Fourth, the development of new materials con-tinues to have a significant impact upon electrical energy conversion systems. Examples includematerials such as piezoelectric ceramic, artificial muscle, permanent magnets, soft iron nanoma-terials and micro-fabrication methods. These topics are included in advanced graduate levelcourses at many research-based engineering colleges. However, the inclusion in undergraduateeducation has lagged even though the basic underlying science is accessible to junior and seniorlevel students. Consequently, a renewed energy conversion course would incorporate the previ-ously mentioned developments in nanoscience

increasing efforts thatsupport the recruitment and success of students in STEM [2-9]. Furthermore, many universitieshave implemented a variety of programs that employ high impact retention approaches,including advising, mentoring, active learning, student engagement, and other support services.[10-14]. While there are many causes that result in low graduation rates, it is more likely thatrates could be improved if students are well-prepared for college and have clear future careergoals. Studies have shown, for example, that K-12 students who participate in STEM programsincrease their chances to succeed in STEM disciplines once they are in college. Such programsprovide participants with important knowledge and skills and help them gain a
