Therefore, to attract new students to our area, it is important to utilize state-of-the- art and industrial-grade equipment. • At the University of Minnesota, an integrated Electric Energy Systems curriculum has been developed, which follows a top-down, systems-level approach to highlight interrela- tionships between power electronics, electric power systems, and electric machines and drives 15. Specifically, the topic of power electronics is intended to cover both the funda- mentals and practical design in a single-semester course. The experimental part of the course is based on using a pre-fabricated reconfigurable power electronic board called

The ARCS framework is used as aconceptual framework to unpack high school students’ motivational influences inengineering/computer science project-based learning via a series of focus groups. Using theinsights obtained from First and Second cycle coding based qualitative analysis, IoT-basedCS curricular modules that align with Grades 9-12 Computer Science Teachers Association(CSTA) standards were developed. The curricular design centered around creating learner-focused scaffolding in project-based learning environments, improving the relevance of theclassroom content with the real-world context that students have experiences in or

Through the design studios, studentswill have the opportunity to translate into practical terms the diverse skills acquired in these twocurricula.The design studios will also challenge students to integrate and balance these two domains oflearning with PDI’s third domain, the aesthetic, including the relevant elements of arts andarchitecture design. This challenge changes from year to year because students will enter the PDIdesign studios with an increasing background from previous studios as well as from engineeringand STS courses.

In general,applied, rich problems, found in most engineering contexts, are likely to have a similarpropensity to involve a diverse set of mathematics.As a result of this study, we have a number of possible ideas that will help guide our futureresearch with this curriculum and with other engineering curricula intending to teachmathematics. For instance, it may be more appropriate to use the engineering design activity as acapstone activity after the prerequisite mathematics knowledge has already been learned in amore traditional way. The engineering activity might then serve to strengthen and reinforceunderstanding of the mathematics ideas rather than

for an integrated lower-division engineering curriculum. Oneaspect of engineering education proposed in this curriculum was “addressing ethics in thecontext of an engineering issue”. To accomplish this goal, courses were designed withengineering ethics topics embedded within the syllabus.In parallel, the past decade has seen extensive growth in the number of electronic journals suchas those from the IEEE, and electronic books available as subscription based library electronicresources. Along with the web, this has created an information overload that is now a majorsource of confusion among students. This paper discusses an effort to integrate these resourcesinto coursework, as collaborative partnerships among the faculty, the library and
