TechnologyMajor (ENET), a concentration within Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) that focuses on electricalenergy and power systems. As part of this degree program, a gateway course will be required for all EETsophomores that is designed to recruit into the ENET major, to serve as an introduction to AC systemsanalysis, and to explain electric energy and power systems in a systems context. This course wasdesigned specifically with the IEEE mandate in mind, and great importance was placed on meeting theprogram characteristics described above. Therefore, the course content was chosen to emphasize theapplication of building renewable and efficient electric power systems. Topics such as renewable energyresources (wind, solar, and fuel cells), cleaner

theresistance of resistors, the current in a closed electrical circuit, the voltage drop across resistors,light emitting diodes (LEDs), and batteries. Using a signal generator and an oscilloscope,students learned the difference between dc and ac voltage signals. Ohm’s law was also coveredin this module. An attempt was made to determine the speed of sound with the signal generator,oscilloscope, a loudspeaker, a microphone, and a meter ruler. In addition to using DMM tomeasure the resistance of resistors, the students learned how to use color codes to determine thevalue of the resistance of resistors. Figure 4 shows an example of the color code used for thisexercise. Figure 5 shows an example of schematic electrical diagrams that students worked on.This

every semester, etc.For the EET 223-Digital Electronics, the author of this paper made changes only in the theoryclass, being assigned to teach this class only two times in the last three years. Changes in thiscourse are in work and they are coordinated by another instructor in the EET department. In thetheory course, more time was spent on sequential circuits and timing diagrams and less time onreviewing combinational circuits and the specific characteristics of combinational and sequentialcircuits from the 74HC xx and 74SNxx series.In the second part of the course, the electrical DC and AC characteristics of CMOS family werecovered, emphasizing concepts such as low power dissipation, noise margin, rise time, falltime, ground bounce, reading

experiences with the transition of our engineering technology programsto engineering programs, because we found very little guidance from the literature for either ac-crediting new programs [1-2] or transitioning from engineering technology to engineering [3].Therefore, we relied on anecdotal information through personal connections with acquaintances atprograms that either transitioned engineering technology programs to engineering programs oradded engineering programs to engineering technology programs and our own efforts. This paperbriefly explains the engineering technology programs’ history leading up to the transition to engi-neering programs. It then explains why we believed that transitioning to engineering programswas the right decision for

By the end of this project, theteam was successful in configuring the wind-energy training unit so that it could properly chargea battery, output AC and DC for a powered light, and emulate each operation mode of acommercial Microwind turbine. The wind-energy modular training unit is a system that safelyconverts kinetic to electrical energy using the rotational motion from a wind turbine in acontrolled environment. For indoor use, a 24-volt DC motor was used to simulate the wind effecton the shaft of a generator of a traditional wind turbine.By the end of this project, the team was able to

enthusiastic individual with a passion for teaching and the ability to think outside the box. When Aaron became the head of the electronics program at St. Cloud Technical & Community College in 2009, the program’s existence was being threatened by very low enrollment. Since then, he has been the driving force for the success of the program and has played a major role in the development of other new programs at SCTCC. Aaron was instrumental in helping SCTCC partner with Xcel Energy in 2010 to develop the Nuclear Tech- nician Program. The program is designed to prepare graduates for work as Nuclear Plant Maintenance Technicians. The nuclear track is the newest addition to SCTCC’s current catalog of energy tracks: wind
