In particular, it illustrates how the activities of anewly established Missouri Industrial Assessment Center (U.S. Department of Energy, IACProgram) in the College of Engineering can be logically integrated with both graduate andundergraduate engineering education in this regard.Missouri Industrial Assessment CenterWith the backing of the U.S. Department of Energy, and in partnership with the Missouri StateDepartment of Natural Resources (MoDNR), the State Department of Economic Development,the University of

The course was designed to address the policy,economic, and societal issues of energy, in order to complement the more technical coursesrequired as part of the undergraduate certificate. In order to minimize any additional credit hoursrequired of students pursuing the certificate, the course was also designed to fit within theUniversity’s new General Education requirements as a “Global Dynamics” course. The course isalso well suited to cover the broader “impacts” of engineering as required by ABET. The paperalso overviews class structure and teaching method to promote active student inquiry into thematerial. I. IntroductionIn Fall 2010, the University of

A solution to this is presented in this paper in the form of a lesson planwith introductory information of the coal power generation process, equipment utilized, andsome of the policies and concerns surrounding coal use. This paper can serve to start a dialog inenergy courses and provide future directions for students interested in pursuing energy careers.Introduction Coal for utility-scale electrical power generation has been in widespread use forapproximately a century. It is currently the largest energy source for electrical power andremains cheap and abundant.1 While many

In renewable energycourses, active learning can be achieved through a variety of activities which include lab andproject experiments with hands-on projects and hands-on laboratory experiments [14-17].There are recent renewable energy related projects that have been created to focus on studentlearning and promotion of clean energy sources. According to a recent project report, anintegrated electric power system was designed and installed in the Taylor Wilderness ResearchStation in central Idaho by a team of undergraduate and graduate students under the supervisionof faculty. Projects included establishment of a hydroelectric generator, a photovoltaic array, afossil fuel generator, and control units. The results of this

Such trends have resulted in increased interests inattending power electronics courses at all levels, as well as in offering short courses, workshopsand training sessions for professionals. In response to these demands, the universities offeringbaccalaureate and graduate degrees in electrical and electronics engineering must developcurricula to educate a workforce that is well equipped to meet these challenges.Teaching power electronics is challenging since the field is broad, requiring knowledge inmultiple areas of electrical and computer engineering. The course provider job is often mademore difficult because the theoretical analysis of topics, such as magnetic characteristics, thermalanalysis or compensator design, is particularly
AND CONCLUSIONSThe current project has been successful in engaging educators and researchers from the"STEAM" disciplines. Through hands-on learning activities in classroom, field, and laboratorysettings, participants are sensitized to the critically important issues of the "carbon cycle" and itsrelevance to "biodiesel" and climate change and the utilization of natural resources and wastesfor the generation of bio-products. Survey instruments have been developed to document andanalyze feedback from the participants about the classroom, field, and laboratory components ofthe institute. Teacher training materials such as workbooks focusing on topics related to biodieseland bio-products from natural resources and wastes are also developed along

With the energy and powerindustry in an evolving state we are learning that there is a shortage of qualified power engineersespecially with the high number of baby boomers reaching the retiring age. The powerengineering workforce is becoming undersized in comparison to the growing demand and thelegacy of the existing power systems experience needs to be conserved in order to successfullytransition into the new era of power technology[11]. The academia is seeking ways to improve itspower engineering curriculum and bring awareness in the power and energy industry to producemore graduates. The following section presents the

By training educators (grades 6-16), it is anticipated that the students at middle andhigh schools, and four year colleges will not only be reached, but also become more aware ofgreenhouse gas emissions, climate change, and the deleterious effects arising due to dependenceon foreign oil.
