By doing so, we aim to attract and retain students and provide a focus forpreparing students for careers and graduate studies in these areas. This innovative programintegrates an undergraduate curriculum with hands-on experience provided by exposure tolaboratory activities and undergraduate research that spans the student’s college years.

A laboratory of this type will not only be useful forfuture engineering jobs/training, but will also stimulate interest in graduate study ofmicroelectronics and microfabrication fields. Many higher education institutions havesuccessfully implemented microfabrication courses for undergraduates into theircurricula. A common factor in these programs is a laboratory component where studentsare able to reinforce the theoretical principles learned in the classroom.

It is byexample and homework problems that we instill the connection.Most presentations for making this connection are either printed matter, or computer-basedlearning. Computer-based learning holds the most promise at this time because we have to admitthat printed material is limited in its level of interactivity. It is difficult to respond to a particularstudent problem without mudding the waters for everyone.A solution, which addresses these limitations, is a program that queries students for problemcomponents. This relieves the system of having to be a complete intelligent tutoring system byaddressing specific parts of the example problem. And

SummaryThe transition to a successful member of the academy can be supported in many ways by hiringinstitutions, through formal mentoring programs, encouraging informal mentoring anddeveloping faculty learning communities. While first year faculty are encouraged to participatein these, it is also wise to develop supportive relationships within the broader institutioncommunity that can provide social interaction as well as a network for dealing with issues ofteaching, research and service.

The program provides the student with the means to actually observe conceptspresented in class, including s-plane lines of constant overshoot, time to peak, and settling time.A second program is described which allows the student to drag a quadratic pole in the z-planeand to observe the corresponding discrete step response. In addition to overshoot, time to peak,and settling time, the number of samples per cycle are easily seen as the z-pole is moved. Thesample time can be changed while the program is in execution.

As the use of renewable energy resources becomes, more pervasiveelectrical engineering programs must adapt their energy-related offerings and move in a directionthat includes a greater experiential component and integrate grid-related topics [13].
