c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Resources for Flipping Classes AbstractAs flipped classes become more popular, opportunities for sharing resources andtechniques arise. Instructors can learn from the experience of others, and they can alsoborrow materials and approaches that others have used. But the design space is verylarge, and simple web searches usually fail to retrieve the most relevant materials. Thispaper aims to serve as a guide to what is currently available in three areas: sites devotedto the pedagogy of “flipping,” sources for reusable materials such as videos, andtechniques other than lecturing that can be used during a class

Paulo, BRAZIL E-mail: drciampi@copec.eu Abstract - It is a fact that even some engineering professors work in researches with the industry; it is interesting to note that the industry has little or no interest in investing in the training of engineers to work in the industries during under-graduation level. Their perception still does not show that it is an investment. The communications between engineering schools and industry has evolved however it is still very humble. Another fact is that university professors, who are often judged primarily by their performance as researchers, do not have time to develop relationships and resources beyond their teaching materials at their disposal. Likewise

Electric Power Distribution System Reliability and Outage Costs: An Undergraduate Industry CollaborationAbstract:This paper describes an undergraduate, cross-disciplinary research into the economic effects ofpower system outages, with a focus on the Pacific Northwest region. The results of this researchare useful for utilities in their planning and assessment of electric grid reliability. The PacificNorthwest region of the United States experiences a temperate climate with brief summers andlong-lasting winters. Generally, the highest electricity demand for the region occurs during thewinter months, when heating is turned on. Therefore, an outage that occurs during winter monthsresults in additional non-financial
