greatly familiar with the many technical aspects. Utilizing renewableenergy sources not only provides an excellent opportunity for students to have a deep andrealistic understanding on this subject, but also prepares and train them to test their ideas in ahighly technical research and development atmosphere. The implementation of operationalregimes and conducting verification experiments will be necessary for future students to get intothis area: a) Introduction to hybrid power grids b) Emulation and development of renewable energy sources (in particular wind and solar) c) Integrating techniques and approaches for optimally control and operation of PV and wind emulators along with energy storage system d) Real time energy transfer

Product Design Cycle (RPDC)A Rapid Product Design Cycle (RPDC) was selected as the design project that best met theobjectives of the course and the desired learning outcomes. The RPDC was designed with theprimary aims of: (a) pushing students beyond the conceptual design phase of the design process,and (b) simulating a real-world work environment by: (i) increasing the interdependence betweenstudent teams and (ii) increasing the students’ perceived value of engineering communication. Page 23.218.8The RPDC took place in the last five weeks of the course and was divided into three distinctphases: problem formulation, conceptual design, and detail

research on the impact of podcast usage in higher education is worthy offurther research using not only self-reporting but course performance data.Three of the thirteen participating course sections in this study are Engineering & Technologycourses. A similar study focusing on students in this major could provide valuable insight on theimpact of podcasting on course outcomes.Limitations of this study include missing survey responses (approximately 1/3 of those surveyedboth during control and treatment phases did not complete the entire survey); the data reliedupon student self-reporting of reading and listening habits; finally, only one podcast was used inthis study.Bibliography1.
