abstract. As a result,both curricula are being developed as project-based curricula that offer plenty of hands-on andexperiential learning opportunities.III. Curriculum DevelopmentThe establishment of the Alternate Energy Innovation Center (AIEC) on the SPSU campusprovided an opportunity for ET faculty to integrate their applied research work into theirteaching. A number of ECET and MET faculty have been engaged in projects through theAEIC. In the initial stages, the center focused on research into Solar Energy Systems and isequipped with roof-mounted solar panels with solar tracking equipment. The scope of work hasrecently been expanded to include the study of Wind Energy Systems, Fuel Cell Technology,Power Electronics and Applications, Energy

ENG6 is a required lower division course that teaches basic programmingconcepts to electrical, biomedical, mechanical, aeronautical, and civil engineering students.Because computer science and computer engineering students are not required to take thiscourse, most students have little familiarity with programming. Some are also not motivated tomaster programming concepts, since they view software design as being outside the corecompetencies required for their chosen disciplines.

Most of these programs use either Basic or C++.Of the more recent languages; Java, PHP, Python, Ruby use of Python is gaining groundamong modern computer programmers. Learning Python is easier, less grammatical and usesmore natural syntax. These two reasons are enough to make the case for teaching it as thefirst programming language.Python is easy to learn and simple
