energy crisis. The Energy Information Administration shows that the worldwide electricpower production from wind and solar will increase by 7.4% and 10.61%, respectively for the next 25years (U.S. Energy Infromation Administration, 2011). The trend of renewable energy growth should beclear from facts presented above.In most scenarios, renewable resources are available for free such as wind and solar, but harvesting of thequality electrical energy from them is challenging. The future of the cleaner energy challenge relies onwell trained work force and innovative thinking. The undergraduate engineering education is a suitableplace to start the training on renewable energy technologies. There is a long term demand and need inoffering program study

According to LaVine and Mitchell, LLCs increase retention by generating an encouragingand success-oriented learning environment.22 LLCs are outcome focused programs with a goal tocreate and build collaborative relationships, sustain an environment which fosters a high level ofcritical thinking, and increase individual intellectual and social growth.2,19,22 The retention ratesfor LLC students is higher than non-LLC students primarily because of innovative approaches tolearning, strong academic support services, increased interaction

Thecourse Instructor/Coordinator also is responsible developing and maintaining the CourseExpanded Green Sheet and ABET Course Syllabus, which list student learning objectives andcourse relationship to Program Outcomes and Educational Objectives. These are keycomponents in the process and in the Course Journal.Each Program Outcome has a Champion (faculty member or team) who develops and maintainsthe Outcome Notebook that is the new innovation and the key instrument for assessing Outcomeachievement. The Champion compares the

In this paper the author will discuss thehistory of these changes and how a traditional dynamics course has evolved from being primarilylecture to using cooperative learning and technology, and finally, how the course was integratedwith other courses using a common conservation and accounting framework.

The Evaluation ProcessThe evaluation process has become an important key to the successful development of EESP.Goals for the evaluation fall into three areas: a) assessment of learning, b) evaluation of theprogram, and c) dissemination of innovative and effective materials. Researchers from theLEAD Center are conducting an on-going evaluation of EESP and its long-term effects onparticipants. Based on LEAD's initial report3, a recent paper4 traced the first class of participantsthrough the program and drew on contacts in the five months after the program.Based on feedback from LEAD evaluations and discussions
sponsored on campus at which one of the experts in the field laidout the justification for assessment, and provided introductory materials and suggestions for how to get started. Acontinuing program for innovative teaching techniques has included several experts in the area of classroomassessment. One faculty member spent a sabbatical developing a post-graduation assessment tool for the COE. Anumber of books and other resources were purchased to establish a small “Assessment Library”. All of theseactivities combined to expedite implementation of the COE assessment program.The assessment coordination committee has also been collecting Information from other Institutions. Most programshave been doing some form of assessment in the past, but have not

ineverything we're doing.” Adding more context, this was further expanded on by Ken: [Wellness is] where we consider the unique assets of our students as not only something that should be embraced, but also something that should be encouraged for students to use. Because that way, by using their individual unique assets, that's what will help them innovate and come up with the most creative solutions that are meaningful to them and the communities that they come from. (Ken)Ken believed a culture of wellness could be achieved if engineering coursework includedstudents’ personal motivations and celebrated their diverse skillsets. This asset-based mindset[36] was echoed in the data relating to pedagogies and curriculum
