Our RET, Providing a Research Experience and Practicum in Cyber PhysicalSystems (PREP-CPS), aims to build a learning community that includes UTC engineering andengineering education faculty, graduate and undergraduate engineering students, and communitycollege faculty and their students. This learning community is designed to introduce communitycollege faculty to emerging engineering technology and evidence-based ways of applying thattechnology in introductory science and math coursework. The learning community is also a placeto exchange ideas about the learning needs of community college students and the professionallearning experiences sought by community college faculty, as well as research collaborationsbetween

While these are important goals, we needed an assessment that moreclosely aligned with our curriculum goal of fostering students’ sophisticated enactment ofengineering practices. Specifically, our aim was to provide teachers with a usable classroom toolthat would provide information about how students think about engineering designs. Thus, wedesigned our own assessment, an “evaluate-and-improve” task that asks students to evaluate anexisting design, propose changes to a design, and justify those

In addition, once the supply infrastructure and end-usetechnologies for using hydrogen are in place, then the evolution towards hydrogen productionfrom renewable energy resources becomes transparent to the user. 2The major driving force of internal combustion engine technology development during the lastthree decades has been the environment.

This tool is called TRIZ, which is a Russian acronym for TheTheory of Inventive Problem Solving. The value of this tool is that it draws upon theexperiences of thousands of past innovators and provides suggested solutions in abstracted form,which provides potential innovators with the information they need to conduct searches forcandidate technologies that exist in other domains.TRIZ is the creation of a

BS degree inECE should be appropriate for a considerably wider range of further study and ultimateprofessions than has typically been the case for either EE or Computer Engineering degrees.Hence, students with a wider range of career goals may ultimately be attracted into the new ECEprogram than traditionally were attracted to rather narrow EE or Computer Engineeringprograms. This possibility is significant for two reasons. First, a solid educational foundation inthe natural sciences and technology (particularly information technology) is of growingimportance to many, if not most professions. Obvious examples include medicine and mostaspects of business. Second, there is good reason to fear that at least in the US, traditionalengineering
