Currently the major source for electric energy is the burning of fossil fuels; thus, it is a problem because of two reasons: it increases the emission of harmful gases to our atmosphere and it is an energy source that will not last forever. In our present time the amount of energy produced by a single renewable source is considerably smaller that the amount produced by the burning of fossil fuels. Therefore, it is necessary to develop energy systems that will use various type of renewable energy in parallel, all contributing to a large complex system. It is the purpose of this paper to attract undergraduate students to the area of renewable energy by bringing them with a research experience. The student had the experience to study three alternative sources: photovoltaic systems, fuel cells, and thermoelectric generators. The student had the opportunity to use electrical models describing the performance of each renewable source. The mathematical models were developed by the mentor in different software like Matlab, Saber, P-Spice, and Simulink. Circuit analysis, simulations and experiments are presented in the paper.","PeriodicalId":129330,"journal":{"name":"2009 39th IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123035730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, the designers and users of IT in these organizations need to have adequate education in the cyber security threats and be ready to take the appropriate actions necessary for protecting their IT assets. The growing awareness has resulted in a significant demand for information systems security and risk analysis education. Proper training in security and risk analysis can be very helpful in confronting cyber security threats and protecting vital information. Problem solvers with appropriate skills and relevant experience are needed in the security and risk analysis domain. The Penn State University Altoona College realizes that it is very important for its BSEMET degree students to be knowledgeable about information systems security and risk analysis since engineers are now expected to have at least a basic understanding of current threats and how these threats affect product development, personal safety, employee productivity, and organizational expenses. The main focus of this manuscript, is a perspective on how Penn State University-Altoona College is taking steps to integrate the security and risk analysis concepts from the SRA degree program into its four-year electromechanical engineering technology program.","PeriodicalId":129330,"journal":{"name":"2009 39th IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114454723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on long-term averages, the S-, T-, J-, SJ-, ESTJ- and ISTJ- preferring individuals appear to have some positive correlation with success in our mechanical engineering program. For example, individuals preferring “sensation” over “intuition”, “thinking” over “feeling”, and “judging over “perceiving”, (Myers-Briggs Preferences, S over N, T over F, and J over P, respectively) are about 50% more likely to graduate as those who prefer the opposite. A seven-year longitudinal study produced “entering” and “graduating” Myers-Briggs data for 118 students. A detailed analysis of this data determined that there was about a ten per cent net increase in individual E-, S-, T- and J-preferences which was the result of about a 15% actual change toward E-, S-, T-, and J-preferences and a 5% actual change toward I-, N-, F-, and P-preferences. Finally, the shift of the distribution of Myers-Briggs Type Indicators from the entering to the graduating students is seen to be moving toward the distribution exhibited by the faculty.","PeriodicalId":129330,"journal":{"name":"2009 39th IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122108307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Six design dimensions were studied including aesthetics, clarity, excitement, organization, simplicity and structure. Using content analysis methodology, a total of 215 descriptions of the design dimensions were evaluated and 37 design attributes were identified from the descriptions. The results of the study provide a comprehensive list of the attributes associated with each design dimension and the relative level of importance between the design dimensions. The results showed that Clarity is the most important dimension while excitement is apparently the least important of all. Further, the characteristics of ¿text¿ and how it is used in a Web module appear to be a design attribute that influences all the design dimensions under study. The results suggest that even though attractiveness might not be considered one of the important dimensions based on the rankings, as modules are made ¿Attractive¿ following the results of design attributes in this study, then desirable qualities of the other design dimensions are achieved.","PeriodicalId":129330,"journal":{"name":"2009 39th IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"722 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116829321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
