Two of the major outcomes were brainstorming and interaction among thegroups leading to innovative ideas and solutions. One of the major hurdles in this processwas the demands of time both for students and faculty alike.INTRODUCTIONThe undergraduate engineering curriculum has periodically undergone structural changesto reflect the societal needs of time and to head-start the future technological innovationsand learning/teaching cultures. Even though the traditional engineering education hasserved the nation well, nevertheless it has exhausted its effectiveness over the last twodecades because of rapid changes in technology and international trade.

Society for Engineering Education IntroductionBackgroundNucleation is fundamental to all phase changes. It is of importance in boiling andcondensation phenomena. Classical homogeneous nucleation theory provides a simplephysical model that describes the formation of a new phase from a supersaturated phasein the absence of foreign seed particles. By assuming isothermal conditions classicalnucleation theory is possible to solve for the steady state, isothermal rate of formation ofstable particles of the new phase as the function of the bulk physical properties of thematerial, the temperature, and the degree of supersaturation of the system 2. The simplestform is homogeneous nucleation from the vapor phase so it

Engineering Education, 2017 Modeling the Effect of Renewable Energy and Smart Appliances in Energy Reduction of Residential 1 Homes Using GridLab-DI. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND When used in concert, microgrid and smart grid technologies have the ability totransform the way power is delivered. A microgrid is a localized energy grid with a colocated setof power generation sources and loads, with autonomous control, which can operateindependently of the traditional power grid [1]. As a result of this ability for autonomous control,it is possible for microgrids to connect to the main power grid or act in an “islanded” mode.Microgrids can be more efficient than traditional grids due to the

F. Oreovicz, Teaching Engineering, McGraw Hill, 1993.Appendix – Teaching Sessions in New Faculty ForumsIn reviewing the sessions on teaching, five major themes emerge. For each of these themes, apair of sessions can be defined: one from a very practical perspective, and the other whichexamines the underlying educational theory. One of the difficulties associated with these topicswas that it was sometimes difficult for the participants to see the application of the theory to theircourses. Students always want more examples...even when they are professors!Setting and marking exams is paired with Fundamentals I: Cognitive levels and courseobjectives.
