. That is, they were designed for the participation of not just program facultywithin the division, but for the participation of program faculty with related research interests inother departments at the university. This paper presents the steps taken to launch the programs,lessons learned in initiating and administering the programs, best practices undertaken, andchallenges faced by

definition ofbroader impacts the first few weeks of class helped me set up a good foundation for the rest ofthe course.’‘I thought the class participation very beneficial and should be required. We were able to notonly practice talking about our research to others but we were able to see how we progressedthroughout the semester.’Summary and outlookThe initial offering of the course in Spring 2016 attracted 13 engineering graduate students fromfour disciplines and introduced them to the notion of broader impacts and underscored the valueof engaging in activities to achieve specific societal outcomes. Student feedback from this initialoffering was very positive. The course has already achieved impact by enabling students toimplement their project

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 A graduate study on cost effective analyses and environmental impact analyses of using waste cementitious materials in building constructionAbstractConcrete is the most dominating construction material across the globe. In the last two decadesthe concrete production has increased dramatically, which caused an increase in Portland cementproduction since it is the core of reaction that gives concrete its strength. Cement productiongenerates a significant amount of Green House Gas (GHG) contributing to global warming.The purpose of this research is to review literature that proves efficiency of the usage of wastecementitious materials and to

2016, a new interdisciplinary Energy Science and Engineering master anddoctoral graduate major degree program called the “energy course” was created withapproximately 140 faculty from 6 departments and approximately 100 students. To graduatefrom the master or doctoral energy course, students must complete energy theory, discipline-based and career oriented coursework, and prepare a research-based thesis. In this paper, bothenergy programs will be introduced, discussed and summarized based upon a best practices pointof view.Energy EducationEnergy and in particular renewable energy education and degree programs in higher educationhave been growing over the last two decades with the green economy1.

Hydro Kinetic Energy Devices would fit the call in the graduatedivision and it is consistent with the division objectives. Furthermore, the study is relevant to theASEE division’s mission and the scope is interdisciplinary including design, development andresearch. The research paper was a term project for a public works engineering and managementclass that is offered each fall semester. This makes it relevant to the theme of the ASEE GraduateStudies Division.How Tidal Energy Works Tidal Energy uses the earth’s gravitational interactions with the sun and moon to converthydraulic energy into usable electric power for various uses. The orbital and rotational effects ofthe sun and moon create tidal patterns which may be reasonably predicted
