identify where the most heatwavedays occur. The final lesson of the module has students consider the question, “How does ahuman’s perspective influence a data visualization?” Teams write their own definition of aheatwave and then reflect on how they think their personal experiences may have influencedtheir definition (see Figure 4). After teams share their definitions and resultant datavisualizations, students reflect upon how human perspectives can influence the algorithms usedto produce data visualizations and ponder how adjusting the definition could support certainpoints of view. Students are asked, “As engineers who use data visualizations to frame aproblem, what do we need to be cautious about/mindful of?” (YES, 2023b). Fostering

Further,globalization of the world’s economy must be addressed in changes in engineering education,since engineers will now be working under a worldwide framework4, 11. To retain and engagestudents, teachers must provide an avenue for innovation and creativity. Traditional lectures inscience and engineering education result in a passive form of learning and may not be the mostefficient for student education7, 8. Constructivists assert that learning is “constructed” in thelearner’s mind through experiences11. The reference goes on to assert that this is particularly truefor women and minorities.

Reading about the revelations in Michigan brings to our minds the discovery andattempted cover-up of lead in the Washington D.C. water supply, which Drs. Donna Riley andYanna Lambrinidou wrote about in their 2015 ASEE paper, “Canons against Cannons? SocialJustice and the Engineering Ethics Imaginary” [5]. Similar to in Washington D.C., Flint Stateofficials are being accused of failing to act soon enough and in the best interests of the citizens.Both of these cases highlight the inherent socio-technical nature of engineered systems – afeature of engineering which, we and many others

-- to “change our mind-sets,not just our problem-sets.” One of the objectives of the sustainability program in GeorgiaTech’s curriculum was to permeate a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses withthe principles of sustainability, but the faculty have seen that goal as evolutionary, beingrealized as faculty discover the relevance of the topic to their particular interests. Chameau hasacknowledged that incremental “tweaking” of the environment, and of engineering programs,will not lead to sustainability, but that curricular change requires time: to motivate faculty, tochange their sustainability mind-sets, and for them to interact with those with otherperspectives (Chameau, 1999).As an evolutionary effort, not everything can be done at

While at first glance that may seem minor, thisgives students the opportunity in their freshmen year to truly imagine themselves as an engineerin the future and have an understanding of what that looks

Figure 16: Spring break in the sun with Dynamics book nearby.In-class DiscussionsAs previously mentioned, many of these cartoons were created to help facilitate asking Socraticquestions. It is not uncommon for students to freeze when a question posed by the instructorseems to be asking them to “read my mind”. An example question in Fluid Mechanics is “whydo you think sound travels faster in water than air?” They’ll commonly answer, “because wateris denser,” but a preferred response is to identify the differences in vapor and liquid stiffnessesand make a connection to compressibility.

In this undergraduate engineering class, we teach for that class but keep in mind the needto encourage students to keep learning, keep searching and keep refining their ability forwriting/communicating well, over their coming 30-year-long professional career. The lifelonglearning standard was established in the 2000 ABET accreditation process with criteria 3i thatstated that programs must demonstrate that their students attain “a recognition of the need for,and an ability to engage in lifelong learning” [7]. Canada followed with 3.1.12, LifelongLearning [1]. Since
and longer time since such power engineering courses were offered [36-48].We have also have to keep in mind that an upgrading of a power engineering laboratory is anexpensive enterprise and requires adequate laboratory facility, space and support. Recent powerindustry developments demonstrate that technical understanding of power systems, underscoredby hands-on laboratory experience, is even more important than some might have previouslythought. A versatile laboratory, providing coverage separately or in combination, became avaluable asset, which can be used for various experiments, while emphasizing on different facetsof power systems analysis, power electronics and control, machine characteristics or energyconversion concepts.
