In this sense, theacademia seems to have placed the emphasis on hard and technical skills, while, non-technical ones,have been left in a secondary stage in the case of engineers, ignoring their role on their professionaldevelopment. This project proposes a model that will bring together more than 180 engineeringstudents and 4 university professors, by involving them in a real challenge that they might solve bymeans of their

The project isbased on the model of change that identifies effective change as a top-down policy drivenapproach through a central authority, in this case, a statewide board of regents that oversees allpublic universities. The model for top-down change is particularly suited to a small, rural statewhere a) n-values for gender related statistics at any institution may not be statisticallysignificant b) institutional relations allow for cross-state cooperation and c) size of theinstitutions allows for timely implementation and assessment of policies.

The intent of the trackingsystem is to maintain a perpendicular angle from the surface of the panel cells to the sun’semitting light rays in-order to maintain optimal power storage throughout the course of the day. Improved design and development of an omni-directional solar tracking system can beconsidered for implementation at an industry scale for achieving optimal power

learning is becoming more common in engineering education. Litzinger et al.argue that expertise is developed through significant learning experiences such as applyingknowledge to real-world problems [1]. Solving real-world problem increases student motivationas well as promotes deep learning and development of expertise. Improvement in engineeringeducation can be realized by the introduction of more “authentic” learning experiences.Authentic learning is social as well as cognitive and includes interpersonal communication, self-directed research, and a focus on the customer just like in a real workplace [2]. Business contextis another element of authenticity. Projects that enhance the ability to create value areworthwhile for both budding

This course does not have an explicit laboratorysection assigned to it so these experiments face two constraints: First, they take place during thelecture time, and second, they typically take place in a lecture room which does not have test andmeasurement equipment. The solution to this is to require each student to purchase a low costmicrocontroller board that they can use with their personal laptops which they bring to class.Many of the experiments do not need test equipment, but when this is needed lab space must bereserved or the students must complete the projects on their own time.In the following
