Compared to top enrollment majors, BIOE’sfeel they are struggling more with their courses and have less faculty support. BIOE females feelthey have a greater understanding and ethical responsibility, and confidence in their choice ofmajor compared to top enrollment females. Due to the consistency of these results a predictivemodel of choice of long-term engineering goal was created. Students who score highly onknowing an engineer as a reason for selecting a major, wanting a good potential salary, designingand building things, and their perceptions of the present were likely to be traditional engineers.Students

OutcomesUpon the completion of this project, students certainly gained some knowledge related to circuitdesign and collaborated with each other working toward a common goal. In addition, it can beclaimed that the project activity supports the following students outcomes set by ABET: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability; (d) an ability to function on

Working with the marginalized and the poor does not imply charity. Rather, a true partnership with the community that is being served must be forged through a model where the community is involved in decision-making and management of projects.

Students learned about various aspects of renewable energy including problemidentification, technical, social and environmental constraints, multidisciplinary teammanagement, communications and documentation skills. These projects also provided thestudents with an opportunity to view their designs from an ethical and sustainability awarenessperspective, thus realizing a lifelong learning opportunity. Through practice, the students realizedthat the key success to a design project is team work, industry interaction, and collaborations.Two renewable energy-related courses were developed and are being offered in the department.One of the courses is a

The topics were traditional in content with EF1015’s comprising ethics, the engineering profession, problem solving, programming withMatLab, statics; material balance; electricity; and energy. The EF1016 topics were alsotraditional with design theory, graphics theory, freehand sketching, computer
