The use of Smart Grid can be very valuable to mitigate andlessen the impacts of an energy emergency.Finally, the Engineering Clinic program has been found to significantly impact studentpreparation for professional practice and for matriculation into graduate programs. For example,that a high percentage of Rowan’s engineering students pursue graduate degrees is evidence ofhow Clinic projects awaken interest in research and help lower the perceived barrier betweenundergraduate and graduate work1.AcknowledgementsThe support of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities is gratefully acknowledged as well as

Theauthor’s answer, based on her experiences from the last eight years of teaching at Elizabethtown College,has to do with the concept of the computing project and the way how these projects are created. 2Obviously, university students develop a taste for research, not only in practice-oriented issues, but also intheoretical concepts related to the respective project area. Their projects are comprehensive and thecomplexity involved is high. Usually, the number of projects is reduced to one per course and someinstructors do not even assign such projects in computing disciplines. The project results are due at theend of the

It has been admitting 20-24 students each year and has an 85 percentretention rate for all four years. The honors program attributes its success to a number ofspecific high impact practices including; 1. Assigning a honors faculty advisor; 2. A honorsstudent association responsible for social and academic activities; 3. Maintaining cohesion byplacing each cohort into nine honors courses in the first three years; 4. Providing honorseminar classes; and 5. Requiring two honors directed research projects. Together thesepractices provide students help in their acclimation and later
