The effective integration ofpower electronics, electric drives, and system related issues into the EMEC curriculum demandssignificant redesign of both the course and laboratory exercises. One such redesign is currently beingsupported under the Adaptation and Implementation track of the NSF’s CCLI program at SouthDakota State University3. Emerging from this work is an efficient pedagogical approach forintegration of power electronics, drives and the permanent magnet DC motor.Using a "just-in-time" strategy, successfully developed at University of Minnesota4 and furthermodified at SDSU3, four laboratory exercises and corresponding lecture material associated with

Themajor advantage of the Simulink environment is the integrated code generator. This codegenerator can translate Simulink diagrams to standard C code. This code can be utilised inspecial-purpose devices, such as transputers, for real time control applications.3.1 Simulation AlgorithmBoth MATLAB and Simulink can provide reduced processing time if the algorithm can be

his studies, Guglielmino 26 identified that self-direction in learning is Page 24.33.5something that all individuals have to some varying degree. He also adds that despite theclassroom environment, the student’s attitudes, values, and abilities indicate their level of self-directed learning 26. Based on these factors, a self-directed learner can be described as one whohas initiative, independence and persistence in learning 26.Expectancy-Value TheoryExpectancy-value is comprised of the students’ expectancy for success in engineering and thevalue that they attach to activities related to engineering, like design courses 27, 28.

Development of an Assessment Plan for a New Sequence of Design CoursesAbstractA new sequence of mechanical design courses was developed at California State University,Northridge to improve the integration of design concepts into the mechanical engineeringcurriculum. The new courses were created using the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate(CDIO) framework as the context for engineering education. Key goals of the new sequence areto increase student performance and retention, particularly in the first two years of the program.Courses in the new sequence were part of a significant mechanical engineering program change,and are being offered for the first time in the Fall 2009 semester.

Engineers are responsible for designing building systems including heating, airconditioning, electrical, communications, fire protection, security, and developing technologiesto help make building infrastructures stronger than before and after a disaster. Many educationalinstitutions around the world are developing new programs and courses relating to the emergingfield of disaster & emergency management to mange, mitigate and prepare for the disasters. Theobjective of these programs is not only to deal with disasters but also to implement strategies thatcould prevent or minimize the chances of reoccurring, and developing long term resilience todisasters.

and engineering concepts, while I myself learned somebasic tenets for communicating technical ideas to a non-technical audience. One of themain approaches is to use analogies to relate engineering concepts to concepts ineveryday life. One of the basic foundations of engineering is that physical principlescan be modeled mathematically, because they obey the logical laws of physics; however,a person need not be a mathematician to understand the physical principles. Engineerslearn to make the relationship between the mathematical model and the physical system.When addressing students who are not familiar with mathematics, the physicalprinciples simply have to be related to other things, which are more familiar to thestudents. The students need

How This Case Can Be UsedThis case is a good one for discussion because it raises a number of interesting ethical questions,such as the following.Questions related to whistleblowing • Did Betty Lambuth have an ethical duty to tell her boss, Steve Hawkins, that the White House did not seem willing to fix the problem that kept the e-mails from being searched? • On the other hand … The contractors undoubtedly signed a nondisclosure agreement, which pledged them not to reveal any nonpublic information they encountered
