whose purpose was to address thelack of energy awareness on the part of students in general. Furthermore, it was apparent thatBaylor University’s engineering students, while studying the technical engineering topics in thecurriculum, were also unaware of the challenges ahead in the area of energy. This paper examinesthe development of an "energy literacy" class designed for incoming freshmen in all disciplines.Many students do not know their major as incoming freshmen but they may have an interest in thearea of energy regardless of major. As part of the Quality Enhancement Program (QEP), arequirement of SACS, Baylor University was tasked to develop living and learning communities forincoming freshmen that revolved around a theme.

In thewomen’s basketball program at Cal Poly, open communications are valued. Athletes hear the coach’svalues and goals everyday at practice and meet individually with the coach every other week. Theyreceive feedback on the court during practice and are encouraged to approach the coach as often asnecessary when issues arise
/Capstone Project IdeasBeyond modules which can be accomplished in a laboratory class setting of two to three hours,the PolyVent can also provide inspiration for larger projects, for courses such as CapstoneEngineering Design not specific to bioengineering but open to many disciplines. Ideas forresearch or advanced undergraduate projects include: ● Designing a PCB to drive an air heater and/or humidifier and creating a supportive software extension ● Designing a nebulizer for drug delivery ● Programming new ventilation modes ● Designing a hardware module to support acoustic ventilation ● Programming the system to become a small animal veterinarian ventilator ● Designing a software control, and possibly a new hardware, to

In addition to having a large number of I/O pins, the controller offers memory space forup to 500 lines of code. Since the device will spend much of its time in a sleep state its 50μAsleep current draw means it will not be a significant burden on the system’s power source.

STEMcareers. However, recruitment is only one side of the coin. In order to solve the projectedshortage in STEM professionals, there needs to be greater focus on the expansion of accessto qualified non-traditional students. Online/distant education is an appropriate vehicle toutilize in this expansion of access.However, there are several challenges to offering an entire program in electrical engineeringand/or electrical engineering technology online. One of the most significant of thechallenges is the difficulty of offering high quality, instructor led, lab experiences overdistance. Another challenge is to achieve this at a low cost. A solution to these problemswould be a low cost, physical laboratory kit that each distant learning student would

One such approach issystems analysis which has been defined as: "The diagnosis, formulation, and solution ofproblems that arise out of the complex forms of interaction in systems, from hardware tocorporations, that exist or are conceived to accomplish one or more specific objectives. Systemsanalysis provides a variety of analytical tools, design methods and evaluative techniques to aid indecision making regarding such systems."
