This newly approved cluster of five courses described in the paperhas been approved by the University for satisfying University upper-division general educationrequirements. As a consequence, students choosing this route to meet their general educationrequirements do not have to take additional courses to obtain a global perspective in their chosenfield of study.IntroductionOld Dominion University is a comprehensive, state-supported institution located in Norfolk,Virginia, home to one of the world’s largest naval bases

program curriculum.IntroductionAs an applied field, engineering education has long understood the importance of relevance inour programs. The strength of an industry appears highly correlated to the strength of the scienceand engineering knowledge in that industry [1]. So a strong link between our educationalprograms and the industries we serve must be nurtured. We must first understand industry needsbefore we can develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values our students require to besuccessful. Without this understanding, the likely result is a skills gap which can cause juniorengineers to struggle when attempting to secure their first job. This gap has implications for howindustry, faculty, applicants, and the general public perceive

Increasing the number of students researching these technologies would increase thelikelihood of progress.The process of testing batteries to characterize performance and durability typically requires theuse of specialized equipment that may be beyond the budget for many educators. Hence, manyinterested students may not have access to the tools to perform these experiments.To remedy this, we have begun the development of an open source battery-testing platform thatcan be built at a fraction of the cost of commercial systems. Furthermore, the development of thetesting platform provides educational
