Revitalizing Undergraduate Electric Energy Conversion Education Roy A. McCann Department of Electrical Engineering University of Arkansas–FayettevilleAbstractThe content of the core curriculum course in energy conversion for electrical engineers has beenincrementally updated over the last 50 years. However, recent advances in micro and nano-science have created many new devices and analysis methods. Consequently, there is an increas-ing gap between the classical topics covered in existing textbooks and course plans on energyconversion compared to the emerging needs for government and industry in areas such as fuelcells, artificial muscles

In the real world, I will be at a work place working with engineers form all and anydisciplines and people of none technical backgrounds. In addition, the world’s technology isadvancing so fast that eventually all new inventions and innovations will be multi-disciplinary.To me this could mean that the engineering curriculum should change to adapt to the demands ofthe future. Multidisciplinary projects are the small steps that the engineering education is takingto adapt to that demand. Lastly, these multidisciplinary projects also have all the benefits of

It has been widely accepted that industrialization is one of the major tools whichshapes national destiny. The qualitative and quantitative improvement in the industrial status of anation is strongly based on the quality of engineering education.Technical education must be suited to the development in economy, science and technology, andculture of the country and it plays a vital role in promoting their development.

As the project progressed,however, we developed skills in many fields beyond those we initially set out for, including CADmodeling, design for manufacturing, fabrication techniques, and interaction with externalmanufacturing facilities. We also gained experience with performing a literature search, as, out ofnecessity, we sought out and compiled sources of information on electric propulsion, and weeventually interfaced directly

SummaryAn educational program has been developed at Washington University in St. Louis to familiarizeundergraduates with concepts in structural dynamics and with new approaches in structural con-trol. The students gain an understanding of structural dynamics and control through “hands-on”experiments. The experiments are designed to be performed using a bench-scale shake table.

Manufacturing Engineers' "Four Pillars of Manufacturing Knowledge" [7], [8].Difficult Curriculum DecisionsThe biggest challenge in developing the curriculum was reaching consensus on which set ofcourses to include in the program such that university general education requirements were met,all SLOs were satisfied, and yet the number of credit hours did not exceed the maximum allowedby the state Board of Regents. As one faculty person expressed it, "I feel like a kid in a candystore. I want them all. But all of them, plus the computer courses, is too many."The multi-disciplinary Engineering Technology faculty team mapped key courses to the SLOs inorder to insure appropriate coverage and to inform prioritization during the difficult process

degrees,devotes only 12% of its curriculum to the humanities and social sciences.The question of percentage can also be approached from the perspective of hours allowed byEAC-ABET. A common perception is that accreditation severely limits the choices that schoolsallow its students. In the past EAC-ABET required a minimum of 12.5% of a program’scurriculum to be devoted to general education. In the current EAC-ABET self-studyquestionnaire,48 Table I-1 (Basic-Level Curriculum) indicates that a minimum of 32 hours shouldbe devoted to math and basic sciences, while a minimum of 48 hours should be devoted toengineering topics. For a 134-hour curriculum, this leaves a maximum of 52 hours for generaleducation and other topics (about 39% of the curriculum

In the years since EC2000,many engineering programs have struggled to meet this criteria in a meaningful way [1]. Thereasons are primarily two-fold.
