During the course, exercises and teamprojects were assigned to design renewable and traditional energy conversion systems. Thispaper describes the assignments and projects used in the course to enhance the design experienceof the students. Detailed descriptions of each design project and the student design solution weregiven.Introduction Energy affects the lives of everyone in so many ways, economically, technically, andenvironmentally. Thus, integration of energy and its many aspects such as energy conservationtechnologies and environmental impacts of energy generation, in the educational curriculum ofscience, technology, and engineering

from the prevalent practice of teach-ing engineering in an apprentice mode by practicing engineers with students taking no formalcourses in mathematics and sciences. We see that since inception of formal engineering educa-tion, the engineering education community has struggled with the delineation of science, engi-neering, and vocational-technical education.As elaborated in sections 3 and 5, the evolutionary forces in engineering education is towardgreater generalization in basic engineering courses as it permits teaching of a greater amount ofknowledge in a compact form. Without such generalization the problems of already overburdenedengineering curriculum and the growing graduation time would become a lot worse. The abstrac-tion that occurs

Also, candidates may prefer explaining problems with a pencil on thepaper or on a computer using an integrated development environment. Next, they suggested usingproblems actually encountered at the company, since many puzzles are not reflective of real-worldsituations. Such tasks are seen as giving an unfair advantage to candidates just out of school.Finally, they propose problem solving “as colleagues, not as examiners” a recommendation whichhighlights that rather than an intense interrogation the process should be balanced, and shouldinvolve working together to solve issues, and that this could even be accomplished with other“potential teammates.”In addition to the two

considered important forstudent retention.There were four primary objectives for each student to reach during the course. (1) Understandwhat industrial and manufacturing engineers do. (2) Experience how industrial or manufacturingengineers learn. (3) Appreciate why industrial and manufacturing engineers lean systems. (4)Practice self-directed learning. These objectives were conceived to lead each student into theknowledge and engage each student in the activity of either the industrial engineering curriculumor the manufacturing engineering curriculum, as the two options available in the Department.

Every study on theacademic preparation of under-represented minorities in New Mexico, over the past 20 years,independent or otherwise and regardless of what variables are used (i.e. dropout, GPA, ranking,ACT scores, number of students taking honor courses, number taking advanced placement tests,etc…), indicates that a big disparity in academic preparation for these students versus others doesexist.Let us emphasize that this analysis provides information on academic

The word “sustainable” is being used frequently in the contextof manufacturing nowadays. The popularity of this word has a lot to do with the fact thatall over the world there is now a realization that activities of one generation can adverselyaffect the earth and what is left of this earth for future generations. Hence, whether“sustainable” is a buzzword is debatable; it appears to convey a new idea that was notconsidered important only a few years back.
