mechanical systems. Then, students will solve them by using a directmethod in the real domain and by applying the transform methods either in the frequency domain(Phasor Transform) or in the complex s-domain (Laplace Transform). Since the application oftransform techniques is much quicker and more efficient, especially when a real system carriesthe initial condition(s) or boundary conditions, we will focus on the Phasor Transform todetermine the steady-state response for an AC circuit and the Laplace Transform to derive thecomplete system solution, which includes transient and steady-state responses for both electricaland mechanical models.

traced back to a single member‟sinitiative in late December 2000. From that initiative, the MULTI Division membership hasgrown to its rank as the fifth largest ASEE Division in 2010. At this ten-year mark, it seemsappropriate to document this decade of development of the ASEE MULTI Division, as it is nowknown. This paper reviews the MULTI Division‟s development over its first decade with arecord of the highlights of each year of that first decade and the steps that led from that initiativeto recognition as an ASEE “constituent committee” in 2005 and then the MultidisciplinaryEngineering Division in 2006. This initiative also contributed significantly to ASEE‟s currentrole in the ABET EAC accreditation process. MULTI is now the fifth largest
agreed to incorporate the nanotechnology-based design project intotheir sections. This project required students to develop a Graphical User Interface (GUI) usingMATLAB to teach their peers about nanotechnology for a real project partner (nanoHUB.org).17The student teams received a memo from the project partner that described the details of theassignment (Appendix A). The project was driven by five criteria: 1. Clearly helps peers understand the Size & Scale of nanotechnology (big idea #1), 2. Clearly assists peers in connecting Size & Scale to at least one other nanoscience big idea 3. Clearly engages peers in how criteria 1 and 2 apply to one or more engineering disciplines via model(s) or simulation(s) 4. Is highly

Thus, even within an institution, how each Grand Challenges Scholar achieveseach competency often varies. For example, some scholars may complete course(s) while othersmay engage in experience(s) in order to achieve each competency. The types of courses andexperiences students are involved in also vary, depending on the students’ Grand Challengefocus area and/or their specific interests within that competency area. For example, therequirements to achieve each GCSP competency at ASU, shown below in Table 1, are written interms of number of courses and experiences, but the student can
