However, knowing the traits of players like Michael Jordan has its ownunique place in learning to become a better basketball player. In the same spirit, this paperpresents seven traits of a highly effective engineering educator. In 1987, the Education Commission of the States and the American Association of HigherEducation co-sponsored the work – “Seven Principles for Good Practice in UndergraduateEducation”1.

Inresponse to this need, materials engineering courses related to sustainable energy technology,life-cycle analysis and mineral resources have been developed. The courses have been designedto be accessible to non-materials engineering students, and even non-engineering students, topromote interdisciplinary discussions.

They have also saved some of us considerabletime; rather than wade through an encyclopedic assembly of books and articles from a quartercentury of educational research in order to start learning from the appropriate data and sources,we can read (and reread) the primer.Rugarcia et al. divide the skills required to address the challenges to be faced by future engineersinto seven categories (FEE I):1. independent, interdependent, and lifetime learning skills2. problem solving, critical thinking, and creative thinking skills3. interpersonal and teamwork skills4. communication skills5. self-assessment skills6. integrative and global thinking skills7. change management

indecision, thus decreasing the number of semesters students take to graduate.There are concomitant decreases in student attrition and cost per student. Leveling (the process of bringing all students to essentially the same skill/awarenesslevel) ensures that all students have a common base thus diminishing frustration of both theadvanced and the less well-prepared students. The instructors of subsequent courses can expectall students to be competent with a basic set of educational “tools” or skills. Research shows that cornerstone courses have, in general, been successful in meeting oneor more of these objectives1,2. Brigham Young University (BYU) has developed a course toaddress all three of these goals. In addition the BYU faculty has

Matching design and schematic specifications to a single vendor solution is a necessarybut rarely taught step in engineering. Engineers need parts, but most courses magically provideeither kits, chosen parts, or single-sourced components to speed student focus on the coreengineering topics. Sourcing of parts, however, involves real world process- and people-relatedissues that can add schedule and

It has been also insisted that the maximum effect ofengineering education can be acquired by structuring education system rather than the educationitself and, accordingly, students under the well organized team collaboration are likely to becomemore eligible to adjust themselves to the competitions with other teams when performing theclass project[Attle & Baker 2007].

Case studies are known for promoting understanding of past materialand new problems, and also for creating a good classroom atmosphere that helps to generate andsustain participation.4 Design courses generate more discussion with case studies because of thenature of the class itself.

Summary and conclusions To recap, the alternative energy industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, necessitating an ever-increasing number of graduates with corresponding skill sets. However, the majority of universities are still stuck in what some researchers have dubbed the “carbon lock-in”, offering courses and degrees almost exclusively for the traditional energy sector. A major transformation in energy / power education is therefore required. However, universities desiring to teach alternative energy courses are often confronted with educational, technological as well as economic challenges as outlined in section 1.3. In particular, providing students with practical, hands-on experiences can

Some of the more successfuland well known workshops supported by educational research are Richard Felder’sworkshops (12 hits) and the ASCE ExCEEd Teaching Workshop (135 hits). It appearsthat most of the remaining hits are teaching workshops being offered at local universitiesand colleges as part of their internal teaching development programs.
