Power Electronics (a graduate course open to seniors)The ABET outcomes to be addressed in this course include: a. Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering b. Ability to design and construct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data e. Ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems f. Understanding of professional and ethical
suchanalyses are consistent with the ABET engineering criteria 3(c), 3(h) and 3(j) that students havethe ability to make decisions “within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental,social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability”, “understand theimpact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context” andhave “a knowledge of contemporary issues”.10 Via this debate and corresponding case study, thestudents learn how to think outside the box and look at the big picture in its entirety whenapproaching a problem. The second debate “Do alternative energy sources stand a chance?” is scheduled at the endof the summer program. As the Young Scholars become acquainted with
, Engineering Technology(ET) program offers a combined electrical and mechanical engineering technology major, withseveral courses related to renewable energy, energy conversion, green energy manufacturing andsustainability. Our main goal is to create a highly skilled professional workforce ready to “hit theground running” after graduation and also having most of the qualities of a “global engineer”, acritical thinker and an innovator which is in total agreement with ABET criterion c (“an ability todesign a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such aseconomic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, andsustainability”). Our ET program developed during the past 6-7years

Assessment of Student Learning OutcomesStudent learning outcomes were assessed throughout the project duration in each department aspart of its own senior design course. As in senior design courses at most institutions, the studentlearning outcomes in the senior design in the three departments typically were assessed on some ofthe key ‘a thru k’ ABET-defined student learning outcomes such as a) ability to apply knowledgeof mathematics, science, and engineering, b) ability to design and conduct experiments, c) abilityto design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs, d) ability to function onmultidisciplinary teams, f) understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
program.1. Students will be equipped to define, characterize and solve energy problems using thefundamental knowledge and tools in basic mathematical, chemical, physical, and social sciences.2. Students will be quipped to design and conduct meaningful experiments, acquire appropriatedata, analyze, and interpret those data to solve relevant energy engineering problems.3. Students will know pertinent professional, ethical, social and environmental factors in energyengineering and understand the impact of these factors relating to global energy issues.4. Students will complete the program with the ability to communicate technical energy relatedissues effectively both orally and in writing.5. Students will gain an appreciation for lifelong learning
sustainability draws from others mentioned in the literature4-6 and illustrates the application of engineering techniques in solving real-world problems by Page 25.1161.2holistically approaching the situation from five vectors of success: energy, environment,education, economics and ethics. Each of these concepts individually addresses specific aspectsof sustainability, shaped by the confluence of the ideals of people, planet, and prosperity.Moreover, it is through the multi-leveled application of the vectors of success that the studentshave developed the means to
