Exciting topics are usuallyselected to deliver up-to-date technology in this field. Several examples include hybrid systemsused in trucks and buses and important issues in EV/HEV that still need to be worked out byindustry.3.6 Plant TripsDuring the last week of classes, students take a plant visitation trip where they get the chance tosee different activities in this area and hold discussions with research scientists in areas such asDSP, power electronics, batteries, and power systems, all related

The importance of embedding research professional development skillsis also key to maximizing the positive impacts of such experiences on the undergraduate menteesinvolved [7]. Professional development training on topics related to the context of research hasbeen shown to reduce barriers to research involvement and improve confidence in a studentmentee's ability to make contributions to a research team [8].The Informatics Skunkworks program seeks to enable research mentors to engage more studentsin

beeffective for increasing student engagement is to place these abstract concepts in a practicalcontext2,3,4,5. This way the students can experience the usefulness of these concepts and canrelate it to the other subjects which they are learning at the same time.With the ultimate goal of having students learn the fundamental mathematical concepts presentedin the initial years of the program, it is helpful to enable the student see and discover how thematerial is relevant to the rest of their engineering curriculum. This can provide an extraincentive for the student to engage with the material at hand. Since the vast majority of studentlearning happens outside of the lecture hall, it is important to create such experiences so thestudent is motivated to

The ever-increasingcomplexity of modern embedded systems has raised the potential for security breaches that maycompromise the integrity and functions of these products.
