The electricity consumed is primarily produced from fossil fuels. Thecampus is encouraged to employ renewable energy substitutes such as photovoltaic generation to offsetit. Further reduction can be achieved by emulating the features of one energy-efficient building oncampus, which received Leadership in Energy and Environmental

Polytechnics and Colleges of Advanced Technologymainly consist of placements exceeding thirty-six weeks duration, and the tendency is for thisperiod to lengthen. Ryan et al.27 found little rationale in the literature for choosing a singleperiod of work experience that extended from six months to one year (or longer). Wright29 hasargued that the longer placements allow students to see a project, such as an engineering orproduct development project, through all its stages and to participate in the full range oforganizational and work life experiences.SurveyA survey was designed to gauge the success of the recently established formal learning outcomesby assessing student and alumni perceptions of the effect that co-op had on the following: theiracademic

Epistemologies describe the nature and extent ofknowledge – including notions of both the concept of knowing and what knowledge can be known [1,3].In this study, we focus on the extent aspect wherein we use the term epistemological boundaries to referto what information is and is not considered to be part of the engineering discipline’s body ofknowledge.Studies suggest that students have a complex understanding of what engineering, and by extensionengineering knowledge, is [4].

For example, the students reported that theusage of such simulation in course contexts helps to understand the theoretical background ofmaterial properties’ determination6.However, the necessity for establishing high quality remote labs in undergraduate educationcan’t be denied and the number of attempts to develop showcase projects is still growing.Publications by Azad, Auer and Harward as well as by García-Zubía and Alves provide anoverview on the recent developments1, 2. Despite of all these examples it seems to be the case,that there is a larger community working on remote labs in electrical engineering than inmanufacturing technology.

can be no doubt that pre-wired development boards provide a great convenience in using PLDs. However, with suchconvenience, Nickels4 suggests that electrical and computer engineering students may not havea suitable hands-on laboratory experience. As such, our use of a PLD with a classic breadboardis a very different choice.In our further development of CPLDs in the course, we continued with an integrated approach,which is includes our use of schematic capture, CPLDs, breadboards, and and now includes theconcept of hierarchy.

Introduction Reducing electricity demand is commonly seen as one of the most promising solutions tomitigating global climate change [1]. This is for good reason, since electricity productionconstituted 25% of greenhouse gas emissions in 2019, totaling nearly 1,625 million metric tonsof carbon dioxide in the United States [2]. When electricity consumers run consistently, powergeneration plants can run consistently which leads to their highest efficiency and lowest carbonemissions.

According to the National Research Council in 1998, the inadequaciesand inconsistencies of collection and maintenance of evaluation and retention data are majorhindrances to projecting future manpower needs and identifying problems in the sciences field.Without access to consistent data which predicts success, engineering programs lack the abilityto pinpoint deficiencies within their academic program and keep talented students. In addition toincreasing attrition rates within engineering majors, another problem faced by departments isattracting talented high school applicants. Felder et al.5 in their study on longitudinal engineeringperformance and retention found that both the increasing difficulty of attracting high
