For example, most of the students do not have available time tospend in the lab performing hands-on learning, or in the library performing more in-depth study.They have difficulty finding time in their schedule to come together as a group and work ongroup projects. Basically, the students surveyed indicated that they do not take advantage offacilities and resources BCTC provides them. As a result, some students fail to pass their classes.Those who do pass do not do learn as much as they could because of limited and inefficent timespent with course material.

The learning takes place in courses that incorporate projects withwell-structured problems, often with both a theoretical classroom and a labcomponent. In the second year, students engage in ill-structured problemsolving in their technically sophisticated capstone projects that integrate theprinciples that students have learned during the first year and continue tolearn and practice in the second year.

Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Incorporating Research and Design in a Community College Engineering ProgramAbstractTraditional engineering undergraduate research and design is typically seen in four-yearinstitutions, restricted to junior- and senior-level students. In large institutions, freshman- andsophomore-level students are generally seen to be ill-equipped to take on complex projects,particularly while muddling through the basics of calculus, physics, and electronics. Ourinstitution, McLennan Community College, through a partnership with the Council onUndergraduate Research (CUR), has been challenging that assumption.

The Annual Energy Outlook 2004 (AEO2004) with projections to 2025 [2,3] presents acritical review of energy use of USA in the residential, commercial, industrial, transportationsectors for the period 1970 - 2025. The graphs from AEO2004 forecast an increase in energyconsumption in most sectors, and that primary energy use will exceed 136 quadrillion Btu peryear by 2025, 40 percent higher than the 2002 level. However, the forecast indicates that theincrease can stabilize as more efficient energy generation and consumption technologies offsetthe demand for more energy.
