These are the same projects that were used in previousface-to-face and flipped-classroom versions of the course. System solutions typically includewind and photovoltaic energy sources and energy storage in lead-acid batteries. Student groupshave 3-4 members, and are mixed between the three student populations (Main campus, NJcampus, co-op). Group work is supported by collaboration tools built into Blackboard Learn,including the Collaborate communications tool, wikis and a file exchange area

same time, the concept ofperiodic signals, the impact of linearity and time invariance on circuit behavior and signal outputwas the focus of Signals and Systems in the first LSM. Although the full-wave bridge rectifiercircuit is often used in Electronics classes as an illustration of using diodes for power conversionapplications (either half-wave or full-wave), the treatment of the subject in Electronics tends tobe restricted to time-domain analysis. Combining the key concepts from Signals and Systems forthe rectifier application inside the AC-to-DC conversion circuit allows students to understand ata deeper level by integrating the concepts in Signals and Systems about signal periodicity, linearand non-linear transformation, and signal energy

By removing circuits and machines, the course now covers abroader range of electrical engineering fields such as image and signal processing, datacompression, electronic navigation, communications, and computer networks and security. Thecourse examines current trends; with a focus on how the Coast Guard and Homeland Securityuse technology and discusses the ethical issues that arise with the potential misuse of technology.The authors developed several innovative lesson plans, laboratories and even a series of debatesto improve the students’ understanding of technological trade-offs, while developing their

Theseskills may include project management, creating Gantt chart, and maintaining schedules.The lead author has published significantly in the field of engineering design and capstoneprojects[1-6].

observing engineers at work. The methodwas for a student observer to spend all (or as much as possible) of the working day with anengineer, recording all the activities that the engineer engaged in. The research method is linked to the preliminary stage of this research. For example inrecording all of the engineer’s activities, no categories were used. It was felt that developingcategories first could bias the data by causing the observer to fit the observations intopredetermined slots. In later stages we expect to develop categories so that consistency acrossobservers will be easier to maintain. The observation period chosen was one week. Observations were taken at the engineer’soffice, so that work-site time and work at home during the

Leadership is a complicated notion that includes the art and science of providingdirection and vision to an organization, communicating that direction, and motivating others tobuy-in and contribute to the realization of that vision. Leadership can be based on, but is not thesame thing as, technical expertise. Civil engineers are unquestionably leaders in the technicalaspects of designing buildings, public works facilities, and highways. But few

Often, communication is one-way from the leader to the followers. • Selling: High Task Behavior and High Relationship Behavior. The leader may still make the decisions, but will explain them to the followers and give them opportunities to ask for clarification.
