by vehicle architecture.Ultimately, each team will need to justify the complexity and fidelity of their models as relatedto required transient responses and ability to execute in real time. For example, a team using aseries hybrid powertrain may require a less dynamic engine model for control development dueto the intrinsically steady engine operating points that a series vehicle may have. Alternatively, apowersplit hybrid vehicle team may require a much more dynamic engine model due to thetransient nature of the engine especially during shifting events.Teams were supplied with Powertrain System Analysis Toolkit (PSAT) as a donation from theUS Department of Energy and facilitated by Argonne National Laboratory.

These could be tutorial orlaboratory sections. The rationale behind removing lectures is to reduce the density of theconnections in the network. There would be more opportunities for cohort-based collaborationsin tutorial and laboratory sections, as opposed to during lectures. Hence, effective cohorts couldstill be formed by disregarding lecture sections.Using the two sets of constructed lists and connectivity maps, for students connected by allcourses

All aspects were presented at a freshman level and implemented infour two-hour labs. Students learn the concepts as relevant to their design project in each two-hour lab.

Medical Schools and Law Schoolspredominantly use authentic learning, or experiential learning, techniques to teach our futuredoctors and lawyers.3 Engineering education has been slow to follow their lead in this regard,basing almost all instruction on lecture-based and laboratory-based teaching methodologies,rather than authentic learning methodologies. However, in the Spring semester of 2010, aneducational initiative was begun to determine the value of integrating semester-long, Project-Based Design Streams (PBDSs) into the entire electrical engineering curriculum.
