utilizecompetencies developed in the first three years of the curriculum in the solution of a complexdesign problem.Educational excellence requires exposing students to the current edge of research. To ensure thatstudent projects are along the same trajectory that the industry is moving, educators mustcontinually introduce emerging techniques, practices, and applications into the curriculum. Thefields of Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are growing rapidly, andthere is increasing interest in providing undergraduate students with a foundation in these areas.This paper presents IoT and WSN projects that our undergraduate computer and electricalengineering students have done in their senior capstone course in wildfire

high school.However, this can be difficult in the United States since engineering courses and thecorresponding interactive design projects for practical engineering products are not alwaysincluded in middle school, even high school curriculum. In this paper, we try to explore thepossibility of developing a short-time workshop with an interesting engineering project whichcan motivate middle or high school female students to learn engineering, and eventually pursuecareers in engineering. For the workshop, we need to consider two factors to develop it: (1) thetime period allowed for the students to complete the project and (2) the expense of the projectproduct. The workshop was included in the event, Next Generation Science, Technology

The major components of the ETS Program aredesigned to address several barriers that hinder the success and retention of students.2.1 Addressing Barriers to Student SuccessThe educational effectiveness research offices of numerous community colleges largely identifythat the Calculus I course serves as a major barrier for an exceedingly high number of students(60-80%) who enter at remedial math levels. Statewide, only 4% of community college studentsstarting at Intermediate Algebra pass through to enroll in Calculus I

The use of the Arduino allows the course to bridge the gapbetween a traditional mechanisms course and an automation-based mechanisms course.The Arduino platform is commonly used in Mechatronics courses. Grover et al [1] use anArduino platform for a semester-long project to build a mobile robot using Arduino controllers.Chancharoen et al [2] describe the use of Arduino-based learning kits to provide hands-onlearning experiences in a mechatronics course.

Outside of the solar panels themselves, the inverters arethe most important constituent of the solar power system as they take the DC electrical powerthat the solar panels produce and convert it into AC power before injecting it onto the grid. Thegoal of this project is to compare the performance of solar panel arrays fitted with stringinverters, DC power optimizers, and micro-inverters.

Because ofthis, some curriculum considerations of the EET program are included here. The College ofEngineering at ODU is one of the few in the nation to include an Engineering Technology (ET)department along with the traditional engineering departments. The ET department includesprograms in electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering technology and recently added amanufacturing technology program.

EducationWithin the scope of an individual or team endeavor, all professionals should aspire to andachieve a vision of their own realm of activity. Furthermore, communication of that vision isessential for anyone pursuing a project involving more than one person. This is perhaps the mostimportant underlying reason for us to emphasize communication in ET. If professional ETs havea clear understanding of how a complex technical task needs to be completed, they need tounderstand how it fits into the overall vision of the enterprise and then be able to communicatetheir own vision of their own task to others so that it can become part of the overall effort.
