, 2017 Developing Sustainable Leaders: Implementing a USGBC LEED® Lab™ Program on CampusAbstractThe LEED Lab program, sponsored by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC),offers educational institutions a way to teach energy conservation, efficiency, and sustainabilityas well as offer students the “real world” experience of actually certifying a campus buildingthrough the LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance (LEED-EBOM) process.This paper examines how one institution developed and implemented a LEED Lab program onits campus, from inception through the certification process. Through this examination of oneprogram’s successful implementation, other engineering educators can decide whether
the classroom. Learners can engage learning effectively at any timewith any devices. Remote experiment can be seen as training courses for students contributes tostudents’ engagement and learning. Teaching in K-12 curriculums, instructor can greatly improvethe student’s engage learning. Finally, technology use is further influenced by the modality ofcourses in which it is used. Understanding students’ mobile practices more deeply can guideinstructor development in the future.The Implementation of Optimized Remote SVP Experiment ApplicationInitially, remote SVP Mechanical Engineering experiment, was incorporated as part of the remotelaboratory series of the Intelligent Structural Systems (ISS) course.

Development of a Circuits Class: Rethinking Traditional Teaching Methods AbstractProblems with teaching introductory courses in circuit analysis and design are well known andhave been extensively documented over the past few decades. Inspired by a few of theresearchers in the field, we have designed a collection of supplementary materials to bepresented in our introductory courses. This material is designed specifically to teach studentshow to solve problems in a practical manner. Starting off with a reintroduction to fundamentallaws (such as Kirchhoff's and Thevenin’s), through addressing concepts such as zeros and poles,the material will provide students a scaffolding to use basic circuits principles and solve

flashlight, they are also instructed on thetheory of operation and practical design considerations pertinent to each step. A presentation hasbeen developed as an instructional guide for this workshop. Before beginning the presentation,students are typically asked if they are aware of the differences between Engineering andEngineering Technology majors. This allows for introduction of the practical aspects ofEngineering Technology curriculum with focus on application to commercial and industrialproducts.Instruction begins with a quick overview of a flashlight circuit (Figure 7). This provides aglimpse of the finished product and a framework for the detailed steps to follow. Since mosthigh school students already understand the basics of current flow

nationwide. These are often designedfrom scratch and tend to be “personal courses” – designed by instructors to cover what they feelis important. Therefore, while they may be prerequisites to second-year courses, first-yearengineering programs are not necessarily integrated into the curriculum. Further, since they areoften designed with little consideration for existing models, overall outcomes and content varywidely. This leads to, first, the issue of course developers “reinventing the wheel” as successfulmodels are not adequately disseminated. The problem is exacerbated by a lack of definition offirst year models: a developer may know what they want in a course, but how do they find acourse with similar outcomes with nothing more than “first-year

Concepts fromthese texts have guided the redesign of the Management of Engineering Systems course.Another guiding concept that has influenced the redesign of this course is that most courses inthe Engineering Management curriculum will eventually be delivered in the 8-week acceleratedonline program. Once each course is developed, it will be offered on a rotating schedule based onthe needs of the cohort in the accelerated program. The overarching plan for these courses is thatthey typically will be designed
