Typical attendance in these community meetings hasmore than doubled from 5 to 12 over a period of one year. We are adopting a strategy from themusic department when they host guest performing artists, having a public engagement event aswell as master class offerings. Our engineering interpretation on this approach is to have ourspeaker of distinction offer a 45-minute interactive lunch talk for all faulty, accompanied bymultiple small sessions of group interaction, with a limited number of participants to promotedeep discussion.To ensure ease of access to shared resources, the initiative is also building a Microsoft (MS)Team ESCL@Te Community site

The Internet as Infrastructure for EducatorsOne means of supporting this effort is the Internet and the WWW (world wide web). The projectwe report on in this paper, which was recently funded by the National Science Foundation, is tocreate an electronic infrastructure to support design and manufacturing educators. Thisframework will provide a mechanism by which the many computer-based resources alreadycreated can become accessible to an expanded, global community. It will be a place wheredevelopers of new educational materials, case studies, databases and applicable knowledgeresources may immediately obtain feedback on new contributions and education methodologies.A network-centric approach will help ensure that those materials are more widely

Approach: The Runway Across DisciplinesThe first challenge to address is that of teaching students to design a vehicle before taking anycourse in the various disciplines involved. In addition, the students come in with no knowledgeof calculus, only high school level physics and chemistry, and no engineering mechanics. This isthe traditional problem which daunts teachers who try to use this course to save time in the restof the curriculum. However, by careful examination of the course content, and suitable use ofcomputer software such as Microsoft Excel, it was found to be feasible to reduce all of thesubject matter to a level which could be logically presented and comprehended by an

The relatively new nature ofelectric propulsion technology means there is no established consensus on the subjects that shouldbe included in a curriculum, creating challenges in standardizing its education. Additionally, thecredit hour limits of engineering degree programs make it difficult to introduce new courseswithout displacing existing content.
