By using a hands-on method of instruction, as opposed to one solely based on theory, students are able to grasp information contained within a subject in an easier manner and retain it at a greater rate. Through the application of this premise it is possible to bridge the gap between educational theory and industrial application. The purpose of this research is to develop an applied method of instruction of both Feedback Control Systems and Mechatronics to undergraduate Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering students at the University of Central Florida (UCF). This will in-turn yield an enhanced union between the classroom and real world application.

This paper reports proposed efforts to develop a program focused on Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (HFCT) in Engineering Technology Department (ENT) jointly with the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) at University of Central Florida (UCF). The HFCT Program intends to support the need for educated graduates that comprise the next generation workforce needed for research, development, and demonstration activities in government, industry, and academia. The proposed project will include the development and delivery of undergraduate courses at Engineering Technology Department and FSEC within the ABET accredited Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET) program. The mode of course offering will be both in class and on line, which will increase the number of students. The proposed project facilitates are located at College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) and at FSEC of UCF. The Florida Solar Energy Center is a unique component of the proposed effort. FSEC has been conducting hydrogen and fuel cell research for 25 years and FSEC has dedicated facilities and a selection of unique laboratory equipment that will be made available to the students for this project. These attributes will allow the students to be trained on the state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. Both ENT and FSEC faculties will participate in the teaching and training of the prospective students.

AbstractThis paper presents information concerning a specific undergraduate honors course on the interdisciplinary topic of time. True to the cross-cutting nature of time, the course was both led by and primarily taught by two professors from the distinctly different disciplines of information systems and psychology, respectively. It was offered as a special topic honors course in the Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida whose rubric ensured that enrollment was limited to a maximum of twenty undergraduate, honors students only. Additionally, selected auditors were allowed to attend specific, special events. The ceiling on enrollment proved critical since it allowed for a broad, discussion-based exploration of time, led on a number of occasions by specialist guest lecturers drawn from the arts, the sciences, and other speakers from well beyond the traditional confines of academe. There was a high demand for, and an excellent reception of, the course as offered. Due to the external constraints of the two professors involved, it proved to be a unique offering. However, the following description is provided for use by other teachers and professors who might wish to peruse and adopt the basic structure and/or some of the content that was collected and created.

This article examines the corporatization of collegiate media in the United States. Gannett Company, Inc.’s purchase of two university publications, the FSView & Florida Flambeau ( FSView) at Florida State University and the Central Florida Future at the University of Central Florida, have raised concerns regarding the autonomy of the campus press. This article first defines the functions and structures of the campus press and how each contribute to the normative goals and democratic potential of collegiate student newspapers. The article goes on to argue that a corporate ownership structure, despite the alluring rhetoric espoused by corporate media, meets the needs of advertisers and shareholders, not the communities the campus press should serve. Gannett’s purchase of the FSView is examined in depth because it provides a revealing case study of the underlying interests that corporations such as Gannett have in collegiate media.
