Many grid operations arevitally dependent on monitoring, collecting, processing transmitting and sharing data. Powerengineering has commoditized the electric network and computation solutions, finding the off-the-shelves products that fit the needs, by defining a logical mapping between desired functionsand communication standards.

Subsequently the time to be allotted to each topic and the number and types of testsare decided. This approach is simple for the instructor. However, it does not address the big pictureof how the course contents fit into the program students are enrolled in, and what students shouldlearn so they are better prepared for the following courses and career paths. Being mindful of thisbig picture is very important for an instructor in an undergraduate aerospace engineering program.Therefore, for the flight dynamics class the author used the second approach, called the

Most of our Community College students have trouble in the understanding of“to memorize” versus “to remember”. “To memorize” can be misinterpreted by communitycollege students to represent a rote learning of physics with a grading rubric adhered to the exactwords and numeric values in a physics textbook example. “To remember” involves awillingness of oneself in judgment and will be strengthened by repeated exercises.

Furthermore, attention to learning styles and learner diversity has beenshown to increase student interest and motivation to learn.

The need for connections and the potential lack ofpossibilities inside a home department suggest looking outside of engineering and sciencedepartments to find peers. Peer mentoring is accepted as useful for students, and the samebenefits that come from learning from others are valuable for new faculty. By seekinginterdisciplinary peers, the effects of "data" sparsity are reduced, especially since problems facedby first year teachers are rarely discipline-specific. New faculty benefit from multipleinformation channels about their institutions. In addition, discussions about teaching among aninterdisciplinary group
