of primary energy in thermal-based distributed energy systemsAbstract: The use of highly energy-efficient technologies is an important tool to tackle today’senergy and environmental challenges. The importance of these technologies creates a need tofocus on the development of energy courses as part of the engineering curriculum. In suchenergy-related courses, user-friendly applications such as MS Excel can be used to enhanceeducational goals like the assessment of the energy consumption of these energy-efficienttechnologies. This research paper presents the MS Excel-based tool developed to minimize theconsumption of fossil fuel-based primary energy of a Distributed Energy (DE) system, whichincludes base Combined Heat and Power

then incorporated into a computer code to calculate total relativedisplacement under arbitrary history of shear loading. MotivationIt is hard to find structural elements in engineering applications that would not have anyjointed connections. The search for joints’ accurate modeling has been on-going for yearsbut with limited success. The latter is mainly attributed to the complexity of physicalprocesses taking place in the contact region when a joint is subjected to loading. Forexample, a contact between two surfaces always results in energy dissipation caused byfriction in shear micro-displacements. It leads to a highly non-linear behavior of a joint.The other challenge is related to the fact that the

The next step was to organize a plan of what the ideal production flow should become.The Toyota example demonstrates that management must always consider appropriatemeasurements and feedback links at every part of production. The goal is to transform theprocess into a continuous flow based on a pull strategy and to balance production based onanticipated demand. The first noticeable result of continuous flow is the reduction in set-uptimes. Page 10.730.17Proceedings of the 2005 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference &

Unfortunately, only around 16% of high school seniors are bothproficient in math and interested in STEM fields [4]. Only 17% of bachelor’s degrees awarded toU.S. citizens are in STEM fields [5], and roughly 30% of chemistry and physics teachers in U.S.public high schools did not major in these fields and

Out of the four key stakeholders(students, faculty, industry and society) in engineering education, industry is considered a majorone as it is a ultimate customer for the students universities graduate [3]. Not only does theindustry set the requirements for the engineering education but also plays a pivotal role inshaping the curriculum to meet the evolving needs of the workforce.

Upper level coursesshould ease the transition from the university to the work place environment. There are sev-eral program models that ease the transition by exposing students to the industry environmentduring their education.One program model provides students the opportunity to observe professionals in the work-place. Another program allows students to work in the engineering industry as part of theircourse curriculum.
