Session 2368 Why Do We Lecture? Marilyn Barger, Renata Engel, Richard Gilbert, Mark Maughmer Hillsborough Community College/ Penn State/ University of South Florida/ Penn StateAbstractGiven the opportunities offered by present-day technology, there is a great deal ofemphasis, if not pressure, on engineering faculty to make use of computers, the web, andtechnology classrooms in the educational process. In this environment, the role of thetraditional lecture is often brought into question. While it is agreed that “technology inthe classroom” is here to stay and even has an

There are many levels of deployment to the Smart Grid and at thistime no single definitive architecture. In theory, a Smart Grid is really a service platform that willhelp to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This service platform willdrive optimization, improve utilization and efficiencies, and enhance the reliability of thenation’s transmission and distribution infrastructure. Furthermore, it will allow for theinterfacing of green, cleantech, and storage (i.e. various

This metric cannot be used in the time frame of less than one year but the current retentionrate of the class is showing signs of improvement from previous years. This curriculum, just as thefields of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will be ever changing as technology becomescheaper and more advanced. With the feedback that is received it is easier for us to maintain thecurriculum and keep the students on the cutting edge.References1. A.

availability of people with these skills is making it difficult for U. S, industries to compete in the international market. To function effectively in today’s technological society, contribute to its growth, reap its benefits, and minimize its hazards, knowledge of the technology is essential. This is true whether one is pursuing a career in business, economics, law, education, health care, mathematical, physical or social sciences, humanities or the arts. Academic institutions, particularly engineering schools, have the primary responsibility for producing new graduates in sufficient numbers and with adequate knowledge of science and technology and skill to meet the needs of the industry and the society.
