All lessons in each of the five courses are recorded in a studio/classroom anddistributed to off-campus students also. The first course in the sequence is a junior-level coursethat serves all EE students with electric power subjects that all EEs will likely encounter in theircareers. These include AC single phase power, single phase two-winding transformers withunderlying magnetics, electromechanical analogs, DC motors, DC/DC converters, billing forutility services, and household wiring.

The main contribution of fuzzy logic is a methodology for computing with words[3], [7], [9]. A key aspect of computing with words is that it involves a fusion of naturallanguages and computation with fuzzy variables.

participants havebeen women and minorities, and 65% plan to pursue engineering in college. IntroductionBy 2010, the Department of Labor predicts a shortage of engineers in the U.S. This shortagemay be attributed to a large group of engineers who will be retiring and a lack of freshengineering talent. Less than 15% of all high school graduates in the U.S. have the math andscience background necessary to enter an undergraduate engineering curriculum.1 Only 2% ofhigh school graduates pursue engineering degrees in college, and only 0.5% of women andminority high school graduates pursue engineering degrees in college.2,3 Proceedings of the 2003 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Annual Conference

Since the exam was administered online during the COVID-19 pandemic, the items for the final exam were chosen from the ACS exam database.

United Tribes Technical College (UTTC) participated only minimally in TCURMP. Inthe last four years, UTTC did not have students in this program.
