This approach is in place at the UnitedStates Military Academy (USMA) where the three-semester capstone model begins with a coursethat does not include an official senior capstone project.23 Instead, the course emphasizes the“soft” sciences, including “design process, methodology, project management, communications,economics and ethics.”23 Students are introduced to the engineering design process andmethodology, and they apply this knowledge to their junior projects before being immersed

The new course format adds components that are not typically included in thestudents’ exposure to the subject. It guides students to explore various energy sources,conversion technologies, and highlights economic, environmental, sustainability, ethical, healthand safety, social, and political issues in energy use.IntroductionMany electrical engineering (EE) programs traditionally include an energy conversion course inthe program requirements for the undergraduate degree.
