Postdoctoral Fellow. Dr. Svihla studies learning in authentic, real world conditions; this includes a two- strand research program focused on (1) authentic assessment, often aided by interactive technology, and (2) design learning, in which she studies engineers designing devices, scientists designing investigations, teachers designing learning experiences and students designing to learn.Dr. Jamie R. Gomez, University of New Mexico Jamie Gomez, Ph.D., is a Lecturer Title III in the department of Chemical & Biological Engineering (CBE) at the University of New Mexico.

The design requires consideration of all possible energy sources and energy conversionalternatives in the development of a hybrid system. Available energy sources may include wind,solar, small head or river hydro, thermoelectric generators, microturbine technology, andthermoelectric systems, battery and other energy storage devices combined with the existingdiesel/electric or gasoline/electric generators. The selection of energy sources for this applicationdepends not only on the power requirements and location, but also on environmental, economic

The collaboration could be in person where teams are located in thesame site but formed by culturally diverse members or the collaboration can take place remotelywhere teams are geographically dispersed and use technology for communication andinteraction. In both scenarios, members of the team must be prepared to work with culturallydifferent peers; however, geographically dispersed teams have additional challenges to functioneffectively.

The paper demonstrates how an existing curricular element canbe reviewed and modified within the context of program objectives and outcomes. It alsoexplains how the ABET outcome based process has enhanced the MET program throughjust this course.

ofengineering in the campus community.Many educational institutions, both formal and informal, have implemented some type of robotickits to support science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. The greatpopularity of these kits (like LEGO NXT/EV3) stems from their affordability and flexibility.However, many students feel overexposed to these products since they used them in high schoolsor even middle schools. Also, NXT Mindstorms kits are often incapable of performing morecomplex robotic tasks and they don’t look like humans. Thus, in our institution, students’exposure to humanoid robots is investigated as a means to increase student retention throughextrinsic motivation.
