2020” and “increase the number offormalized partnerships by 20% by 2020” [6]. The engineering curriculums have an untappedpotential to help in achieving these goals.There are limited studies available in the literature on the effectiveness of service learningpedagogy particularly in engineering courses and programs [3]. Warren (2012) [8] analyzed 11research studies on the effectiveness of service learning in improving learning in a variety of fields,including communication, English, sociology, psychology, political science, and pharmacy. Thesestudies utilized a wide variety of tools to measure student learning. The results indicated thatregardless of measurement tools, service learning improved student learning. This type of study iseven more

a hands-on easy to navigate basic tutorial for the outreach effort [11].The K-12 teachers and college professors alike received the tool and the tutorial positively, andsome have successfully integrated BITES with appropriate lessons in their classrooms which inturn has motivated the author to include BITES in the thermodynamics course that he offers to theengineering undergraduates at UMES.The first course in thermodynamics in the engineering curriculum tends to be difficult for students.Unfortunately, a lot of students are unaware of how generation and utilization of energy inbuildings, industry, and transportation sectors that are discussed in the context of thethermodynamics course are intimately related to global warming and ozone

multidisciplinary nature ofpower quality presents an opportunity to integrate various aspects of energy and power systemsresearch. The power quality research and related-education activities are prepare a new kind ofpower engineer, able to meet the energy challenges of the 21st century. Power quality are linkingpower systems, power electronics and contemporary energy and power issues in order to createan integrated perspective of today energy and power systems. Current research plans are centeredon the power quality impact of integrating alternate energy sources to the power distributionsystems. The educational aspect can provide alternatives for a renovation of energy education byimplementing power quality activities in the power engineering curriculum

curriculum taught in public and global health classes, with the focus being onhow clean-energy systems decrease environmental pollution and improve community health. MercerUniversity’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP, running from 2015-2020) focuses on combining researchwith service (with a tagline of “Research that Reaches Out”), with a dedicated, staffed office. Thisproject is coordinating with Mercer’s QEP to advance integration of the initiative approach across theuniversity.Feedback from students in Mercer University’s Green Engineering course has shown that they find thehousehold level examples used to teach about energy efficiency and conservation to be beneficial andmemorable, the study of small-scale solar PV and shallow geothermal systems to

. This percentage for engineering courses was mere 0.86%. This is unfortunate since theinfrastructure required for online education has been primary developed by engineers.The perceived obstacles in widespread integration of online courses in engineering curriculumscan be divided into two categories: physical obstacles and cultural obstacles. A major physicalbarrier is how to provide hands-on trainings, which traditionally take place in laboratories andmachine shops, in an online setting. However, this may not be a major problem since, contrary towhat one may expect, the data shows that online education is primary “local”. A little over half ofall students who took at least one online course took some face-to-face courses at the sameinstitution

Virtual Reality for Green Energy Manufacturing Education AbstractThis paper presents the project-based learning result of green energy manufacturing integratedwith virtual reality (VR). This work provides an innovative solution for optimizing learningeffectiveness and improving educational outcomes through the development of virtual models thatcan be used and integrated into the existing renewable energy laboratory. The goal is to apply theseprototypical simulators to train undergraduate engineering students and professionals in windenergy education; and to offer experiential learning opportunities in 3D modeling, simulation, andvisualization. The students were given multiple projects

officially began in Guthrie on Christmas Eve 1890 in the McKennon Opera House whenTerritorial Governor George W. Steele signed legislation providing for the establishment of anagricultural and mechanical college as well as an agricultural experiment station in PayneCounty, Oklahoma Territory, effective December 25, 1890 [5]. At long last, Stillwater wasdesignated as the location for the college by the designated commission. On May 15, 1957,Oklahoma A&M changed its name Oklahoma State University of Agricultural and AppliedSciences to reflect the broadening scope of curriculum offered. However, the name was quicklyshortened to Oklahoma State University for most purposes, and the "Agricultural & AppliedSciences" name was formally dropped in
