Thiscourse serves as an introduction to renewable energy with an emphasis on energy harvesting,conversion, and storage systems. It is a combination of lecture, demonstrations, student inquiry,in-class problem solving, and hands-on projects. Students are required to complete a series ofexercises/projects and/or tests that reflect their knowledge of the stated objectives.

briefand preliminary survey of graduate students in our electrical and computer engineeringdepartment showed that they have very little to no experience in performing literature reviews,and discussions with other faculty confirmed this observation. Unlike some other fields, such associal sciences, it also seems that engineering education programs do not place as muchemphasis on the development of this skill. The most obvious use of training graduate students inliterature reviews is in helping them satisfy dissertation or thesis requirements. Literaturereviews, however, have other uses, such as starting a new research area by identifying holes inthe existing literature or summarizing one’s own research area. Recently, it has been argued thata

However, the majority of graduates are hired asProcess Engineers whose main focus is on production.

Some nicheswithin the computing fields, like emerging technologies (EmTech) (e.g., cloud computing, datascience, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence), are expected to grow job opportunities morequickly than others. The demands of these jobs can only be fulfilled by creating opportunities forone of the largest untapped Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) talentpools: adult women.We conducted a series of four virtual focus groups with 18 adult women of color in total,specifically Hispanic and Black women.

)Course description: This is a three-credit graduate-level course that consists of two 3-hourlecture. The course objective is to provide hands-on experience in operating conventional testand measurement instruments for engineering experimentation purposes. With the ever-increasing complexity and multi-disciplinary nature of the design process, often involvingelectronics, optics, and control elements, it is of critical importance for mechanical engineers tobe able to master the use of measurement instruments for better product design, quality control,and performance monitoring. The lecture part of the course is devoted to discussing generaltheories regarding engineering instrumentation and measurements, e.g. data acquisition,uncertainty analysis

This debatehas existed in engineering and engineering technology schools and colleges for decades and resurfaces periodicallyas new topics and material come to light and the demands from industry change and often focus on specializedtechnical skills.
