However, there is some indication that many of the student criticisms related to thisissue reflected issues that arise when a course is being taught for the first time.As an example: There was a philosophy of the instructors not to give the students all of theinformation on some projects at the start, so that the students would be forced to discuss the projectwith their teammate(s), analyze the problem, note any information they

Moreover, the students compared NOx emission from the gas turbine power plant with acoal-fired power plant of the same capacity to understand the impact of using clean natural gas. Another project is to design a 350MW wind farm. In this project, the students were giventhe power required so they only needed to choose the type and number of wind turbines toproduce 350 MW of electricity. Students made the assumptions on the parameters such as heightand wind conditions of the location, spacing between turbines, power coefficient, andefficiencies of the transmission and generation. Based on these data, the students chose 2 MWBonus turbine with a design wind speed of 12 m/s. The total

The purpose of the curriculum is two-fold: 1) to make technicalprofessionals aware of how engineering practice relates to an organization’s legal duties and 2)to encourage those professionals to engage in policy debates that shape business regulation andthe common law. From an educational perspective, the curriculum is a logical extension oftraditional science and

This paperdescribes the evolution of the integrative senior design course in the Electrical EngineeringProgram at the United States Military Academy (USMA). In the early 1980’s the senior designproject in the Electrical Engineering Program at USMA was an individual project completed atthe end of the final electronics course. The design project has since evolved into a two-semesterdesign course with interdisciplinary group projects. Throughout the two-semester course,students work with a dedicated faculty advisor to develop a written project proposal, several in-progress reviews, a prototype demonstration, and a final report.

early 1990's in response to industry needfor university graduates with a broad knowledge of science and technology and excellentanalytical and problem-solving skills. The goal was to produce university graduates with theability to manage a broad range of technologies and solve science, technology andengineering related problems. A second important goal was to attract and retain students,including minorities, who ordinarily would not have selected an engineering program.Accomplishing both goals from a pedagogical viewpoint required a paradigm shift in theway science and engineering courses are traditionally taught in universities. It required thedesign of interdisciplinary courses with careful and deliberate integration of concepts from abroad
