the topics and no natural order in which to present the material. In this paper, wedescribe a system that uses topic maps to emphasize these interrelationships without imposing anarbitrary hierarchy on the material presented. For example, in terms of types of systems,mechanical systems can be taught first, or electrical. In terms of transforms, Laplace can betaught first, or Fourier, or even the Z-transform. There are also many relationships betweentopics. Examples include the transforms mentioned previously, the different types of physicalsystem (electrical, mechanical, thermal…), and different solution methods such as state-spaceand transfer functions. By their very nature, textbooks must present and follow a linear paththrough the material

Holistic engineering education integrates a comprehensiveunderstanding of engineering principles with broader social, environmental, and ethicalconsiderations.Building on this concept, this paper introduces holistic energy education as a specialized form ofholistic engineering education focused on energy systems. A holistic approach to energy systemsemphasizes understanding the interplay between technical components, environmental impact,societal needs, and ethical considerations. While technical expertise is essential, consideringenvironmental impacts, sustainability, and other overarching factors is crucial for developinginnovative, sustainable, and socially responsible energy solutions. This comprehensiveperspective ensures that

However, approximately 25% of the student veteranpopulation attends the main or flagship campus to earn a four-year engineering degree while75% of the student veteran population attends one of the much smaller campuses, often earningan engineering technology degree. This paper explores considerations for student veterans in choosing a two-yearengineering program versus choosing a traditional four-year engineering program. Two-yeartechnical degrees are typically offered at junior or technical colleges, while the four-yearengineering programs are offered at many traditional universities and colleges. This paper willfocus on the differences between the two types of institutions and the veterans’ backgrounds,priorities, and means to

This paper describes thecombined approach, which can serve as a model for future courses aiming to developtechnical and writing proficiency in undergraduate engineering courses.IntroductionLaboratory courses have been a part of the engineering curriculum for the last two centuriesto provide students with a practical experience of applying the engineering concepts taught inlectures [1]. Generally, laboratory courses have been designed to address ABET studentoutcomes 3, 4, and 6. The ABET outcomes are: • Outcome 3 - "an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences" [2]. • Outcome 4 - "an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering
