He had been employed by large vendors of automation products, small systemintegrators, and production facilities, as well as doing contract work for his firm DPAS. From thatexperience, Pat assembled a curriculum to introduce a comprehensive set of topics intended toshow students the breadth of automation. As many students have interest in a career thatmatriculates to leadership, a final day of soft skill topics such as project management are included.The goal is not to develop mastery of the subject matter, but to introduce and provide initial hands-on experiences of

IntroductionThe world faces concurrent energy and pollution crises. Rapid population growth and an increasein the living standard in many emerging countries have led to a greater demand for fossil fuels.Over the next 25 years, the societal requirement for energy is forecasted to increase by 36% withthe bulk attributed to developing countries1. The demand for energy will eventually outpace theability to supply energy from traditional resources. Most industry experts believe that an energycrisis is likely for

Differences among the institutions were notstatistically significant (likely due to the wide variation among the respondents from eachinstitution). There was a moderate correlation among the percentage of the institutionalrespondents who took the curricular survey and the median number of ESI topics taught at theinstitution (correlation coefficient 0.42).

Second, students can examine any part of the simulationdirectly by looking in spreadsheet cells and reading the single page of macro definitions.Nothing is hidden in object code or an unfamiliar language. The package can also beused with a computer architecture course, giving students a low-cost way to build andtest their own simple processor designs.

At the University ofKentucky, vibration basics are included in a required systems modeling course,and some of the concepts are also applied in a required controls course. There isan additional course which is specific to the study of vibrations, ME-513:“Mechanical Vibrations”, which can be taken as an elective by upper levelundergraduates, or for graduate credit. It has been taught at the University ofKentucky Extended Campus Program(1) every fall semester since Fall, 2001, as anundergraduate-only elective.It seems that vibrations, in particular, is a topic that requires some hands-onlaboratory

Examples of service-learning in thefreshmen and junior/senior years of an engineering program can be found with a search throughthe National Service-Learning Clearinghouse.1 However, there are few project-specific service-learning opportunities for sophomore-level foundational engineering courses. This paper seeksto fill this gap by providing a description of a service-learning project developed specifically fora statics and dynamics class.

high need for assessment in change projects is often paired with a low prevalenceof formal assessment activity (Beach et al., 2016). To avoid this, a structured approach toassessment should be used from the very beginning, and conducted as an integral component ofthe entire project. During planning, assessment of “readiness for change” is critical (Reeves,2009; Lehman, Greener, and Simpson, 2002; Combe, 2014; Lynch & Smith, 2016). Movingthrough the project, assessment plans should be mindful of Banta et al.’s (1996) principle ofassessment stating that “Assessment requires attention to outcomes, but also and equally to theexperiences that lead to those outcomes”. To do this, Hall (2013) argues that direct assessment ofthe extent of
