Women constitute approximately 17% of the bachelor graduates in engineering and a disproportionate number of these take jobs after graduating rather than pursuing graduate degrees. The Nation cannot afford the continued loss of talented human resources in engineering if it is to be highly competitive internationally. Integrating academic and experiential learning is deemed to be a viable approach to increasing the number of women graduates. Working women constitute a large pool of candidates and this papers focuses on ways and means for attracting and retaining them for degrees.","PeriodicalId":288591,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference - FIE '94","volume":"131 8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124248579","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}

Traditionally, this course has engaged students in rediscovering what they already should have learned in their lecture course. The authors have made the experience into one of circuit design evaluation, where the students are asked to explore the differences between practical realities and theoretical possibilities by evaluating the performance of their own designs. They outline some of their exercises to clarify the distinction they are making from the traditional approach, and present evidence of student interest.","PeriodicalId":288591,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference - FIE '94","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134479558","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}

This paper describes how a small scale railgun is being used to change this student perception in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the United States Military Academy. The railgun is a simple, but elegant, device ideal for a student design project. The student must combine electrical and mechanical engineering science into a single design and analysis project; in the process, the student learns that electrical and mechanical engineering are closely related-and in fact inseparable. The railgun system provides several attractive features as a teaching vehicle. The essential concepts are taught in introductory physics. The student must develop a mathematical system model (three first order, variable coefficient differential equations) and computer simulation to predict system behavior. The wise student makes first order engineering estimates to bound component values before trying to simulate the system. Using the simulation, the student selects an appropriate system design. The circuit is easily and inexpensively built and tested. Finally, a properly designed railgun dramatically grabs the observer's attention when fired.","PeriodicalId":288591,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference - FIE '94","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133190987","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}

Now in its 4th year, nearly half of the high schools in the state participate at some level, and a number of these have incorporated the contest into their physics curriculum. The contest is called Design TASC (Technology and Science Connection) since engineering design couples science and technology. Key features of this competition include the following: (1) a design problem which may be solved inexpensively with readily available materials and which is relevant to the first-semester of the high school physics course; (2) an associated portfolio competition which teaches participants how to document the engineering design process; (3) the involvement of both practicing engineers and undergraduate engineering majors as reviewers and judges. The contest gives participants some design experience they might not otherwise get in high school, and it encourages students to learn more about engineering.","PeriodicalId":288591,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference - FIE '94","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132582479","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}

Publications show how some classes of power systems and electromagnetic problems are solved using artificial neural networks. Some students at the American University of Beirut, willing to further their careers along academic lines or in research and development, are encouraged to take special projects to investigate and laydown the foundation for more serious research. Two such developments are reported in this paper. The first is a neural network-based automatic mesh generation method capable of developing meshes that preserve major properties such as Delauney triangulation and Dirichlet tessellation. In the second application, we demonstrated the possibility of creating a single artificial neural network to estimate the critical clearing time of faults in a realistic power system with differing load levels, fault locations, and network topologies.","PeriodicalId":288591,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference - FIE '94","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116897431","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}

A variation of that concept has been developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (USA) to put \"electronics up front\". The new course is a one-credit electronics laboratory intended to motivate freshmen for further study of engineering in general and to spur interest in electrical and computer engineering in particular. Unlike most engineering courses, the primary role of this lab elective is not to impart cognitive knowledge. Instead, its major thrust is in the affective domain. The course gives students first-hand experience with electronic circuits chosen to demonstrate that engineering work is relevant, rewarding, and even fun! Initial student reaction indicates that the course has, indeed, stimulated their curiosity about electronics and increased their interest in engineering.","PeriodicalId":288591,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference - FIE '94","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116160138","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}
