Their ways of exploration, knowledge extraction, validation andinnovation are discussed in the paper.IntroductionA primary feature of engineering education related to renewable energy is that the constraintsand innovations come from a very broad range of disciplines within and outside science andengineering. This is perhaps true of any discipline as it is forming, which appears to be thecase with renewable energy. Accordingly, the imaginative reader is requested to consider thatthere may be no sections on “the pedagogy” or “the course” or “the student happiness surveyproving the greatness of the teacher” in this paper. The paper is about how learners fromtraditional disciplines deal with grand challenges and

The lecture topics includedpseudocode and programmatic thinking, search/sort algorithms and program efficiency, basic datastructures, C++ syntax and concepts (e.g., conditionals, loops, variables, memory, functions,objects, inheritance, STLs), and Python and Java comparisons. It is a 4-credit course, with 2.5hours of lecture and two hours of lab. It includes small and large-scale assignments, quizzes, andan optional project.

The class was designed to last about an hour, although all the concepts couldbe expanded. Interest level was high; the children really seemed to have a good time.We hope that they will remember that science is an everyday, intuitive subject that theyhave only to let themselves see and enjoy.Dr. LAURA J.

Engineering Education, 2014 A Mature Approach to AssessmentAbstractEducators can tend to focus on teaching rather than student learning. As such, assessing studentoutcomes is perceived as additional work not directly related to their craft and is an occasionalexercise required to meet the demands of program accreditors. This attitude parallels that ofsoftware developers who see the need to deliver a software project on time and on budget assomething that constrains their creative work. The Capability Maturity Model has been adoptedby many software organizations as a framework to help change attitudes and improve thesoftware development process. In this paper we show that the same principles can be applied tothe assessment

Mechanical, electrical, andthermal systems with significant dynamic components are frequently modeled. Combinations ofelectrical and mechanical or electrical and thermal systems are also common. Modeling of thesesystems results in a small number of differential equations (typically linear, first-order, constantcoefficients), with another larger set of related algebraic equations. These systems of equationsmust be reduced by algebraic manipulation to the proper form, typically state variable equationsor transfer

Due to reduced lecture time, the instructors had to rely on the students reading thetext. The instructors lectured on the key points in each chapter; and then provided projectassignments to the teams, which emphasized the material in the chapters that related to theirproducts. The instructors also utilized the class time to advise the teams on their specificproducts [9].The course was co-taught by a full-time instructor from mechanical engineering, a part-timeinstructor from business, and initially a part-time instructor in industrial design from SCI-Arc.The course was divided up
