demand. The most salient feature of PCM rests in the multiple curricular configurations that result from the use of four interrelated and parallel designs for organizing curriculum: Core, Practice, Connections, and Identity. The four parallels offer opportunities to optimize student learning through the creation of a curriculum that is more meaningful, powerful, and engaging in the education of confident and competent engineering professionals. Projects presented at past ASEE conferences are innovative because they address specific parallels, thus fleshing out a student’s overall education. The PCM not only offers a way to see education as a whole, so as to identify the gaps, but also a way to

While the humanities offercourses that mandate expository, argumentative, and analytical writing, engineering studentsoften overlook similar reasoning styles between engineering and the humanities due to the starkdifference in content discussed. Additionally, technical writing within engineering, whichincludes published research, reports, presentations, among other knowledge products, isproduced and organized according to differing conventions than those followed in thehumanities.

One possible solution to theproblem, a multi-year design/build/test project, is currently being studied by the authors. Theproject, a bench-scale hybrid powertrain, is completed by our students over the course of fivesemesters. The focus of this paper is the set of electronic circuitry needed to sense and controlthe powertrain. This is the latest installment in a series of papers discussing the project; see [2-6]for a fuller description.The “prime mover” in the benchtop hybrid is a small engine powered by compressed air, whichis designed and fabricated

From that information, I found the following to be most useful whenteaching the large class: • Detailed syllabus: The entire course was laid out on the syllabus, including daily lectures, dates of exams, and project due dates. This is clearly the benefit of having taught the course numerous times. It helped alleviate problems with absences before they were to occur (i.e., student travel for job interviews). • Homework: Homework was assigned weekly.
