ETD 545 Industry Informed Curriculum Development in Engineering Technology: Solar PV Planning and Installation Mohsen Azizi New Jersey Institute of TechnologyIntroductionThe power generation industry has been gradually switching from traditional fossil generators torenewable energy systems (RESs), which are more efficient and environmentally friendly, in thepast two decades. This trend has given rise to the job market demand for a new generation ofengineers and technicians from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)fields, who are

Application of some of these methods havebeen incorporated in my senior engineering economics curriculum and others introduced in ageneral freshman foundation course.Traditional MethodsDefinitions and Student Codes of Responsibilities and EthicsSome of the more traditional methods used in my freshman course are assessing studentunderstanding of the definitions of ethical issues, and having students analyze students’ codes ofresponsibilities, and conduct at our university[2]. Our university posts these codes on the homewebsite. Students are given assignments to define academic dishonesty and list four examples. A

the solution, thus promoting computational thinking as a process applied in real-world applications. Many studies report on the measurable advantages that a computing environment such as the MathWorks MATLAB/Simulink provide in engineering [12].Therefore, the approach taken to organize this new course comprised the following four steps: Step 1. Reveal how science and engineering problems from various fields exhibit overlapping and often equal mathematics challenges and that complex problems can be decomposed into more basic problems (computational thinking). Step 2. Present the science or engineering problem solution that can be decomposed to a common mathematics formulation, for example, a set of

If the focus is e-mobility, a course in power electronics, electricdrives, and electric powertrain would be ideal. If three courses are not possible, a beginner’scourse in power electronics and a comprehensive electric powertrain course would be sufficient.If renewable energy is an option in the program, an electrical power system course and arenewable energy integration course would suffice.

This approachensures students experience the full spectrum of formal ethics instruction. This paper reveals thisUniversity’s creative approach teaching ethics, using the aforementioned techniques.IntroductionAt this university, both Electrical (EE) and Computer (COE) engineering programs areaccredited through ABET (the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc).

Over theensuing decades, funding has increased dramatically, up to $2,500 per project, with requiredsupplemental institutional or departmental matching funds.The first projects were, of necessity, small in scope and utilitarian in nature, including

Based on these findings, we investigated ETS students’ longitudinalresponses in the areas of change-readiness, engineering self-efficacy, and intent to persist usingthree classic, validated surveys (Appendix A).

This approach enforces one of the basic rules in professionalpractice, which is working with teams that the students do not choose.Concepts of engineering project management that students learn in their curriculum areincorporated into the senior project course by integrating the time, scope, and cost dimensions ofa project in the process of development.A team usually consists of 2-4 students, with 3-5 projects in each class.
