She is also re- sponsible for developing a process and assessing graduate attributes at the department to target areas for improvement in the curriculum. This resulted in several publications in this educational research areas. Dr. Al-Hammoud won the ”Ameet and Meena Chakma award for exceptional teaching by a student” in 2014 and the ”Engineering Society Teaching Award” in 2016 and the ”Outstanding Performance Award” in 2018 from University of Waterloo. Her students regard her as an innovative teacher who continuously
of their produced designs areusually evaluated to access the level of students’ attainment of the program educationaloutcomes. However, in technology-sensitive areas such as digital design, embedded processingand system-level engineering, software design packages are continually updated or replaced bymore powerful, more efficient, and more complex design packages. Similarly, hardwareplatforms such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are continually improving in terms oftheir functionalities, and capabilities. Therefore, in our view, capstone design projects should notonly be open-ended and realistic, but should also prepare student to work in rapidly-changingprofessional environment.The ever-increasing complexity of digital systems

Inaddition to the hybridization project, we are exploring projects from solar collectors to fuel cells.There is an effort within the Coast Guard to reduce our use of non-renewable resources both onland and sea. We are also looking at developing opportunities for our students to have a greaterexperience with hybrid technologies that they may encounter in commercial shipping. ThisDOD System Engineering grant focuses on “portable

This will allow community colleges to borrow, rent, or lease ratherthan own the equipment. These laboratories are suitable for use in either introduction toengineering or technological literacy courses. The laboratories attempt to utilize insights fromnon-engineering students to determine themes that may enliven introduction to engineeringcourses. Beginning engineering students may have interests more closely aligned with their non-engineer peers than current engineering professionals. Technological literacy courses on anumber of campuses have found that non-engineers

This effect is particularly needed among historically under-represented populations inengineering.IntroductionIn the current engineering environment we are faced with several distinct problems with respectto the future development of our workforce. One is that students graduating from our K-12school system, although excellent in recall of fact, are not technologically literate in the broadestsense of the term1.
