This paper outlines the design and integration ofmotor-based labs and projects to enhance student engagement and application-oriented learning.Infusing motor applications could address the perceived lack of technical experience amongfreshmen. The EET program at Buffalo State originated as a 2+2 program where incomingstudents were juniors with a 2-year technical degree and often worked in the field as an associatedegree technician. For the past two decades, the program has offered a complete 4-year set ofcourses, and incoming freshmen are younger, lack technical backgrounds, and are moreunprepared in mathematics [1].Students in the DC Motor section seemed excited to test out their code for moving the

While this statement may speak ofcollege students in general, what this may also indicate is that there is a need for the studentswho have left engineering to be more actively engaged during their freshman year. It is a widelyknown fact that the first two years of college are the most crucial in regard to the retention ofcollege students 2. In an effort to aid students in meeting their educational goals and to influencetheir retention, an institution must determine what solutions it has for the educational problemsfaced by its students 3.

The qualities and skills associated with T-shaped professionals also corresponds too many of the skills needed in energy systemsengineering, thus promoting T-shaped professional energy systems engineers. In order todevelop a syllabus that focuses on encouraging student curiosity and innovation, four basicprinciples were established: 1. Engineering education should not amount to the passive delivery of material. It should offer an active learning environment in which the students can build upon the knowledge gained from the classroom. 2. Engineering education is not only about quantitative analysis and technical skills, but
