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

Additionally, Kodkani [21] and others have described the development and use of aWeb-based system that supports and facilitates collaborative product design to a degree, andsome [22,23] have used the WWW on a more limited basis in similar applications.IV Expectations for the Course and SoftwareIn order to ensure that the senior

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 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

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
