2633 Energy Conservation in Thermal Power Courses William J. Hutzel Purdue University, West Lafayette, INAbstract What should technology and engineering students know about energy conservation?Traditional energy technologies, such as coal-fired power plants and petroleum-based internalcombustion engines, will continue to dominate modern society for the short term. However,evidence of global warming, ozone depletion, and other environmental concerns are beginning tobring energy conservation issues to the forefront. The purpose of this paper is

PrefaceWelcome to the 2009 American Society for Engineering Education-Pacific Southwest (ASEE-PSW)regional conference. The theme of this conference is “Educating Next Generation Engineers”. We asuniversity/college educators are responsible and continuously striving to prepare the next-generationengineers who will be ready to face the multi-faucet challenges required to move this nation forward. Thisconference is intended to bring together educators, researchers and practitioners from industry, academiaand government to advance engineering and technology education and to encourage wider collaborationbetween academics and industry. The conference is held for the engineering community and hosted byNational University. The large number of submitted papers

LabView® software was used for instrument control, dataacquisition, and calculation of linearity data. Linearity data is expressed as differentialnonlinearity (DNL) and integral nonlinearity (INL). Analysis of the data found theTHS5651IDW DAC to be monotonic since the magnitude of the DNL were less than ± 1 LSBand the INL were less than ± 0.5 LSB.I. IntroductionThe Electronics Engineering Technology program at the University of North Texas has a limitedbudget and facilities to provide research projects for graduate students.

The foundry industry must shift gears tohelp address shortages regarding a trained/educated workforce and improving metal castingeducation is an answer.The pandemic has changed our world where smart and resilient strategies are needed ineducation. Social distancing norms required certain university courses to be moved onto distancelearning platforms, where faculty were required to adapt quickly to new technology, newteaching methods, and techniques. Engineering courses required modification where instructorsand professors had to find innovative ways to blend theory and practice for technical subjects.The authors aimed to develop such an introductory Metal Casting course

In this course, students also learn more about the GCSP, identifytheir interests, and begin their path towards making a Grand Challenge area their life’s passion.Students also begin creating a plan to complete the program components during theirundergraduate studies.The specific course objectives are: 1. Develop an interdisciplinary understanding of the global engineering Grand Challenges that human societies face in the 21st century. 1. Describe the research themes at ASU, and locate ongoing

InformationThroughout the country there are numerous employment opportunities requiring skills that canbe acquired through attaining a degree linked to Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math(STEM). Unfortunately there is often a gap between the number of jobs available and thenumber of qualified applicants. This gap is especially acute in the State of Washington wherethere are an estimated 25,000 unfilled positions of which 80% are high-skilled STEM or health-care related1.Washington State is the base of operations for such engineering and technology giants asMicrosoft, Amazon, and Boeing. The Puget Sound region is also home to many companies thatmay not be thought of as high tech companies but, in fact, require a highly trained technicalworkforce. For

In spite ofthis disagreement, there remains much that can be learned from this literature about howwidespread these misconceptions are and how persistent they are, even under what isgenerally considered “good” instruction. Although these studies list many student mis-conceptions, none offer good, reliable, valid assessment instruments that can be used byinstructors in a “production” mode to judge the adequacy of their instruction.One of the significant hindrances to reform in science, technology, engineering and math-ematics (STEM
