In the summer of 2009, the authorsdeployed with a joint Army/Air Force team as part of this on-going mission. The team membersused Bloom’s Theory of cognitive development and Joseph Lowman’s model of college teachingin assessing levels of student and faculty development, as well as formulating and executingplans for continuing engagement.This paper gives a brief overview of NMAA, its current status, what the authors did while there,what is still needed, and what issues must be considered when conducting this type of globaloutreach.

. Currentengineering students will play key roles in the development of the Smart Grid and electricvehicles. Unfortunately many of these same students already fail to see a link between what theyare currently learning in the classroom and their role as a professional engineer. The energyengineering community needs to determine topics and instructional techniques that will helpstudents connect their classroom experiences with the future opportunities they will encounter inthe unfolding development of the electric vehicle and its supporting infrastructure.This paper reviews electric vehicle development as well as examples of previous learningexperiences and Economic Stimulus funded initiatives for electric vehicle course and curriculumdevelopment.

Knowledge of professional ethics in principle thus provides a necessary but ofteninsufficient condition for the end result of ethical behavior in practice. The internal fostering ofwhat was once called conscience is also needed. That is the challenging goal of the techniquepresented here, one that reaches back to the philosophical and mythical roots of ethics to stir theconscience of the student by seeking emotional identification with the source of our moral sense. This reaching back to philosophical roots depends upon a storytelling technique thatfocuses on presenting philosophical and mathematical topics both familiar and interesting to theengineering student, topics that

revise earlier thinking in order to move forward. ● Articulation of limitations: Engineering design often requires years of iterative research, development, and testing, with access to, and consumption of, abundant resources. In the absence of adequate time or human and material resources, students should identify and explain the resultant impact on their design and discuss what could be done additionally to justify the viability of their design and ideas. The inclusion of supporting detail, such as the recommendations of experts, in similar contexts will enhance the validity of the students’ articulation of limitations and the means of addressing those that the students propose and justify.The

]. For the purposes of thisstudy, focus was on college level approaches to character education.Much of the character education at the college level has been a response to a call from policymakers for renewed focus on character [14]. For the most part, the response has been on theperiphery of college life where volunteer service centers, community activities, and othersimilar type constructs are intended to draw in student participation and provide theenvironment and experience necessary to develop student character for the good throughparticipation [17].
