learning methodologies do necessarily require additional work onthe part of students as well as faculty (Barrows, 2000). A pioneer in the area of problem-basedlearning, McMaster University Professor Emeritus, Dr. Donald R. Woods describes acurriculum that is significantly different from the traditional discipline centered curriculum(Woods, 1994). Discovery approach aims to march a step further, when compared with problem-basedlearning. Here the instructor may benefit from the ideas provided by Intel Education. (http://www.intel.com/education/designprojects/) 1. Authentic project work puts students in the driver's seat of their own learning. 2. Instructors should take advantage of curriculum developed by teachers in a large

different majors, they canchoose the system they are most familiar with. First they need to gather useful information, andthen set up their system model to simulate its behavior. Two or three students can work as agroup, and they can collaborate and improve the model they created. After completing thesimulation and verification, they need to write a project report and present the result to the wholeclass. Besides, students are also required to write four essays on the remaining five kinds ofsystems. In these essays students need to review the concepts and theories, and include at leastone application.II.

Asshown in figure four (4), renewable energy use is projected to continue increasing however itdoes not keep pace with use from natural gas or coal. Therefore renewable energy solutions mustbe developed to reduce the dependency on coal for instance.Africa has many avenues for renewable energy including: • Solar power • Geothermal energy • Hydropower • Biomass energy • Wind energy Page 22.1237.7

However, MBSE, whichbegan with an initial focus on upfront engineering, is gradually working its way tospanning the full system life cycle. In particular, MBSE is currently addressingchallenges associated with verification and testing of the system model. This iswhere digital twin technology can play a key role. When incorporated into MBSE,digital twins can greatly enhance verification

need has arisen to define a body ofknowledge relevant to SE.BKCASE is a four year old knowledge-based project with a scope to define a SE Body ofknowledge (SEBoK9) and then use SEBok to develop a graduate reference curriculum for SE,called GRCSE8. A reference curriculum exists at the graduate level for systems engineering(SE), but not at the undergraduate level at present9. The document is ‘forward’ looking withprogram objectives being fulfilled five years after graduation by students in their near to mid-term of their careers. This is in keeping with GRCSE’s goal to develop a professional master’sdegree in SE; that is, a degree intended for someone who will either enter the workforce as asystems engineer, or who is already in the workforces

I still visualize it when working with control/feedback systems in other classes. The analogy was very easy to imagine in the case of the car race because I drive a car and have first-hand knowledge of how driving a car works. By taking an analogy that was easily translated and related to everyday life, I believe I was more accurately able to understand steady-state errors.

Similarly, an analysis of the responses from faculty and industrysuggest that bench-top lathes are a viable alternative to larger industrial lathes. Bench-top lathes,because of their size, have limitations, such as reduced capacity and less rigidity, therebyrestricting the size materials that can be produced by these lathes. However, because of materialcosts, it may be more appropriate for students to work on smaller projects in educational settings.Finding ways to continue to educate students using effective pedagogical practices and preparingthem for various field of work may require some creative thinking in a time of fiscal
