electric power delivery system transformation that will accommodate highpenetration of renewable energy sources and support new types of loads such as charging PHEVsor EVs [28-29].In spite of these research activities, the educational effort on energy storage technology isinefficient for the current and future needs. Several universities/colleges have implementedcurricula or degree programs in energy and renewable energy [30-32]. Only a few universities inthe nation and around the world have a specific educational program on energy storage.Pennsylvania State University and Ohio State University, two of the few on the list, have anenergy storage curriculum embedded within their Graduate Automotive Technology Education(GATE) programs [33-35
thisconsensus was the mapping of the core curriculum to the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE)examination to ensure that students will be prepared to succeed in that recognized engineeringbenchmark.IntroductionIn the engineering profession and education over the past fifty years, a lot has changed, and a lothas stayed the same, depending upon the viewpoint and application of the term. Definitions forthe terms “engineer” and “engineering” can be found in Table 1 for both the year 1956 and 2006.The 2006 definition of “engineer” includes the first 1956 definition of “a designer andconstructor of engines.” Of most interest may be the expansion from the 1956 “applied science”to the 2006 “application of science and mathematics” as well as references to
skill. Unfortunately, as with most engineering Page 14.880.2technology curriculum, there is often little opportunity to add an additional course dedicated tosimulation to an already full program of study. For this reason, Purdue University Calumet(PUC) faculty initiated steps to introduce their undergraduate students to simulation during arequired course that already existed in the IET curriculum, IET 310 Plant Layout and MaterialHandling.Simulation use and benefit in education and industryThe uses of simulation are extensive in both education and industry as it is a flexible and easy touse tool. Its use is not just limited to one particular
engineeringtechnology curriculum and future engagement projects.The project helped to build stronger ties with industry, better community relations, andstronger relationships with government agencies. Both educational institutions look forwardto future engagement projects so that they may continue to serve the local community,students and industry. Partnerships among government agencies (ORNL), regional industryand regional educational institutions offer an excellent opportunity for advancingprofessional development, enhancing student learning and promoting economic development.The foundation for potential economic development in western North Carolina has beendemonstrated through collaboration with Sci-Cool, Incorporated and coordinated by ORNL.This paper

The course was an elective intwo overlapping master’s programs – one in industrial engineering and one in engineeringmanagement. The course was offered off-campus over a 12-week period. Each class was a threehour and twenty minute block that was to start at 6:00 PM.

INTRODUCTION.The engineering education community has embraced the concept of multidisciplinary designover the past two decades 1-3. This movement reflects a renewed emphasis on design in theengineering curriculum, particularly at the freshman (cornerstone) and senior (capstone) levels 4.The benefit of training engineers to work in multidisciplinary teams is self-evident whenconsidering the integration of mechanical design, electronics, software, human factors andergonomics, and

The purpose of this paper is to present our effortsin introducing DSP based experiments in a number of undergraduate courses in electricalengineering technology program at the State University of New York Institute of Technology,Utica/Rome. The paper will also review the material and resources available in digital signalprocessing education. It is expected that such an endeavor in our curriculum will update theprogram and make the students better prepared for the changing job market.I.

Session 2330 PROBLEM SOLVING IS NECESSARY, BUT NOT SUFFICIENT W. Ernst Eder Royal Military College of CanadaABSTRACTSome curriculum changes introduced in the 1960's were counter-productive. Too much emphasiswas placed on engineering science, and not enough on aspects of engineering. The reduction ofengineering drawing, manufacturing methods and similar topics has made matters worse.Redress was initiated by introducing methods of problem solving at some institutions. Proceduralknowledge, especially for open-ended problems, is a necessary

They were able to leverage across the experience of the team and as one memberneeded to focus elsewhere another team member would step in and increase their commitment.This is an important finding, as Dr. Fouad reports that women who could confidently manageboth their office’s political landscape and their multiple life roles were more satisfied both atwork and at home, and more likely to stay in the profession4.One participant, who is currently working as a manufacturing engineer explained that Bajaimpacted her current job, “it is an amazing hands-on job and I am lucky to have gotten it straightout of college.

We also discusslessons learned during development, and internal and external deployment of the e-learningmodules.IntroductionMore and more higher education institutions are trying to develop an entrepreneurial mindset instudents. Approaches for doing this include integrating entrepreneurship into the curriculum,structuring the physical environment to promote entrepreneurial minded learning (e.g., creatingmakerspaces), providing extracurricular activities and programs such as university innovationfellows, business plan and pitch competitions, and fostering student organizations that
treated as silos and that engineering might serve as amotivating context to integrate the four STEM disciplines [7].The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), released in April 2013, were developed to helpimprove K-12 STEM education through actively engaging students in science and engineeringpractices while deepening their understanding of the core ideas and interrelationships in thesefields over multiple years of exploration. These new academic standards at the state and nationallevel call for integrating engineering design into the K-12 science curriculum [8]. This isaccomplished by raising engineering design to the same level as scientific inquiry. As a result,engineering design experience is gradually becoming a vital component of K-12
liked that we now build physical circuits in the class.” “I enjoyed the demo assignments in the course. Hands on homework with the breadboard and p-spice was very helpful.” “I love the Diligent-Waveforms projects as well as the PSpice simulations. This really helped me understand key concepts.”ConclusionIn this paper, integration of Digilent’s Analog Discovery and its associated Analog Parts Kit hasbeen demonstrated across much of the early electrical engineering curriculum, inside of coursesthat most EE majors take at any undergraduate institution. Thus, the utility of the instrument isnot limited to a particular EE program or a particular concentration therein. Students’ scores onin-class projects and

They utilize LabView for the control of theprocess. This year, an automated bottle filling operation was required in response to anindustrial sponsorship.The key to the success of the curriculum is the consistent presentation of problem solvingtechniques and the use of the same software packages

The 2015 Volkswagen diesel scandal,however, has sparked calls for moving away from “this compliance mindset” in ABET accreditedschools to one in which ethics instruction is integrated more effectively and thoroughly into theengineering curricula.2 There is considerable debate about the most effective way to incorporateethics instruction in the classroom, whether as a stand-alone course or as incorporated throughoutthe engineering curriculum (or both). There have also been calls for greater emphasis on
current and future generations. In addition, the Accreditation Board for EngineeringTechnology (ABET) requires curriculum that directly addresses sustainability through criterions3(c) and 3(h). Criterion 3(c) states, “an ability to design a system, components, or process tomeet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social,political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability” while criterion 3(h)states, “the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in aglobal, economic, environmental, and societal context” [3]. Incorporating sustainability as partof ABET requirements ensures that students are prepared for sustainability challenges; howevercurrent civil
