incorporating basics of energy savings evaluations forintroductory energy conservation methods to help students in choosing Energy SystemsEngineering or similar courses as a technical elective course and potentially train them to servein EESS in the future of their profession.California State University, Chico (CSU Chico), is a public university in Chico, California.Founded in 1887, it is the second oldest campus in the CSU system. Mechanical andMechatronics Engineering and Sustainable Manufacturing Department is one of the seventy-fivedepartments of the university. The department’s mission is providing a high-qualityundergraduate engineering education. The department accomplishes this mission by offering acurriculum that is firmly grounded in
into multiplecourses from the first year in engineering to the capstone design course in the fourth year. Thecase studies were also included in multiple elective courses of various subdisciplines such ashydraulics, structural, geotechnical, and transportation offered in the second, third, and fourthyears. This was able to provide continuity in ethics education across the curriculum. The resultsfrom the assessment showed that ethics was incorporated successfully into the CE curriculum atthe University of Portland (UP) and the students were able to learn about ethics in at least onecourse every year.A study by Carpenter [4] has discussed a case study that considers the pollution of a river byindustrial discharge from a company manufacturing a

Traditionally this type of software was only available at high costthrough robotics manufacturers, and was proprietary to their products. However recently, moreopen source options have become available for 3-D robotics simulation software. One of theseapplications called “RobotRun” was developed by Michigan Technical

firmware to run on the “bare-metal” of the CubeSat processor, without anyunderlying Operating System nor RTOS. Thus, these computer science students foundthemselves without a heap for the first time in their programming careers, and had to forgo anykind of dynamic memory allocation.For the majority of the team (five out of six students), this was the first encounter with embeddedsystems programming, as there is no Embedded Systems course required in our curriculum. Thus,this project marked the students’ first practical experience with hardware timers, interrupts,programmable controllers, processor I/O, and in-circuit debuggers. Challenges posed by thisunfamiliar platform included the need for a fault-tolerant design, and the imposition of timing

Student success is more a product of an overarching shared culturethan it is of the results of a more narrowly-conceived deliberate ‘retention’ or ‘graduation’ effortand more attention needs to be given to graduation data7.Closely related to graduation rate is gatekeeping course performance. Gatekeeping courses arethe critical courses that will enable students to proceed to the next level when they successfullycomplete them. Gatekeeping courses occur at all levels of education and in all fields. It had beenshown that enrollment in gatekeeping courses in high school help students reach
