The shunt capacitors have been located at the end of each 11kV feeder. The optimal location of shunt capacitors to minimize the energy losses is one ofthe future studies.

provide a potential use for it.This work-in-progress paper describes the motivation and development process of these labs, aswell as preliminary lab examples and planned assessment.There is substantial discussion in the engineering community about the importance of includingill-structured problems into curriculum within engineering education, as these problems betterrepresent the experiences post-graduation [1]–[7]. However, past work has found that textbookproblems are rarely ill-structured in form and that students may be rarely exposed to ill-structured problems within their engineering curriculum [1], [2], [5]. One area in which ill-structured problems are easier to incorporate are within lab experiences. Student laboratoryexperiences are
involved to some degree though some of those were simply to coordinatea field trip, housing, or to meet for instance with an admissions counselor for a 30 minuteorientation. The core groups were the mentors in the labs and facilitators.Laboratory experiences were available to students in Bioengineering, Biology, Wild LandResources, Assistive Technology, Plant Soils and Climate, Watershed Science, Civil andEnvironmental Engineering, Veterinarian Medicine Genome Lab, Mechanical and AerospaceEngineering, Teacher Education and Leadership, Nutrition Dietetics and Food Nutrition,Audiology, Biochemistry, Psychology, Natural Resources, Mathematics, and InorganicChemistry.

]. Mission: Our program provides a theory based, application oriented general engineering education that serves as a basis for career success and lifelong learning. Our graduates possess and demonstrate the engineering and scientific knowledge required for analysis, design, improvement, and evaluation of integrated technology based systems. Our program equips graduates to be applied problem solvers who develop solutions that consider system interrelationships and meet or exceed customer needs. Program Objectives Graduates of the BS Engineering program are: 1. Prepared for professional practice as licensed engineers with a broad knowledge of general systems and problem solving

Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Equation Sheets: Are We Helping or Hurting our Students?A common dilemma when administering significant graded events is whether to allow studentsto use a self-generated equation sheet, especially for closed-book examinations. While muchresearch has evaluated the efficacy of these equation sheets on student performance, thereremains a gap in understanding the effects of the quality of the equation sheets on examperformance. This study analyzes the relationship between and quantitative evaluation of studentgenerated equations sheets and exam performance on a particular graded event in a course in acivil engineering program of study.Students at the United

The major question in my mind is why hasthis technology not been commercialized yet?”; and “It was tough to imagine that PCR can bedone in such less time.”After completing the lab, the students’ impressions focused on the simplicity of operating thedevice. It should be noted, however, that these perspectives were shaped by the student’s priorhands-on knowledge of performing PCR in a molecular biology lab setting. Comments alongthese lines included “This is a great lab to take, but you have to know and understand to takeaway this lab’s implications. If you have
industry participates in the students‟ education to help produce highly-qualified civil and construction engineers. This is accomplished through the integration ofdesign, construction, and business realities in an active learning environment. Students work onreal-world projects sponsored by the industry using state-of-the -art modeling, analysis, anddesign tools in a modern facility. This will give the student‟s experience that directly preparesthem for careers in civil and construction engineering, with general problem solving abilities.Industry sponsored projects is an essential component of the Capstone Design Factory.

Since our students have very different background skills, multi-tier resources should be available to meet the educational needs of different students. For students lacking computer skills, tutorial videos with step-by-step instruction are provided to help them use OPNET; for fast learners or students with advanced knowledge from their previous work experience, the project worksheets come with extra problems or exercises that allow them to do more in- depth analysis or to explore for better solutions to improve the existing design.Besides the positive findings above, the project assessment also identified challenges that need tobe addressed.

One of the main reasons softwarereuse has not been systematically practiced is due to the lack of education: In a survey collectedfrom 113 respondents from 29 organizations, primarily in the US, only 13% said they hadlearned about reuse in school1.This paper presents the creation of a graduate-level seminar course on software reuse in a
