Educational Trends in Hispanic SocietyDuring the 1998-2008 period, employment in Science and Engineering (S&E) occupations isexpected to increase at almost four times the rate. Within engineering, electrical engineering isprojected to have the biggest absolute and relative employment gains up by 26%. Civil andmechanical engineers are also expected to experience above average employment gains, withprojected increases of about 21% and 16%, respectively

Increased chances of obtaining both more advanced hardware and softwarethrough institutional and outside national resources seemed to serve as another incentive. Last,but certainly not the least was the influence of ABET Criteria 2000.

that in order to enhance students’ learningon power electronics subjects, the best way is to let them apply the knowledge they learn in lecturesin actual design and see to it that their designs actual work. Our teaching philosophy is to teachstudents to design power electronics circuit based on circuit theories first. Then they simulate andimprove their designs using commercial simulation software like PSPICE or SABER. After that,they build prototype(s) in the laboratory, and finally they test their design and prove that all designcriteria are met. The design of our power electronics laboratory follows the proposed philosophyclosely.Characteristics Curve of Switching Devices Since all power electronics circuits or systems consist of

The data was stored as an ASCII file on aMacintosh Powerbook portable computer. The initial start time of an egg drop was difficult to record.However, for a given data run, data acquisition was begun just prior to launch. Then, the launcher cord,which was attached to a small sliding trap door, was pulled abruptly in order to launch the egg and createa force spike which might be used in the data analysis as an initial time marker.ANALYSIS The data collected in the experiment allowed the

[4] As he interviewed a group of students at the end of each academic year, probing theirviews of their university experiences, he observed patterns of thinking that were hierarchical andchronological. These patterns described an intellectual development path that all studentsseemed to follow and that Perry translated into a nine-stage model of development that hevalidated by a second, more extensive, longitudinal study.The model, a portion of which is summarized in Table 1, describes the stages students passthrough as they mature in their understanding of the nature of knowledge, use of evidence, andopen-ended problem solving.

For instance, Dym (1994) encourages “interactive dialog” between the instructor(s)and students so that students learn that a seemingly simple statement such as “a safe ladder”involves not only clarifying objectives, but interacting with individuals who hold variousviewpoints, and developing design specifications that can be calculated. Similarly, Dally andZhang (1993) emphasize that the teaching and learning process involves two-waycommunication between the student and faculty member. They describe the role of the facultymember as consultant and coach, providing assistance and encouragement. At times
