This fact is behind a general trend of teaching applied engineeringsubjects with minimal students’ involvement with physical set-ups including: laboratoryexperiments. Carrying out laboratory experiments and generating experimental data, visiting aproject site, and using pencil and paper to produce a schematic, are gradually fading away. Thesetraditional tools were instrumental in developing an engineering common sense. It is argued herethat generating data from physical models is potentially a great learning tool, particularly whenthe model is built by the students.

that introduceshigh school students to electrical engineering, renewable energy related knowledge and relevanthands-on projects to teach power concepts. Because our camp instructors are engineering facultyresearching complex problems related to power and energy, we are able to transition researchproblems into applications for high school students that allow them to learn and master conceptsduring the Smart Grid camp. The goal of this paper is to share our experience and knowledge indesigning an effective precollege education outreach activity by collaborating with graduatestudents, undergraduate students (including visiting Research Experience Undergraduate (REU)students), and faculty members across several universities.

Ourthreads of learning approach allows faculty to teach ethical decision making in courses nottraditionally associated with ethics and provides students a more continuous exposure to ethicaldecision making. Students are introduced to the Civil Engineering Ethics Thread (CEET) at thevery start of their academic career during fall quarter of freshman year. Students are given a briefintroduction to the concept of the ethical thread of learning. At that time, they also complete apersonality assessment, as well as a survey to rate their perception of what is ethical when given avariety of scenarios, to identify their own set of personal values. At the end of the quarter, thesurvey results are revealed to students for the purpose of
