Reese Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering Colorado State University1. Introduction Mastering key concepts within electrical engineering often involves students taking coursesin electronics, signals and systems, and electromagnetics. These courses are typically taughtduring the middle two years of an electrical engineering program where these courses are oftentaught in parallel during semesters, however, typically few interactions occur among them.Consequently, students learn key concepts in

Linking theory and calculations from the lecture to somethingconcrete to which the students are routinely exposed provides relevancy and can successfullyreinforce key aspects of the topic. This paper illustrates the integration of a practical exampleinto a chemical engineering curriculum, with the example pulled from a Mass and EnergyBalances course.The problem involves calculation of the power required to vaporize the liquid in an electroniccigarette (e-cigarette or vaporizer). Solution of this problem requires a coupled mass and energybalance and requires some knowledge of vapor-liquid equilibrium. Obviously, someassumptions are required to analyze this problem. Even with these assumptions, a reasonableestimate of

In order to achieve the most effective integration, a well-plannedpreparatory phase should first be completed (Verhulst & Lambrechts, 2015). Our department’sSDE includes an elective upper level course dedicated solely to sustainable projects (rangingfrom piezoelectric-power to clean air filters to tiny homes) and general inclusion throughout thecurriculum. At this time there are no specific requirements per each course for SDE. However,our department is redesigning the entire curriculum towards a project-based curriculum, whichopens the door to make a more concrete plan for SDE. In order to create

An initial survey was used to assess thestudent’s ability to perform structural analysis and interpret construction drawings. A finalsurvey assessed the gains made within each class (i.e., design of reinforced concrete and steel)and the gains made in material related to ancillary topics. Furthermore, comparisons were madebetween the initial and final project submittals in the different classes and between feedbackrecorded by the instructors of each class.
