on the fundamental concepts of thermal systems design andanalysis is possible with the introduction of system modelling software that carries some of theload of repetitive calculation required for complex systems. Models of thermodynamic systemsencountered in an advanced undergraduate thermodynamics course were developed by students(some provided to students) to solve homework problems of complex steam power plants,internal combustion engines, gas turbine power plants, refrigeration, and building energysystems. Computer modelling systems used included two commercial modelling programs, anopen source program, and systems developed by the authors. Use of the modelling softwareforced students to setup problems in the same way as if solved on

From these conversations, some key takeawaysincluded the student’s lack of being able to develop a Production Part Approval Process plan,design fixtures to hold parts or measuring instruments during the inspection process,misunderstanding of data in control charts, and inability to complete a design of experiments.With this in mind, manufacturing and quality engineers from local injection molding companiesand small machine shops were asked about donating parts (good and bad), as well as theassociated mechanical drawings, for students to use as part of class projects. In turn for donatingparts, these representatives would be invited to

This paper gives seven simple and easy to remember “tricks of the trade” for newengineering educators to be effective instructors.1 IntroductionWhile every Ph.D. engineering program prepares the student for a career in research, manyprograms fail to prepare, even superficially, the Ph.D. student for a career in instruction [1], [20].Some universities identify students with aspirations to be engineering faculty and prepare themfor the three main faculty duties: instruction, research, and service. Ideally, the future “newengineering educator” (NEE) is educated in, or at least exposed to, learning styles [5], [23],instructional methods [17], [18], basic cognition theory [23], and

Thedepths of communication topics are dependent on how, or whether, a communication specialty isoffered within the electrical engineering program.At Bowling Green, our electronics and computer technology program has followed a similartemplate, while additionally covering topics such as physical interface standards (e.g. RS-232,RS-422).
