unsteady (using Explicit) numerical methods for conduction heat transfer using a spreadsheet (ExcelTM) is described. This method makes use of the similarity between nodes in numerical heat transfer and cells in a spreadsheet. Extensive use is made of the electrical analogy for heat transfer in the difference equations. Students program in the difference equations and the boundary conditions in a template provided to them. Students prepare their own macros for the iteration schemes. The versatility of the spreadsheet approach allows spatially and temporally dependent boundary conditions which in turn permits almost immediate applications to engineering design including optimization.

processes and outcomes by thevarious stakeholders, are powerful drivers for more fundamental research in engineeringeducation. The two are interconnected and both embed the idea of the need to know what worksand why and how practices can be continuously improved. While the obvious focus might be inmeasuring the implementation of new practices and systems, there is an underlying expectationthat fundamental and applied research will guide these reforms. The NSF Strategic Plan in 1995identified the integration of research and education as a core strategy and Fortenberry 7foreshadowed new programs from the NSF to support educational research in Science,Mathematics, Engineering and Technology disciplines, ranging from fundamental research, toapplied
to “extinction” of educational programs. Effective and efficient interfacewith stakeholders outside the academia is also paramount.Area of application and proposed approachOne of such niche areas gaining prominent attention is the next-generation electricity grid,known as the “smart grid” or “intelligent grid,” which is expected to address the majorshortcomings of the existing grid. To allow pervasive control and monitoring, the smart grid isemerging as a convergence of information technology and communication technology withpower system engineering. It is clearly a multidisciplinary area in need of retooling its currentapproaches to education and training.1The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) includes support
lack of detail remained essentially unchanged, by stating that “while theuse of advisory boards to support engineering educational programs is common, there isrelatively little written and no known comprehensive research on what it takes toestablish and operate an effective advisory program.” This paper appeared in April 2009,and a recent thorough search through EBSCO, LexisNexis Academic and ProQuestDatabases indicates that this lack of data persists. Kaupins and Coco3 points out that“advisory boards bridge the gap between academic world and the workplace.” However,poorly organized and run advisory boards may affect the performance of the school andprograms4.This paper does not purport to provide comprehensive research results on how
