c Society for Engineering Education, 2022 The TCCNS and the effect of variations on transferability AbstractWe consider the importance of transfer credit and efforts by State Government, Community Collegesand Universities to facilitate transferability. We focus on the issue as it applies to the State of Texaswhere many students start their higher education at a Community College and then continue on toBachelor’s degree programs at Universities. The Texas Common Course Numbering System(TCCNS) facilitates transfers of credit among over 100 community colleges and universities in thestate.

details themselves. • Being well rounded should be a priority. For example, in machining, an engineer that understands costing, lean manufacturing, CNC programming and machining is typically expected. However most ABET programs follow the traditional electrical and mechanical molds which leaves a large gap for the graduate to fill. Just as skilled trades have been asked to "wear more hats" so have engineers. • A 6 + year joint journeyman/ engineer program would be very appealing to employers. • Students need to be prepared for careers, not jobs. Certifications or a long list of skills are job related and will be out of date in no time. When I interviewed (and was interviewed), the emphasis

Students were required to maintain a standard engineering notebook during laboratoryactivities. Each student’s notebook included circuit schematics, hypotheses, and experimentaldata. Each procedure contained extensive pre- and post-lab activities aimed at reviewing the laband lecture concepts. Post-lab assignments contained textbook problems, experiment analysisquestions, and computer programming problems (typically using MATLAB, MathCAD, orPSPICE). Each post-lab assignment also proposed a related design question, which requiredstudents to critically analyze a realistic problem and generate a

The results of the real time electromagnetictransient simulation were validated by comparing to transient stability simulations run usingPTI’s PSS/E program. The differences in the results were primarily traced to the fact that theelectromagnetic transient solution algorithm provides more detail and therefore greater accuracythan the transient stability algorithm7.A group of faculty and students are working to develop innovative ways of teaching and researchutilizing modeling and simulation power of RTDS.

It was felt that the engineering students in their junior year were well-preparedto undertake the product design and development challenge because by that time they havegained an understanding of the properties of engineering materials, been exposed to the basics ofmechanical design and obtained hands-on experience with manufacturing processes.
