the world have developed programs and initiativesrelated with engineers making social and environmental impacts. This paper presents the results of a twoyears design process of a humanitarian engineering educational Program at Universidad Sergio Arboledain Colombia in South America from a practical perspective. The Program looks for the generation ofprofessionals more aware of their decisions where they change the perspective from “knowledge owners”to “design facilitators”. It is based in three main conceptual paths: Social Appropriation of Technology,Listening and co-creation, and facilitation of social business model for communities.The main goal of this Program is to provide our engineering students with systemic thinking methodologiesand

. Beginning in the late 1970s, an active learning-based approach to the stoichiometrycourse was adopted at N.C. State, in which most lectures included activities that providedpractice and feedback in the methods that would be required on homework and tests. A 1990paper outlined the new instructional approach and described the turnaround in studentperformance and evaluations that resulted from its adoption.1 The stoichiometry course hascontinued to evolve. Since the early 1990s, it has been taught using cooperative (team-based)learning, with measures being taken to hold all team members individually accountable for theentire content of team assignments. Instructional technology has played an increasinglyimportant role in the course, with variety of

Introduction As educators, we are constantly being told that increased international competitiveness has created aneed for engineers with a better understanding of design methodology and concurrent engineering. Probably themost significant documentation of the need is contained in a National Research Council Report.1Representatives of Boeing,2 Lockheed Martin,3 and McDonnell Douglas4 have also voiced strong opinions.

A fewkey technologies, such as rapid prototyping and imaging systems, have been incorporated intothe studio as well. As phase one, a capstone design course has been given use of the facilities.The impact of the studio on the students’ design output has been qualitatively evaluated. Also,the advantages and the drawbacks of introducing high technology into undergraduateenvironment have been documented. As phase two, two alternative plans have been developed toexpand the design

If the harvester is not perfectly tuned, or if envi-ronmental frequency varies, the linear harvester will struggle. Arrays of multiple linear harvesters havebeen designed to allow a wider operating frequency band without losing maximum power output, butthese come with significantly higher cost [4,5]. Nonlinear harvester designs have been proposed to over-come these hurdles. Both softening and

Continuous functions are needed to describe co-variantvariables, trends, time varying signals and control of one variable by another.The mathematician, Descartes, invented the rectangular coordinate system, which enabled thetrends contained in a discrete table of values for a function to be displayed as a set of dots or aconnected set of line segments. The two dimensional coordinate system enabled an equation intwo variables to be graphed as a continuous curve. The use of tables, curves and equations torepresent continuous functions has become conventional in modern science.

Students may not have a strong math or physics backgroundto rely upon; therefore, we are restricted from using higher mathematics to convey electricalengineering principles more precisely described by such methods. In this institution, we arefaced with an intense demand for the student’s time in academic, athletic and militaryobligations. This is not unlike any collegiate environment where there are time demands onstudents beyond the control of the teachers. A common example is part-time or full-time studentswho must hold jobs to pay for their education.
