At Baylor University, an “energy core” of technical electives isbeing developed, including courses on wind energy, solar energy, power systems, turbines andcombustion engines. This paper documents the authors’ observations on the use of the TRNSYSsimulation software package in a senior/graduate elective on solar energy. The paper givesexamples of the types of projects students do using TRNSYS, how it can be used in theclassroom, and some suggestions for educators considering its use in future courses.Comparisons are made between projects completed using general-purpose numerical

Compounding thissituation is the already inadequate funding for addressing the rebuilding of the nation’s aginginfrastructure.With the thrust to give more consideration to the social impact of engineering works and theimportance of inculcating these aspects into engineering education, this paper articulates apossible case study that could incorporate economy principles and a national fiscal problem intothe engineering curriculum in either an economics course or a senior capstone or ethics course.Using a subject from current events can demonstrate to students how engineering economicprinciples can be used to assess public policy alternatives.

Theworkshops which build upon one another, (1) help graduate students become aware of issues andproblems in research ethics, (2) outline a method of moral deliberation to help them analyzeproblematic situations, (3) provide students with tools and practice in analyzing real world ethicscases in the research context, and (4) offer a capstone activity in which the students give posterpresentations on a case connected to their research interests.This paper focuses on the third of the series

All seniorengineering students are required to take a two semester (two credit hours each semester with four credit hoursof design) capstone course. In the first semester the students define and research an engineering ormanufacturing related problem, develop and evaluate solutions and present their chosen designs. The secondsemester focuses on implementation of solutions and assessment of project outcomes. These senior designprojects are often coordinated with industry or conducted within the university laboratories. The Manufacturing Engineering

provided framework. This approach requires the student to approach the designfirst with an inquisitorial attitude, searching to understand the framework that has been set up forthem. Once this understanding is complete (or sufficient), the student and his or her teammatesare able to embark upon the completion of the design requirements. It is hoped that this technique achieves multiple benefits. First, the techniques will allowthe students to see the framework of a successful design before beginning their ownimplementation. This helps visualize a successful design as a team before they are thrown intothe throes of their senior capstone design project. Second, the techniques remove some of thetedious work that should be covered in

All these approaches emphasize a “learner-centered approach” and amove from a “content-based” to a more “context-based” education4.In addition to sharpening student’s laboratory skills, most undergraduate lab-based courses areused to promote some type of hands-on learning.

We also found motivation from the study of Elton et al.2 who sought to demonstrate“some interesting and mysterious, but explainable experiments” to a K-12 audience. The keymotivator here was the term “explainable,” we really did not want anything to come across asrandom or inexplicable. The overall structure of our research project, and its credence as asenior capstone project focused on research questions that were similar to Moskal et al.3, namely“how are children impacted by an outreach program”?, and “how are the college students andfaculty impacted by the outreach program”?.
