Measurement of Co-Curricular Support: Insights from an Exploratory Factor AnalysisAbstractThe purpose of this work-in-progress paper is to share insights from current efforts to developand test the validity of an instrument to measure undergraduate students’ perceived support inscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The development and refinement ofour survey instrument ultimately functions to extend, operationalize, and empirically test theModel of Co-curricular Support (MCCS). The MCCS is a conceptual framework of studentsupport that demonstrates the breadth of assistance currently used to support undergraduatestudents in STEM, particularly those from underrepresented groups. We are currently
analysis that is highly attractive for the industry. Laboratory exercises in, for ex-ample, experimental vibration analysis and signal processing courses, can now be performedremotely using real equipment. Advanced vibration experiments have been conducted overthe Internet at Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden; the experiments have been carriedout using experimental hardware located in a small closed laboratory. Exercises are adaptedto on-campus students as well as distance learning engineers in continuing education pro-grams. A new possibility to directly integrate vibration experiments into lectures given byexpert teachers appears and after each lecture the students can repeat and elaborate on the ex-periments. Thus, enabling the students

Engineering Education, 2017 Modeling the Effect of Renewable Energy and Smart Appliances in Energy Reduction of Residential 1 Homes Using GridLab-DI. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND When used in concert, microgrid and smart grid technologies have the ability totransform the way power is delivered. A microgrid is a localized energy grid with a colocated setof power generation sources and loads, with autonomous control, which can operateindependently of the traditional power grid [1]. As a result of this ability for autonomous control,it is possible for microgrids to connect to the main power grid or act in an “islanded” mode.Microgrids can be more efficient than traditional grids due to the

There were fourteen graduate students that tookthis class in the traditional, on-campus, mode. They were all international students withlimited industry experience. In addition there were fourteen distance students who wereworking engineers and used a variety of communication technologies to participate in theclass. Seven utilized an audio-visual network that allowed them to see and hear the class,as well as be seen and heard by the other
