Students have a clearunderstanding of the courses they need to complete at PIT and courses they can complete inaddition to their associates degree that will help them advance to junior level upon transferringto the University. If the students come to Drexel University as full-time students, they can alsotake advantage of one six-month co-op cycle before graduation. This partnership format does notrequire additional resources, since students are coming to Drexel and using the already existingstate-of-the-art laboratories. In addition, the AET faculty

Such work helps avoid the creation of“inert knowledge” that has little chance of being used when real needs arise1. An engineeringdesign task can serve in this mission as a “goal-directed problem-solving activity”2, and involvesoptimizing parameters3 and balancing trade-offs4 to meet targeted users’ needs 5. Designactivities are aligned with a wide range of educational reform efforts in science, math, andtechnology education in that they involve (a) doing practical work, (b) making connectionsamong disciplines, and (c) pursuing ways of knowing the world and how it works.

judged to be inappropriate. The laboratory experience required a low-voltage replica ofcommercial three-phase power: sinusoids with 120° phase separation. The faculty design teamwas unable to find such a source commercially at low cost and designed, built, and tested severaldifferent sources. In addition to a transformer solution, two electronic circuits were implementedin the initial trials of the laboratory exercises: (a) digital synthesis using synchronized counters,D/A conversion, and wave shaping, and (b) digital synthesis using EPROMS and D/Aconversion. Each of these three-phase synthesizers was developed with an estimated parts costof less than US$10 (assuming appropriate DC power availability).The design and implementation of the sources

In short, critical reasoning or creative problem solving is what effectiveengineer-leaders do.
