, “Effective Teaching of Engineering: LinkingTheory to Practice,” (ENE 595G) was designed for GTAs within an innovative first-yearengineering laboratory course (ENGR 126) to provide an opportunity to extend GTAs’teaching professional development (NSF #0632879). ENGR 126 introduces all first-yearengineering students to computer skills and techniques, provide practice withfundamental engineering concepts, and foster open-ended problem solving activities,known as model-eliciting activities (MEAs)[9]. GTAs are responsible for supervisingweekly 2-hour laboratory sessions. Within these laboratories, they provide formative andsummative feedback on students’ assignments, and guide students through the weeklytasks. In addition, GTAs design and grade quizzes

For four years, we worked to implement three inclusive practices: standards-based grading with reflection [2], [3], co-created assessment [3], [4], [5], and peer review [2] ofwritten deliverables in a sophomore-level experimental design laboratory and lecture course.This work focuses on peer review, though it utilizes the former two practices in doing so.Briefly, standards-based grading (SBG) is a formative assessment approach that allows fortracking of objective proficiency throughout the curriculum and allows for just-in-time

difference solutions. Educationally, distance learning classes offer unique challenges to teaching of numericalanalysis for engineers. While it is very common to use programs such as MATLAB for teachingnumerical analysis, licensing this type of program is expensive and therefore not alwaysavailable at the distance learning site. Using more conventional programming languages such asC or FORTRAN are also not as useful for distance learning for the same reason that compliersare expensive and not generally accessible to industrial distance learning sites and freewarecompilers are not always robust enough for class work where time is limited. The need for arobust programming platform for industrial partners at distance learning sites is critical

Turner text was well regarded bystudents mainly for the reasons for which the book was chosen in the first place: readability andreal world problems.Regarding the case study approach, the majority of the students commented favorably on thecase study approach overall and / or singled out an individual topic that interested them. Thecase study approach was an overwhelming success with the majority of the feedback beingfavorable and remarkably few negative responses. The just-in-time teaching technique wasfound to be seamless in its application with some favorable feedback on the flow and structure ofthe course.A common theme in the feedback was an appreciation for “hands on application”.

The second purpose is to bring attention to the need to teach electrical power to university students across the country. The teaching of electrical power principles has been de-emphasized by many universities across the country [2]. The number of electrical engineers graduating with a power concentration is about 500 per year [3]. Although hard data of the number of power engineers needed in the coming years is hard to come up with, there is a general feeling that there will be a shortage. This problem is being
