class that "we have to take to graduate." With this in mind, it isimperative to continuously provide practical examples in lecture and interesting up-to-date labexperiences, to show that the material is applicable to all specialties in EE. Following this tack,students see the material to be immediately useful and are thus more motivated. Although it maytake some time to reverse the old perceptions of the "power course," students entering this courseseem to have fewer negative preconceptions than in past years.SUMMARYThe traditional Electrical Engineering Energy Conversion course is broken. We need to fix it byupdating the material, broadening the scope, and shifting the focus. Recent advances in powerelectronics and permanent magnets need to be

4D campus model. Some suggestions to overcome theselimitations and the merit of the 4D campus model in learning construction planning andscheduling will also be discussed. IntroductionIn construction planning, a project is broken into identifiable work packages to build alogical network among these packages. The process of building the logical networkrequires reading drawings, visualizing structures in mind, finding relationship betweenactivities, and estimating the duration required to complete each activity. Therepresentation of the logical network has long been made by a CPM network or a bar chart.However, students often find it difficult to intuit construction schedule by reading two-dimension (2D

The author developed a report card approach to accomplish this (Merino, Jun 1996; Merino,Koen, Oct 1996).IX. Implications for Project ManagementMany companies which use project management do not have a TQM/CPI activity related to projects.And many companies who have both TQM/CPI programs do not apply these to project managementactivities. A major reason for this lack of CPI for projects is the mind set that projects are one-timeand TQM is continuous. Hopefully, applying this paper’s concepts will overcome this problem.There is a second problem in applying CPI to projects. It is the

outputs can be classified into five categories, namely energy,material, information, generalized forces (includes moments) and generalized displacements(includes rotations). The later two categories are included to easily understand some of themechanical engineering tasks. The routes, through which the inputs are processed by the designto create the outputs, are called transmission paths that includes the processes of transfer,transmit, and transform. Thus, tracing the transmission paths is a crucial step in di entifyingfunctionality.2.3.

Notably, learning tocommunicate effectively (oral and written) requires correct sentence structure, which is lackingskill and requires assistance.Recognizing the root problem of engineering students' technical writing as inappropriate use ofsentence structure in English, this paper focuses on creating means to allow students to conveytheir thoughts using correct sentence structure. Prior literature suggests that complete sentenceseffectively allow an individual to communicate with another because complete sentencesenhance the strength and meaning of the ideas in the writer's mind [10].We hypothesize that this model will assist students in classifying written sentences asdeclarative, interrogative, imperative

Project ProposalAs a junior in the OC engineering program, David Compton was also a percussionist in the OCband and involved in some stage productions. He saw that setting up microphones for drumstook a long time and that they were easy to knock over. He saw a potential to do a systemsdesign project that would address this issue, and his original idea was to find a way to putmicrophones inside drums. He confided in several relatives and friends, and they all warned himagainst revealing too much to his professors. They had in mind professors who might be lookingfor an idea to steal. But from
