The new all-electric ship program provides a platform for increasedcontrol and utilization of electric power systems to improve ship features of reconfiguration andsurvivability. The industry now needs more electrical power engineers to solve its futurechallenges.This paper will describe efforts at our university to integrate more shipboard power system topicsinto the undergraduate and graduate curriculum.

-disciplinary engineering program was initiatedat the Polytechnic campus of Arizona State University. A key feature of this program is theemphasis on a Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach to engineering education. Under thispedagogy, students are assigned engineering projects that are carefully planned by the faculty sothat their completion requires mastery of specific sets of traditional engineering topics.Whenever possible, needed topics are presented by faculty members on a “just in time” basisthroughout the curriculum, so that students immediately apply theoretical knowledge to realworld engineering problems. This paper presents an example of the implementation of thispedagogy in a course designed to involve students in an ongoing research

It is possibly a result of the specialist approach to education that has led practicingengineers to increasingly rely on vendors and outside specialists rather than their own technicalabilities.
