In order to make it a reality, aninstitutional transformation of university teaching is essential [2] – [5]. That is the motivationbehind an energy transformation project underway in an undergraduate Engineering Technologyprogram. The goal is a new energy systems curriculum that

An Industry Advisory Council for auniversity in Louisiana expressed the need for multi-skilled craftsman trained graduates, andworked with Engineering Technology faculty to develop an associate of science degree program,in collaboration with a local technical community college, that is focused on advancedmanufacturing.This paper discusses the development of an industry-driven program on advancedmanufacturing.

1980s an expensive 16-bit ADC had a samplerate of only about 100Ksps. This could only unambiguously sample a signal with a bandwidth of50kHz or less, which was fine for audio, but not for broadband signals, and certainly not fordirect conversion of RF signals. Application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) helped advancehardware digital radios in the 1980s and 90s, and helped to usher in the era of digital mobilephones [2]. Today, ADCs operating with tens of Msps are relatively inexpensive, and for muchsteeper price, several Gsps sampling rates are available. This modern DSP technology hasallowed the ubiquitous use of SDRs, which has reversed the role of digital receivers. Relativelyinexpensive SDRs can now be quickly programmed for an

It can be a little daunting to develop program curriculum completelyfrom scratch. Required content needs to be identified and then assigned to specific courses.Furthermore, technical fields today consist of too much content for a four-year program. Whatcan be left out?

writing will not necessarily improvewriting skills. The students find the assignments disconnected from the course content, anddo not have the knowledge to move into disciplinary writing. Teaching writing, however,takes time away from content instruction. To integrate writing into their curriculum,engineering professors need pedagogical models that provide writing support to studentswithout eliminating content instruction time. The writing studio model, developed byresearchers in the field of rhetoric and composition, provides an environment outside of theclassroom to support the students as they develop into disciplinary writers. Using a case studyapproach, the researchers analyze initial data from this pilot course. Students not onlypractice

Studies by Duval-Couetil et al. [11] have shown that interest inentrepreneurship strengthens when students take one or more courses in entrepreneurship.

Experiential learning is termed as theprocess, whereby the knowledge is created through the transformation of experience [18][19][10].Experiential gaming models are also proposed in the literature, where gaming and experientialeducation principles are integrated.

Furthermore, theauthors call for higher levels of faculty engagement with, and support of, diverse learner styles,toward building diversified teams of problem-solvers. The authors push against the traditionalrhetoric of diversity as an end in itself, and advocate for statistically balanced representation inthe student population and attention to diverse learning styles. By examining the ABET EC 2000 Criteria, Smith [5] concludes that the proposed criteria willbe difficult to achieve by certain students unless current engineering curriculums andpedagogical approaches are radically restructured.

This presents the Standard as secondary to the methods used, even though following the standards is essential for an ISO-compliant LCA or carbon footprint report. Since many students will go on to be practitioners by completing LCAs based on the standards, or reviewing LCAs according to the standards, it is important for them to recognize the complexity and rigor these standards have. 4) Understanding the role of professional peer review for standard compliance.
