Six new faculty had been hiredduring the previous year to begin the initial preparations to launch the two new programs. Five inME and one in CE [1]. The remainder would be hired in the subsequent year as the CE programwas staggered to start one year after the ME. After the inaugural

Power electronics has become increasingly important nowadayswhere billions of kilo-watts of electric power are being re-processed every day to provide thekind of power needed by loads3. At Cal Poly, the growth in power electronics industry has beenobserved by the increasing number of power electronics companies who came and visited on-campus career fair. This was further accentuated by the growing interest among our electricalengineering students in power electronics. Since 1999, the power electronics courses at Cal

Among four mentor types (traditional mentor, step-ahead mentor, co-mentor, spouse mentor),10 our relationship was strengthened by the co-mentor aspect. Our academic experiences (2 to 34 years) and ranks (assistant to fullprofessor) provided traditional mentor and step-ahead mentor. Traditional mentor is“similar to a wise and capable elder” and our library director served in that capacity.Step-ahead mentor is “analogous to a protective older sibling who smoothes the path forthe protégé.” Our group consisted of full-, associate-, and assistant professors, whorepresented hierarchical layers of academic careers, and were natural step-ahead mentors.However, being an all

A typical design team is made up with three to five students and is multidisciplinaryin nature. These teams are assembled either by project choice where a member is assigned to aproject, or by group choice where a project is chosen by an existing self-forming group.

Senior design (also called “capstone”) coursesserve a crucial role in helping to prepare bioengineering students for many career options. Thesecourses also serve to directly address several ABET criteria for engineering programs such asgeneral Criterion 5d: “a culminating major engineering design experience”.
