the greater good o Alumni will uphold and advance the core values of: Community, Character, Civility, Citizenship, Commitment, and the university’s commitment to sustainability. o Alumni will behave with integrity in ways consistent with the Association of Energy Engineers Code of Ethics, the NSPE Code of Ethics, and their company’s values and beliefs, and will engage with other professionals through relevant professional societies and/or company ‘communities of practice’. Signs of upholding and advancing these values and contributing to the greater good could include: • Being engaged in the world and thinking beyond
energy sources into the distribution sector • Use MATLAB to read data, perform simulations and test out use cases for power distribution systems.ABET OutcomesThe course also used ABET Outcomes as a focal point for student learning. The ABET Outcomesused were mapped from old ABET Outcomes (a)-(k) to new ABET outcomes 1-7 using [1]. Theapplicable ABET Outcomes for the course were: 1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics 4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and
more design alternatives to better solve the problem. It isagreed that such attribute can only be developed by exposing students to the experience of open-ended problem solving which includes linking engineering science knowledge to complex, real-life design problems. Apart from the engineering and technical issues, these problem solvingactivities should include extra- and trans-disciplinary and soft factors, such as economic,environmental, sustainability, manufacturability ethical, health and safety, social and politicalconsiderations. It is well-accepted that such problem-based learning type is only achieved byusing quite complex project scenarios, and therefore requires careful planning and integrationinto the rest of the curriculum in
advised them to design a fuel cell stack system that would meet desired power output,conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, and solve engineering problems. Before thestudents started the course, the project advisor selected the project topic which was thecontinuation of the 2017 REU summer internship project.The course advisor instructed students once a week on topics including: how to write a projectproposal, share responsibilities, design realistic constraints and marketing requirement, maptimeline, identify professional and ethical responsibilities, present collected data, andcommunicate effectively. Once a week, the course advisor assessed students’ performance oncourse assignments and the project advisor evaluated students’ project

Criteria for Baccalaureate Level Programs”, Criterion 3, as follows [2]: • Outcome 2: “an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.” • Outcome 4: “an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.”Various experiential learning strategies in general and service learning in particular are some oftools in educators’ disposal to teach these skills [3].

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
