Carolina University requiresinterdisciplinary integration of electrical, mechanical, and systems topics. Thisintegration demands creative pedagogy to ensure coverage of necessary content withinlimited time. With a brief introduction of the features of the newly-built program, thispaper describes methodology required by the curriculum structure. It then presents anefficient method to deliver electrical engineering subjects with two examples.Preliminary results of this initial work are further discussed.MotivationBenjamin Franklin’s famous saying ─ Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.Involve me and I learn ─ suggests ways educators should deliver knowledge to theirstudents. This is particularly true for the new general engineering program

fellows preparethemselves for presenting material throughout life in an interesting and engaging manner. Thisis a communication skill having little to no presence in the typical graduate student experience.When discussing issues of sustainability, it is important that the teacher feel comfortableteaching the material to the students without the aid of the GK-12 fellow. Communication ofengineering concepts and principles must be a goal, but the teacher must also be able to teachthose same concepts to their students. This becomes another role that the fellow must take on,teaching the teacher to teach. To achieve this, the teacher much first understand the material andbecome comfortable with it to the point where he/she feels confident teaching it

The Internet has a large amount of sample cases and suggestion toassist an instructor in fulfilling this requirement (for example seehttp://onlineethics.org/reseth/mod/biores.html for materials specific to bioengineering).Many instructors use cases studies to help students notice the relevant features of anethical dilemma. Also, using a framework similar to models of problem solving, studentscan learn methods for systematically analyzing these cases to determine when theyshould look for more information and what are the ramifications of various decisions. One of the most challenging aspects of analyzing an ethical problem is the initialidentification of the problem. However, when students study ethics in a course, they areusually doing

This decision seems todepend in general of two factors: the instructor, and the course main topic.Despite the technical advances in operating systems, and the development of graphical user interfacesthat simplify the use of complex simulation packages, the controversy is still unresolved. Thetechnological advances in new or alternative processes to deal with new financial, technical,environmental, and/or social issues impose new demands on instructors and course curricula.
