Introduction On April 10th 1994, an Alliance for Education Reform Movement held a parade to cry outfor an education reform in Taiwan. For more than a decade, the Taiwanese education system,from elementary schools to universities, has been reshaped by the education reform. There isno intention to depict the details of Taiwanese education reform. Nonetheless, the impact ofchanges in

Union address by President George W.Bush, approving federal funding for hydrogen fuel cell research for passenger vehicles. Similarannouncements were made by state governors, most notably Michigan Governor JenniferGranholm, stating “not only will we build these cars in Michigan, our Automotive TechnologyCorridor will help develop the fuel cell technology those cars will run on.”Inherent within the nation’s initiative should be the development of educational programs relatedto fuel cells and other aspects of the hydrogen economy, including advantages anddisadvantages. This is important since hydrogen has been proposed for use in transportationapplications as a replacement fuel for gasoline, with fuel cells replacing the internal combustionengine

promising, a proposal wasdeveloped. The areas studied included: • Wind power – the goal of this sub-project is to install a wind turbine on the MTU campus to power a small building and/or improve the visibility of alternative energy technology. A potential industrial partner was found; however, the installed cost of the 600 kW turbine was too high to make the turbine profitable for the industrial partner or the university. AFE is currently looking at smaller wind turbines that may alleviate these cost issues. • Ice resurfacer – the goal of this sub-project is to power an ice resurfacer using a fuel cell or with the existing internal combustion engine modified for hydrogen combustion.

A deductive style would then be used to dissect thephenomenon and educate the student on the workings of the constituent parts and how theyfunction as a whole. This combined learning style is called “student-centered” learning anddepends heavily on student involvement. This combination is the justification for use of theinquiry-based methods described later.Module ObjectivesThe modeling of real batch distillation systems is mathematically intensive and often requiresnumerical solutions. Engineering software packages can be used to familiarize students withpractical design parameters associated with batch distillation units and to teach to role of keyprocess variables (reboiler power input, reflux ratio

point Chemical and Mechanical Engineering are the only two coreengineering discipline divisions that have committed to a diversity effort. It is our hope that thiswill change during the ‘year of action on diversity’.To quantify the prevalence of diversity-related efforts in engineering education, we did akeyword search for articles that appeared in the Journal of Engineering Education (JEE) and inthe European Journal of Engineering Education (EJEE). The number of relevant articles in thesejournals will reflect the diversity-related efforts happening in the United States (JEE) and Europe(EJEE). The keywords ‘diversity’, ‘women’, ‘minority’, and ‘gender’ were used as search termsfor homologous hits in article titles. Two other keywords commonly
