The salaries paid to power engineers have been lower than those ofvirtually all other electrical engineers. Student enrollments have steadily declined. Universityprograms have atrophied. To top things off, as the electric power industry has been radicallyreorganized in the last 10 years to allow for greater competition, utilities have economized bycutting staff, even as the technical requirements of running their operations have becomespectacularly more demanding” [5]. Given this bleak outlook, student interest in energy careerswaned, and it had become increasingly difficult for industry to attract and retain new talent.Many universities

The methodology has the potential to define anew paradigm for instruction in rapidly-evolving fields such as molecular simulation,computational chemistry, biochemical engineering, and materials science. Our immediate aimhas been to initiate a World Wide Web (WWW)-based “textbook” on molecular simulation, andto introduce it into the graduate and undergraduate chemical engineering curricula at ourrespective institutions.

These areas include electrical and computerengineering, computing sciences, mechanical engineering, and other engineering disciplines. Asa result, it is very difficult to train students and engineers within a single discipline to effectivelydesign and implement complex real-time embedded systems. Thus, we felt that it was importantto first establish an interdisciplinary framework of structured courses for education in real-timeembedded system design [5].

Thebelief is that inquiry-based learning will not only improve students’ knowledge of science, but itwill also improve their ability to think critically and creatively about the natural world(Maienschein, 1998). Introduction of a new approach, such as inquiry-based learning, could alsobe a useful intervention to increase the percentage of students that remain in STEM relatedfields. Studies have determined that less than 40% of students entering college intending tomajor in STEM related fields graduate with a STEM degree. One of the reasons high-performingstudents frequently give for changing majors is uninspiring introductory courses
