The students assembled and tested electronicscircuits; designed, made, and tested a small mechanical part; and programmed robots and operated anautomated manufacturing system. The course was taught by six faculty and used six different laboratories. The course provided the students with an engineer’s view of engineering problem solving. Itincluded the engineering approach to the design of products and processes, engineering heuristics, anddiscussions of engineering ethics. The course included structured, engaging laboratory sessions, and thisexperiential learning aspect of the course was particularly well received by the students

Problematically, multiple recent studieshave shown that over their time in college, students tend to become more disengaged from theimpact of their work and their feelings of social responsibility decrease.

A major weakness of the blended model is the capacity of students for self-directedlearning and so we have identified a need for the course to address metacognitive outcomes – inessence, the course needs to provide support to help students “learn how to learn”. Some studentsstated that they could not learn using online content and “needed to be taught,” as if this is aninherent fact rather than a skill that can be developed. In particular, sections who traditionallystruggle with this course did not find the online content effective for learning and were lesssatisfied with the blended model.

This approach is in place at the UnitedStates Military Academy (USMA) where the three-semester capstone model begins with a coursethat does not include an official senior capstone project.23 Instead, the course emphasizes the“soft” sciences, including “design process, methodology, project management, communications,economics and ethics.”23 Students are introduced to the engineering design process andmethodology, and they apply this knowledge to their junior projects before being immersed

It guides students to explore various energy sources,conversion technologies, and highlights economic, environmental, sustainability, ethical, healthand safety, social, and political issues in energy use.IntroductionMany electrical engineering (EE) programs traditionally include an energy conversion course inthe program requirements for the undergraduate degree.
