Revitalizing Undergraduate Electric Energy Conversion Education Roy A. McCann Department of Electrical Engineering University of Arkansas–FayettevilleAbstractThe content of the core curriculum course in energy conversion for electrical engineers has beenincrementally updated over the last 50 years. However, recent advances in micro and nano-science have created many new devices and analysis methods. Consequently, there is an increas-ing gap between the classical topics covered in existing textbooks and course plans on energyconversion compared to the emerging needs for government and industry in areas such as fuelcells, artificial muscles

The plan charts a course of educational,community, and international channels in which to realize its sustainability goals.Thirty measures have been identified to achieve carbon neutrality, one measure calls for a 10megawatt photovoltaic system on the University’s West Campus by the summer of 2012. Tofurther increase the system’s benefit to the university, it was decided that engineering studentscould provide the preliminary system design beginning in the fall of 2010. Because of the earlystart, the project will span across multiple semesters and will involve many different Clinicstudents. The project challenge requires students to research land usage, perform solar

A good set of objectives can be aninvaluable resource for planning courses and individual lessons, creating assignments and tests,and defining the course in a meaningful way for other faculty members preparing to teach it,instructors of prerequisite and subsequent courses, and accreditation visitors. In the remainder ofthe paper, we introduce Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, a system for classifyinglearning objectives according to the skill level required to meet them; define and distinguish theterms assessment and evaluation, two related processes that are vitally important in every aspectof both teaching and research; and discuss ABET and the engineering

Education One faculty person, as part of this program, went to Argentina and spent time at a university there and also spent time at several companies. Interviews and newspaper publications emerged from his visit. He has now been invited back to Argentina to give short courses so that his learning about that part of the world will continue. He has now added Latin America modules and uses examples from Latin America in several of his graduate and undergraduate courses and will be adding more. When interviewed, he explained how enriching the experience has been since now he can better understand other cultures and bring different aspects of his experience into the work and research he does.

berepeated for the students who misses a presentation or becomes confused or lost in the normalprogress of the class. There is no way in this live format for a student to rehear or review what issaid in the classroom short of the course being taped. This aspect of the graduate education process is neither very efficient nor does it makefor a very effective learning environment. However, it is generally accepted that when thislecture course format is supplemented with one-on-one personal research project interaction witha faculty advisor the total graduate educational experience appears to work quite well andproduces acceptable results. But just because it works quite well is no reason why the processshouldn’t be informed to be even better
