conducted toevaluate student perceptions, which were very positive, and results are presented in thepaper.Introduction As we begin to offer the lower division engineering classes as distance education,one of the primary issues to be addressed is how to provide office hour type help for thedistance students. Many undergraduate students need help with the homework, andinternet based communication tools are the most logical choice for providing the officehour help. As we use the internet based communication tools, we find that they are veryconvenient and effective for the faculty and traditional on-campus students, as well as thedistance students. Class sizes are getting larger, and the amount of time that faculty canspend working individually
Clean Energy Education and the Energy Transition AgendaAbstractAwareness of the effects of global warming has become mainstream and drives the need toreduce dependence on fossil fuels. The urgency to transition to clean energy (CE) sources isapparent. Growth in rapidly developing clean energy technologies and their manufacturingindustries drives increased demand for graduates trained in these areas. CE Education is theevolution of traditional disciplines to educate candidates to meet the demand for technicians tosupport the global energy transition away from fossil fuels. Engineering and technologyeducation must be designed to prepare students with skills for energy sector employment.Students will be involved in designing

DSP whichenable user freedom from tackling assembly language instructions. There has been an increasinginterest in courses in digital signal processing in engineering technology curricula. Theexploration of projects based on DSP’s requires knowledge of both hardware and software fromthe student who intends to accomplish the goals of a project on time. The basic backgroundrequired is in digital logic, a/d and d/a conversion, and assembly and / or C languageprogramming skills. This paper addresses a power electronic application [7-8] built around the capabilities ofa TI DSP. Although the current project utilizes the fixed-point capabilities, the floating-pointcapabilities are being explored in an ongoing project to control the torque

Senior Design Project Delivery via Student Generated Web Sites - "Lessons Learned" Charles McIntyre and Hung Nguyen North Dakota State UniversityIntroductionIn traditional “project-based” courses (senior level design and capstone courses), the finalproducts are typically paper-based reports and plans (CAD drawings) which include informationrelated to the design and construction aspects of the project. On occasion, the final projects aresubmitted in some form of electronic format (CD, zip, etc.) [2,5]. Currently, many engineering andconstruction firms post project information on company or project specific web sites. In order toprovide students with the “real world” experience
