We discuss example programs that haveassembled and evaluated instructional materials in computational science and engineering.These include a National Science Foundation funded digital library as well as several otherprojects that have assembled datasets, models, and exercises that can readily be adopted in avariety of engineering classes. Sharing such materials should reduce the barriers to adoption andencourage more faculty to undertake this approach to instruction

Appropriate definitions andmeasures of “success” for such efforts vary, and faculty members involved in theseefforts have concerns that narrow understanding of these efforts can marginalize theseinterdisciplinary and integrative experiences. The goal of this work is to support ongoingconversations in higher education about integrative and interdisciplinary education effortsby providing a shared language and classification system for understanding these efforts.This paper presents a classification system for integrative engineering education effortsand applies it to examples from our own institutions.

Asthe Baby Boomer generation retires over the next decade as much as 75% of the current industrystaff will have retired. This will affect hourly operations and maintenance personnel,engineering design staff and transmission and distribution professionals. The impending demandfor power engineers has spurred the utility companies to work with the College of AppliedScience to develop programs for new Engineering Technologists in Power Systems.
