Troubleshooting and Safety SimulatorAbstractAn NSF-ATE project is being developed building upon two previous projects: 1) “Wind TechTV”, a 2010 ATE project which created a library of online training videos for wind turbinemaintenance, and 2) "Mixed Reality Simulators for Wind Energy Education", a U.S. Departmentof Education FIPSE project which produced a series of simulators for wind energy education.The current project is integrating a library of real scenarios with existing simulators to allowstudents to have hands-on experiences that would otherwise be dangerous or impractical. Itincludes open-ended questions for students to learn critical thinking and problem solving.An interdisciplinary team including representatives from four community colleges

/ Penn State/ Penn StateRecent trends in education have included learning strategies that employ complex, often multi-disciplinary, problems as centerpieces. They are then employed as beacons toward which coursetopics, concepts, or solution methods are directed. Generally, the learning strategies can becategorized as case-based, problem-based, or inquiry-based. These three new approaches tend torely on the use of technical papers or briefs, whether electronic or printed, to support and drive thediscussion of the topic. As a result, the traditional role of the lecturer, moving sequentially throughchapters in a textbook, has been challenged. However, the qualities that make for an effectivetraditional lecture are also present in these new

Hence, many universities and colleges have developed and aredeveloping methods to expose their students to international culture, business and engineeringpractices. Traditional methods involve exchanges of students and/or faculty between a U. S.institution and a foreign one. Types of exchange include: the exchange of graduate orundergraduate students with another institution for part of their education; the exchange ofgraduate students for research efforts; and, the exchange of faculty for purposes of research orteaching. Other methods involve the teaching of globalized culture, business and engineeringcourses at the U. S. institutions, and

Yet beyond insisting that students think, faculty often fail to teach studentsmuch about developing effective tools for thinking. Hence, our goals—as a business managerand a university professor--have included developing tools for reflection and analysis andintroducing these tools to engineering students so they can use them throughout their educationand career.One of the best tools that humans can use to enhance thinking is a notebook.
