A few additional episodes, #25-28, covered a general range of other commontheoretical areas (Process Control, Statics and Dynamics, Ethics, Safety). The fifth component, #29-43, sought to provide an introduction to many areas of appliedengineering, including areas of important current research as well as describing the subsets ofmajor engineering branches (Environmental Engineering, Renewable Energy, Further EnergyResources, Batteries, Robots, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, Drug Discoveryand Health, Biodevices, Genetic Engineering

simulator that was developed for instructing engineers and operatorson heater and burner operation.IntroductionSimulators have been used for many years, for example, in the nuclear and aerospace industriesto simulate both normal operating conditions as well as potentially dangerous situations. Thelatter may rarely if ever be seen in actual practice, but it is imperative that operators be preparedfor them in the event they ever do occur. In either case, it is generally not practical or preferableto let new operators learn initially on the actual equipment because of the potentially dangerousconsequences of making a mistake. Even if an operating error did not result in an unsafecondition, it could result in lost production, reduced efficiency, or

. The course was first offered in the fall semester of 2006 and has been offeredsubsequently in the fall semesters of 2007, 2008 and 2009. Because of sufficient cross-departmental advertising, the course has annually enrolled approximately an equal amount ofchemical engineers and non-chemical engineers, primarily industrial engineers, but students frommaterials science, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineeringhave also enrolled in the course. Enrollment for the class has been in between 20 and 30,generally an even mix of juniors and seniors. The course meets twice a week for ninety minutes. The main components of the course

The thirty (18 female and 12 male) participants of the2005 program consisted of nearly 70% of one or more underrepresented groups in engineering,architecture and technology such as females, Hispanics and Native Americans. Each academy begins with a recreational activity such as rock climbing or camping sothat the participants get to know each other. Then, participants get exposed to engineeringdisciplines including Civil & Environmental, Architectural, Electrical and Computer,Engineering Technology, Biosystems and Agricultural, Mechanical and Aerospace

the course thus far, 30 graduate students and 10 senior undergraduatestudents have taken the course. The student majors were chemical engineering, mechanicalengineering, aerospace engineering, civil engineering, environmental engineering, chemistry,plant and soil sciences, and mathematics. Collectively, the final grades have averaged 3.73 on a4.0 scale. The students who earned B’s typically struggled with major concepts on two or threeassignments and procrastinated on at least one assignment, where they submitted less than half ofthe required components. Each of these students discussed course performance with me one-on-one in office hours, learned from their mistakes on earlier assignments, and spent adequate timeand effort on the final

Control is central to senior level design in both fields.Mechanical engineers also learn the micro-phenomena of control but then extend it to macro-phenomena with all or part of a senior design course in factory automation [2].

Dr. Meunier’s research focuses on the toxicity of contaminants in soils and mine tailings, and on environmental and human health risks associated with exposure to contaminants in water and soil. These investigations include research on inorganic and organic pollutants, as well as novel materials (e.g. nanoparticles, graphene), and contaminant mixtures. For contaminated soils, tailings, and leachates, research results are used to reduce the costs associated with remediation by focusing clean- ing efforts to areas where risk has been identified.
