An individualmust be motivated to seek them out, implying that that person’s interest has already beencaptured.At the university level, the problem of energy literacy is being addressed in several areas. Thefirst area addresses materials and teaching expertise for K-12 teachers15,16,17. Another idea is toinclude energy topics in courses that are already being conducted, such as thermodynamics, heattransfer and fluid mechanics18,19,20,21. Other courses have been specifically developed as electivesto address specialized topic areas22,23. Still other courses emphasize service learning24,25,26.Nevertheless, the state of energy education in higher education is dismal. For

This requirement is important in addressing amajor deficiency that many new graduates have: the lack of ability to evaluate whether thecomputer results make sense or someone committed an error in the input. Course materials(including projects); student acceptance and performance; and course assessment and evaluationwill be addressed in the paper.

Thisallows a particularly strong cadet to excel and not be unfavorably assessed based on thepoor performance of his or her group members. Those points are assessed based on apeer review system for each major assignment and four quizzes (see table below). Thequiz material is a review from their previous courses in the sequence, SE300 and SE350,and should serve as a preview of the material to come as their project moves forward inthe SEMP.

Equations"Mechanics is the paradise of the mathematical sciences, because by means of it one comes to the fruits ofmathematics." – Leonardo da VinciA mathematical approach is unquestionably the most exact, effective and economical way inengineering problem solving as well as in engineering education. Problem-solving is defined asa process used to obtain a best answer to an unknown or a decision subject to some constraints.(Mourtos 2004) In traditional engineering classes, the students’ ability to comprehendengineering principles can successfully be obtained by manually solving a series of multipleengineering problems of progressive difficulty in the same fashion as most engineering textbooks

The physical models are valuable tools for introducing the sophomores tothe essence of chemical engineering. By devising some design exercises around the model, Igenerated some excitement in the sophomore class. For the senior class, the models serve asexcellent validation for the design concepts they have learned in class.

EML is being promoted byKern Entrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) and implemented at many institutions. 3Csof the entrepreneurial framework are defined as: 1. Curiosity. Students are encouraged to demonstrate constant curiosity about our world, and explore different solutions, which empowers them to investigate the rapidly changing world and motivates them to become life-long learners. 2. Make connections. Students integrate information from many sources to gain insight, assess, and reveal innovative solutions. 3. Creating value

Composites visual and microscopic inspectionmay indicate that the composite is undamaged but in actuality may have lost up to 70% of theiroriginal strength due to chemical changes resulting from heat damage.This paper will discuss implementation and comparison of portable laser induced fluorescencesystem and laser induced imaging system to detect heat damage in composites. These systemswere considered because conventional methods are not suitable to detect the aforementionedheat damage but are meant to detect mechanical damages such as cracks and material loss.In an effort to understand the implementation of the techniques involved in the detection of heatdamage in polymer composites, this paper will discuss the results from the previous study

However,there is growing emphasis on engineers with “professional skills” as well.

The former emphasized engineering graduates “must understand theprinciples of leadership and be able to practice them in growing proportions as their careersadvance.”Fundamental engineering, very applied and hands-on, is a stated need by industry.

For instance, if only 8licenses of commercial software are available, but a class consists of 15 students, then, analternative strategy of instruction such as dividing the class into groups and teaching the groups indifferent shifts must be adopted.
