, academiccapital includes tutoring [30]; the access to this service, on the other hand, is social capital if theaccess is gained through a social relationship or membership in a social network.The various types of capital are of particular interest when discussing underrepresented groups inSTEM as many underrepresented groups either enter college with less capital than their peers orface greater difficulties accumulating it. For example, first-generation and rural college studentsoften enter college with less financial capital than their peers and are therefore more likely towork while in school [8]; [38]. Students who enter college with high amounts of academiccapital (such as having had access to rigorous mathematics and science courses in high school

Third, student enrollment is composed of bothtechnical and non-technical students historically drawing students majoring in engineering,political science, business, general science, and education. Fourth, the course is team-taught byan engineering professor and a political scientist. The purpose of this paper is to describe theknowledge level, energy use behavior, and values of students enrolled in the renewable energycourse compared to a comparable student cohort of individuals not enrolled in the renewableenergy course in question.

simulation experiments andtheir subsequent incorporation into an innovative framework to teach engineering systemsanalysis and flight dynamics, including topics such as system control, stability, feedback, anddesign. These are fundamental concepts at the core of many engineering systems includingmechanical, aerospace, electrical, thermal, and fluid systems. Many engineers are increasinglyturning to simulation and virtual prototyping, rather than physical prototyping, to explore newdesign concepts. As the use of simulation increases across all of engineering, the demand forstudents with hands-on experience in configuring, executing, and understanding simulation-based experimentation will also increase.

frequencies range from several hundred MHz to several GHz4.Ionization is a process by which electrons are stripped from atoms and molecules2. This processcan produce molecular changes that can lead to damage in biological tissue, including effects onDNA, the genetic material. This process requires interaction with high levels of electromagneticenergy. Those types of electromagnetic radiation with enough energy to ionize biologicalmaterial include X-radiation and gamma radiation4. Therefore, X-rays and gamma rays areexamples of ionizing radiation.The energy levels associated with RF and microwave radiation, on the other hand, are not greatenough to cause the ionization of atoms and molecules and RF energy is, therefore, is a type ofnon-ionizing

The electrical technologyprogram at the author’s institution (California) is one example of how this can work.Students can enroll in a robotics applications class without prerequisites and as a resultdevelop an immediate understanding of the operational systems. From there theydemand additional knowledge on the inner workings of the systems providing self

students understandingof the material is enhanced by the experience. Often it is more valuable to conduct the lab beforethe material is introduced in class. The students’ curiosity about the topic is raised by doing theexperiment. When the theory is covered in a lecture, particularly if it is soon after the lab, thestudents can relate to what is being taught, and tend to have more questions, helping to stimulateclass discussion.

Introduction The object-oriented design methodology has become one of the leading techniques inproblem solving. Compared to procedural programming, object-oriented programming ismore natural and reliable [1, 2, 3]. It also has a high potential for reuse, and a relativelyquick and easy way to implement and maintain. Recently, object-oriented programminghas been widely accepted

engineering disciplines blur 7.For instance, in integrated circuit process development, a technologist must understand theintrinsic nature of the materials (physics), the dynamic equilibrium of the processing reactors(chemical engineering), the physical properties of the multiple layers (mechanical engineering),and the needed characteristics of the final devices (electrical engineering). A student graduatingwith a degree in any of these fields would have deep knowledge of one aspect of the problemsolution, but little knowledge of the other needed areas. As this industry progresses through thesub-micron range into nanometer scale devices, it will become even more difficult to separate thescience from the engineering of the devices.While it is
validate the satisfaction of industry desired competencies. IntroductionThe past decade has been an extremely productive period of thinking about engineeringeducation. The National Science Foundation has reported that among other factors, half of allU.S. students who start out in engineering disciplines switch to other majors in search of betterteaching, more challenge and opportunities to work in teams on real-world problems. Inresponse to this, there has been a quite revolution in education characterized by the tremendousgrowth in project or process oriented classes with an increased emphasis in hands-on education.One of the most important challenges with this approach to education has to do with
