First-Year Programs

programming assignments showed that the majority of first-yearstudents in programming courses do not meet the expectations of instructors at the end of theirfirst course in computing [2]. Engineering students are no different in this regard. One potentialreason for this discrepancy between the learning outcomes desired by instructors and studentperformance is that the instructional methods used as well as the course content do not matchwell with the learning styles of most engineering students.The idea of learning styles has been around since the early 1980’s [4] and there are manylearning style models and assessments. The most commonly used within engineering is theFelder-Silverman learning styles model [5], with its associated assessment, the Index

This first seminar was aimed at getting the faculty to identify whatcore competencies in teaching should be important for the School of ECS. Teachingexcellence is consistent with Baylor University 's Christian commitment, to do “…whateveryou do, you must do all for the glory of God.” (I Cor 10:31) or

States were down 2.8%, thebiggest annual drop since the 1980s [1]. The Smart Grid enables grid operators to see further into thesystem and allows them the flexibility to better manage the intermittency of RES. This in turn surmountsa significant barrier, enabling wind and solar to be deployed rapidly – and in larger percentages to havea green Smart Grid.Going Green through the use of RES and make the planet sustainable and by so doing improve the airquality and environment. US government has required that by the year 2030 that 20% of the electricalenergy generated in the U S will be from RES. There are many different types of RES such ashydroelectric, biomass, wind, solar, wave, tidal and geothermal. The key to the usage of renewableresources is

”.Engineers and non-engineers alike widely characterize engineering as a discipline whose purposeis to “solve problems”, and this is often framed as “design”1. Despite movements since at leastthe 1990’s to reform engineering education to integrate design throughout the curriculum,including during the freshman year, engineering curricula remain dominated by “linear” and “topdown” models that postpone the introduction of design. In this standard model, basic math andscience (“analysis”) courses are given during the first two years, followed by application of thisknowledge to conduct basic engineering analysis during the second and third years, andculminating in engineering design (e.g., capstone design projects) during the last year2, 3.

The winter quarter project, a renovation of an 8,000 square foot 1930’s building with an addition is expected to better complement the available time. o Project type is critical; the students should be reasonably comfortable with required technical expertise and use that expertise as a platform to explore the team and integrated project requirements. Winter quarter’s project which involves a renovation/seismic upgrade of an unreinforced masonry structure requires technical expertise for the ARCE students that are not covered in regular course work.
