Paper ID #35673Using a Whole House Generator as a Teaching AidMr. Harley H. Hartman P.E., Pennsylvania State University, York Campus Assistant Teaching Professor in Engineering York Campus EMET Program Coordinator American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Using a Whole House Generator as a Teaching AidAbstractThis paper explores the pedagogy of engineering education with reference to using real-worldexamples of the materials learned in the classroom. Making this unique to other tours ordemonstrations is the fact that it is exposing the student to information learned
experience, or more preferably, those with industrial experience related to professional skills and productdevelopment exposure gained during schooling. Hence, schools are under pressure to provide students withthe employability skills for career development and lifelong learning [6]. Moreover, an IEEE report titled“Designing a career in biomedical engineering” [7] highlights the importance of interdisciplinary skills inthe workplace and asks “what major should I choose” to enter the bioengineering field. As indicated inFigure 3, two educational paths can serve the biotechnology sector, Path B which according to our industrypartners is heavily overlooked and not discussed, making engineers in this area scarce and in-demand.They state that

circuit, were used to accomplish the goals ofthis lab. For the circuit in Fig. 3(a), students manually derived the output voltage (Vout) infunction of V1, V2, R1, R2, R3, and R4, then used the 741 Op-Amp model in the Multisimlibrary to create and simulate the circuit. The measured output voltage, Vout, was comparedwith manual calculations.For the circuit of Fig. 3(b), students created the circuit, measure Vout, and compared it with thesource voltage VS. In addition, the currents going into terminals 2 and 3 were measured as wellas the current flowing out of pin 6. Students were asked to answer a few critical questions aboutthe operation of the circuit and its usefulness. R2

union of the adjacent intervals.Let us consider the following examples: a) The function, y(x), defined implicitly in the upper-half plane by the equation: |x|+|y|=2 See Figure 10 below.In the first quadrant both x and y are positive and therefore the Right-Hand Limit at the origin ofthe function y = 2 – x is the value, 2. In the second quadrant, y is positive but |x| equals –x. TheLeft-Hand Limit at the origin of the function y = x + 2 is the value 2. Both one-sided limitsequal 2. If y(0) is defined to be 2, the point gap is filled in and the function will be continuouson the interval –2 < x < 2. This function has a cusp at x = 0 and is excluded for valuesof |x| > 2. b

Performance in Prerequisite Subjects as Freshmen (n=89) and in Statics and Data Analysis as Sophomores (n=64)On the whole, students do fairly well in the prerequisite subjects, but their performance drops offconsiderably in entry level engineering courses. A substantial number of participants received afailing grade in their sophomore level engineering courses. We posit that this decline inperformance is due to difficulty in applying theory to practice, difficulty in developing criticalthinking skills and robust study skills, and a lack of connection to the discipline and futureprofession.Although it is difficult to draw
