disquiet5,6concerning skills and knowledge of engineeringgraduates from Australian universities. The trend towards softer skills can be gauged throughjob advertisements7,8for professional engineers. Since the 1970’s the demand for engineeringskills has undergone a major paradigm shift from one requiring high technical competence toone requiring social and environmental awareness, good oral and written communication aswell as teamwork skills. It is understood that the nature of engineering practice is a multi-disciplinary one. It is world-wise and its context is people.The Australian Science, Technology and Engineering Council identified5 the changinglandscape of engineering practice. The forces responsible for the change were: 1. Global Integration. The

SUMMARY Page 12.205.12The article describes the experience of developing and teaching an electrical engineering coursein a general engineering program. It examines coverage of the electrical topics, discussesteaching approaches and encountered difficulties, and presents possible improvementopportunities. The authors believe that offering electrical engineering course(s) in a generalengineering curriculum is important. Successful

required for the water source (a 12” wide weir capable of producinga 20” head and a variable flow rate of up to 12 gal/s) greatly limited the number of designs thatthe mechanical engineering students could complete.As a result, the team of faculty and staff decided that the mechanical turbine design would berequired to be a Kaplan turbine. The team implemented a drive train to transfer / transform theenergy from the turbine to a rotor based on the chain and sprocket drive of a ten-speed bike. Inthe process, the mechanical specification for the turbine shaft was also defined. The properties ofthe transmission system became constraints for the design project that were provided to both thegenerator and turbine design groups. This modification

, teams seemed much less receptive to the new workshop format (15%rated as good or very good in winter, versus 36% in fall), despite integrating breakout time forteams during workshops. This drop in student receptiveness may be caused by the workshopformat itself and/or its content. Written comments collected during course-end student feedbackfrom the winter quarter as well as ongoing focus groups with students by the guides will helpdistinguish common source(s) of the student’s lack of receptiveness to the workshops. Frommany group discussions, it appears that the drop may be at least partially attributable to the largeincrease in class size between the fall and winter quarters, as well as a change in roomconfiguration. Between the fall and
energygrand challenge and the resources available for instructors to teach energy from amultidisciplinary point of view within engineering. In the sections below, we posit threepotential reasons for the existing disconnect. Entrenched disciplinary boundariesPerhaps the most fundamental reason for the existing disconnect between educational needs andinstructor resources is entrenched disciplinary boundaries. The energy grand challenge hasemerged long after the present set of disciplinary boundaries (economics, engineering, business,political science, etc.) was established. The energy grand challenge exists between and amongthe disciplines as what philosopher Bruno Latour calls a “hybrid.” “Hybrid[s] sketch outimbroglios of science, politics

This allows faculty to take on more ambitious projects; it gives new students experience in coming up to speed on an existing project - as they'll inevitably need to do in a future workplace; and, it gives returning students leadership experience, as they help on-board and organize the activities of new members. 3.

In both engineering design and other PBL processes, solutionsare non-unique and context-specific. And in both contexts, having students begin with the socio-technical concept of technology helps foster a more durable and culturally astute set ofconsiderations when those students perform the iterative process. We see this as corroboratingDym et al.’s labeling of PBL as the “most-favored” pedagogical model for teaching engineeringdesign, citing its potential for positive impact on retention rates, student
