the cost of power disruption to customers. In order to capture the value of outage avoidance to various electric customers, a survey can be performed. The survey needs to be designed to capture the impact of an outage based on a variety of durations, in addition to the times of day, week, and year. Including time as a variable helps determine the indirect costs that customers experience, especially within the residential sector. Forexample, indirect costs to customers may be greater if an outage of significant duration were tooccur in the winter, whereas, the indirect costs may be lower during the summer.The Department of Energy’s Interruption Cost Estimator (ICE) can also be utilized to derive anestimate of interruption costs for Puget

This framework included thefollowing: 1. The professional development program was to include eight full day sessions during the spring semester (two days per month for four months) and a one week capstone experience in the summer (approximately 100 clock hours of professional development). 2.

evaluation of its effectiveness in teaching is presented.Introduction As most laboratory instructors will attest from direct experience, many or even mostcontemporary engineering undergraduates appear to have had limited instruction in the standardformat, composition, and production qualities expected in laboratory reports. Indeed, sinceundergraduates encounter little primary practical or research literature, they will have had limitedexperience in even reading reports with the structure, quality, and clarity that should be expectedfrom engineering professionals. For examples, students are largely unaware of the importance ofa neat and orderly page design with uniform margins, descriptive headings, and distinc tiveparagraphs. Equally or

The first goal was to develop the students’ understanding of a topic of study that bringstogether engineering and mathematics, namely, quantifying and interpreting change. The secondgoal of this course was for students to develop their problem solving skills. We wanted studentsto improve their abilities to interpret problem situations and to persist in solving such problemsand to do so more independently than in high school.

material properties [2].Once the prescribed laboratory exercise was completed, students began to work on the first oftwo projects. The first project was referred to as the mini project. The goal of the mini projectwas to have the students receive instruction and hands on experience with foam shaping, creatinga splash, and using gel coat. Students also gained first-hand knowledge on the impact of draftangles and tool surface finish on their part. The thought was that, once the students had gainedthis experience they would be more effective in the second project, named the major project.This project was to create a part of their choosing while selecting and justifying the materials andmanufacturing methods to do so [3], [4].Unfortunately, the mini
