Internal Combustion Engines. This course is taughtin the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM).UWM has dual missions of research and access. As a result, the student population inengineering at UWM tends to consist of a higher percentage of under-prepared students enteringthe program than most engineering schools, but at the same time offers many undergraduateresearch opportunities for highly-motivated students. This brief profile of the engineeringstudents will be important to keep in mind as the results of this project are discussed.The use of project-based learning1,2 is not new, and has taken on various forms at differentinstitutions. For example, Ulseth et al.3 describe using a project that directly

theproject was used, but the 8 outcomes below reflect accurately the consistent goals of the courseand form a basis for what features needed to be included in a project. 1. Students will develop problem statements and design criteria/requirements by evaluating a project scenario using design techniques (such as mind mapping or functional decomposition). 2. As a part of a design team, students will use the engineering design process to design, create, and evaluate a prototype that addresses realistic design constraints and requirements. 3. Students will self-assess, select, pursue, and demonstrate competency with a variety of tools, methods, and software as determined by their program. 4. Students will analyze

[2] [3] [4]. It iscritical to lead this effort by showing the next generation of engineers how they can affect ourresources.This is best done through offering students real-world, inquiry-based problems which give themtransferrable and practical skills and are shown to increase learning [1] [5] [6]. Through energyaudits, which are very much hands-on and well within the technical reach of undergraduates, wecan teach students about sustainability and ways to reduce energy, an inspiring and fulfilling taskwhen considering our nation’s energy usage and the need to educate these young minds towardsbecoming stewards of the environment [7]. Energy audits are inquiry-based learning exerciseswith real-life problems which increase learning. This

to the electricalengineering courses can increase the challenges for students and thereby their motivation andinterests [12-27]. Bearing this in mind, the lecturers can give them the form of specificobjectives, contextualized within the subject requirements, formulated as competencies whichthe student must have acquired by the end of a power electronics course, such as:1. Providing the students with the fundamental power electronics concepts and to prepare themfor advanced study in electrical engineering areas.2. To learn how to search for, classify and analyze technical information about equipment andcomponent datasheets and to be able to identify suitable information sources.3. To provide hands-on and experimental experience to supplement

Paper ID #26398Conversion of a Prime Mover: One-third Scale Model-T from Gasoline toElectric PowerDr. John M. Mativo, University of Georgia Dr. John Mativo is Associate Professor at the University of Georgia. His research interest lies in two fields. The first is research focusing on best and effective ways to teaching and learning in STEM K- 16. He is currently researching on best practices in learning Dynamics, a sophomore engineering core course. The second research focus of Dr. Mativo is energy harvesting in particular the design and use of flexible thermoelectric generators. His investigation is both for the high-tech
