servedby distribution transformers is worth analyzing as the increased load can pose maintenance andfailure concerns to transformers [19]. A study performed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) found that theintroduction of an EV load to a distribution transformer increased the failure rate by 0.02% peryear [24]. Reasonably exceeding standard operation ratings have not been found to increase thelikelihood of sudden transformer failures significantly. However, research indicates that increasedload does impact the operation lifespan. A study [25] analyzed how the number of EVs at differentcharging levels affected the aging of a transformer. The results of this study are shown in Table 4.Results indicate that multiple EVs under
motivated the integration ofSTS in the discourse of engineering education was a combination of external developments (suchas globalization and high profile technological disasters such as the Challenger explosion andThree-Mile Island) and a growing recognition within higher education, including engineeringeducation, of the inadequacy of traditional disciplinary structures for providing usefulapproaches to real world problems. The ethical dimensions of engineering work are rarely visibleat the level of individual projects or in the decontextualized environments of engineeringclassrooms and laboratories. As Martin and Schinzinger expressed it in their discussion ofengineering as social experimentation, “Showing moral concern involves a commitment

Lastly, it was found that students transitionedfrom a performance goal orientation to more of a mastery approach towards problem solvingthrough their involvement in the REU, which indicated that the students were self-identifying asscience professionals.Based on our analysis of the literature, we suggest that most research related to typicalundergraduate research experiences are either discipline specific, or focus on select sub-disciplines (i.e., only the physical sciences, or only the life sciences, etc.). Rarely is therecollaboration between students and faculty conducting research in the humanities, engineering,mathematics, the sciences, and the social sciences. Although the financial and

society. Why will a Practitioner find utility in this approach? Most of the engineering education practitioners use natural sciences and deductivemethods both in their research as well as in their teaching meaning that they need toobserve and present their findings in a logical and bias-free context5, 61, 14. This applies toboth the classroom as well as the laboratory. There is very little, or no space at all, forresearcher-based personal, inductive or intuitive interpretation 36, 61.

Founded on the above learning concepts,the proposed framework aids learning geospatial applications in domains like environmentalmodelling, land use planning ( Chandramouli, Huang, and Xue, 2009, Chandramouli & Huang,2012

making written communication skills part of the grading process in several laboratories. This was implemented and the results were tracked via the employer evaluations of the outcome over time. The result is shown in Figure 1. The figure shows that the employer evaluations of the student preparedness in written communications increased for several years and then leveled off. As a result, it was determined that more could be done by adding more opportunities for evaluation and feedback on student written work. Toward that end, writing was integrated into the mechanical design

The students met in a small classroom (20 student capacity) located in thecivil engineering teaching laboratory once per week for one hour and twenty minutes. Theclassroom was equipped with four large tables capable of seating up to five students, fourcomputers, a projector, and a 3D printer. Each computer was equipped with Microsoft Office®AutoCad®, STAADPro® and PASCO®. The students were provided with weekly lecturematerial via PowerPoint presentations and embedded video tutorials. All lecture material andproject descriptions were made available to the students four to five days prior to the lecture.The
