“Renewable Energy and Sustainability,” and to provide anassessment plan for the course. The proposed course is designed as general education course.This course does not have a prerequisite and is open to students from all majors as a generaleducation elective. The course uses a combination of lectures, reading discussions, case studies,and demonstrations. Class content includes an extensive review of various renewable energyresources, as well as an analysis of the economic, social, and environmental effects of renewableenergy systems. It also analyzes the effects of politics and government regulation of renewableenergy.IntroductionFor more than a century, human beings have relied on fossil fuel as a primary energy source.However, these conventional

to engineering materials which include metals, ceramics,plastics, and composites in two 100-level courses. Primarily, the contents of these coursesconsisted of topics such as the nature of materials, structure-property relationships,manufacturing methods, and techniques of determining engineering materials’ propertiesaccording to industrial procedures described in the standards such as those of the AmericanSociety for Testing and Materials. These same students, according to their academic plans, wererequired to take a freshman technical design graphics course, where they are introduced to 3Dprinting. Thus, it seemed reasonable to synergistically utilize the skills acquired from two tothree freshman courses in a project-based learning

This transition would be a smooth transition as the student already have gainedprior experience in working with 8-bit microcontroller in its pre-requisite course (2xxx level)offered in the program while keeping the overall scope of the course same. The plan wasshared with and approved by the curriculum committee members.Thus, the author decided to redesign the course “Advanced Embedded System” offered in theauthor’s ECET (Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology) program.This paper describes the modification of the course materials related to a 32-bitmicrocontroller along with its salient

These included:  To ensure that the students had a true product development experience, the capstone course sequence was improved. Prior to this, the capstone experience did require that the students develop an electronic device prototype but often not for a true customer. Now, Page 25.1071.4 the capstone experience requires that all teams have a sponsoring customer and that they interface with the customer to develop requirements and performance specifications prior to design.

This translatesthat the students are supposed to attain the above qualifications at the time of their graduation.This statement has clear scope of reducing faculty burden by emphasizing assessment on somekey courses rather than spending energy and time on many preparatory courses, like, AC, DC,Logic Circuits, and Computer Applications on MS Office, etc., offered particularly at thefreshman and sophomore levels.

The capstone projects are intended to be culminatingexperiences, drawing upon a wide range of knowledge from courses in the curriculum. Studentsare responsible for written project specifications, planning and milestone identification,implementation of the work, an oral presentation, and a final written report.Because these projects are so comprehensive, they provide an opportunity for faculty to assess awide range of student learning that is directly related to program outcomes. For this reason, METfaculty developed a rubric for assessing capstone projects, as shown on the following page
