Thereason for this is it reminded me of something I was shown as a kid that got me interested inscience in the first place.”“The Potato clock without a doubt. It combined the essence of electrical engineering with thecarbohydrate we all know and love. It also demonstrated how the practical application ofcircuits can be integrated without the worlds most advanced technology.”“I really enjoyed the demonstration with the potatoes and how you can generate power fromthem. I know the demo seems elementary because of how often it is done across the country inmiddle and high schools, but it is a very helpful and innovative way to

This course provides junior undergraduates with tools to approach problemsolving considering the triple bottom (i.e., economic
to include aneducational/outreach component in the proposal.Per the above, a RFP was created and presented to the environmental engineering capstonestudents. A team of four students from the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering,who prepare a proposal for that specific RFP, was challenged to answer this call for pilot projectsdemonstrating on-site wastewater reclamation and reuse. The students had to first analyzevarious technologies, and then propose, design, build, and operate a pilot of the selectedtechnology. To cover construction costs, the College of Engineering allotted an approximatebudget of $2000.00 for the construction materials of the system, including components that theinfrastructure lab could appropriate and make

Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) student outcomes in these design courses using standard quiz and exam-typeassessments can be difficult. In an effort to improve the assessment of ABET studentoutcomes in the Process Design and Economics course, as well as to offer modern andengaging senior design projects, students were tasked with proposing their own seniordesign project idea in the Process Design and Economics course for potential use in thePlant Design Project course. This design project proposal assignment required studentsto describe a potential design project idea and assess its potential merits usinginput/output (I/O) economics, safety, and societal assessments.

benefits of active learning, the nextquestion may be, “How do engineering faculty incorporate active learning in the classroom giventhe constraints of time and the amount of material that needs to be covered?” One potentialanswer to this question is the flipped or inverted classroom. The flipped or inverted classroomcan be defined as one where students obtain content from technology and apply that content withhelp from the instructor in class (Margulieux et al. 2014). The flipped classroom provides ameans of enabling the same amount of material to be covered by having students first interactwith the content outside of the classroom and then spend class time actively engaging with thematerial they were introduced to prior to attending class.With
preparation is also the fact that Engineering Economycourses are sometimes shared among different engineering disciplines (i.e., mechanical, civil,electrical, etc.), and in some cases also with students from fields beyond engineering (e.g.,computer science, safety technology, etc.). This diversity in academic field further contributes tothe wide range of student background and experience in the classroom, and presents instructorswith challenges related to what students may already know at the outset of a course. Anadditional complication is that this experience distribution can be variable from semester tosemester, meaning that what one student population knew at the beginning of one semester doesnot necessarily ensure that the same things are
