The emphasis on project management stems from the skills required of a successful CoastGuard Officer in the “engineering community.” The Coast Guard-specific term for thecommunity that includes the electrical engineering discipline is: Command, Control,Communications, Computers and Information Technology (C4IT). The Coast Guard C4ITcommunity requires skills in project management. Coast Guard directives governing who can runhigh-cost projects and C4IT-acquisition doctrine either explicitly require key personnel to haveproject management credentials, or heavily incorporate project management principles in keyacquisition processes.

Engineers in theworkplace often present summaries, investigate new technologies, and/or lead meetings, so thisexperience provides useful practice for an engineering career. Finally, the experience is notoverly burdensome to the engineering faculty instructor as there is not too much grading to bedone and some class time is led by students so there is less need for the professor to prepare. Itdoes, however, require organization at the beginning of the semester to insure that every studenthas the opportunity to present.Student response to the class was quite enthusiastic as may be expected for a small

IntroductionPower electronics is an engineering discipline that deals with the conversion of electrical energyfrom one form to another. Power electronics has become increasingly important nowadays wherebillions of kilo-watts of electric power are being re-processed every day to provide the kind ofpower needed by loads1. Due to the rapid growth in power electronics technology, there has beenan increased presence of engineering companies who come during the career fair at Cal Poly torecruit electrical engineering (EE) students with power electronics background. This in turn hastriggered a great interest among our EE students in the field of power electronics as indicated

Even though these topics are important in their own right, students were neverexposed to newer technologies that are becoming predominant in power engineering. Technicaladvantages of digital control, combined with the tremendous growth of DSPs have resulted inwidespread adoption of digital control technology in all areas of power electronics applications.The lack of appropriate training on experimental aspects hampered students’ ability to advanceand apply state-of-the

undergraduate level, as women earn only 19% and 18% of bachelor’s degrees awarded inengineering and computer science, respectively [2]. It has been hypothesized that these deficits of women in engineering fields have resultedfrom social marginalization. Specifically, Flam [3] argued that women experience a “chillyclimate” when entering male-dominated fields. In such a climate, women receive direct andindirect messaging that their gender could be an obstacle to success in the work environment,which causes them to feel unwelcome. In such a climate, women often doubt whether they willbe fully included, valued, and respected in the field despite their abilities [4], [5].

Although there is no magic wand to eliminate all of the documentationand record keeping, organization and technology can be used to considerably reduce the timeneeded for the ongoing self-assessment process.
