The purpose of this study was to investigate the compliance of electrical engineering ethics codes among students of electrical faculty of Tabriz University and its related factors. In this descriptive-analytic cross-sectional study, 120 students of electrical engineering with a history of activity were selected purposefully. Data were collected by a researcher-made questionnaire. The content validity index was calculated based on the Bausell& Waltz scale for the total tool of 83.21 and the Cronbach's alpha was 0.76. The questionnaire contains 40 items in three dimensions: individual, technical and professional, and social. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 20 and comprehensive descriptive information of participants was used for inferential information using T, Friedman, analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test. The findings of the research show that the rate of students' compliance with the ethical codes of engineering in all three areas was higher than the average of society and the rankings of these subscales were respectively social ethics, individual morality and technical ethics. Gender variables, job experience and level of familiarity with ethical codes did not show significant differences with respect to ethics codes of electrical engineering. But the level of education varied significantly with ethical codes. By adopting approaches such as designing and codifying the ethical code of electrical engineering and incorporating it into the professional ethics of engineering, teachig and internalization of these ethical codes, the degree of observance of these codes among the students of electrical engineering can be increased.

Today, one of the common learning problems among undergraduate students is their passive role in the traditional method of lecturing. However, they welcome their participation in the learning activities as a supplementary method. Flipped classroom is one of the student-centered approaches that has been introduced recently. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of flipped classroom on the level of learning and satisfaction with the teaching methods in electrical engineering students of the Islamic Azad University. This paper was a semi-experimental study and the study participants included 40 electrical Engineering students. The study participants were recruited through the convenient method of sampling and randomly divided into two experiment (i.e. flipped classroom’s students) and control (i.e. traditional classroom’s students) groups. The data were gathered through the mid-term and final tests to evaluate their learning level along with a self-administered questionnaire to determine their satisfaction with the method of teaching. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software. The findings revealed that there was no significant difference between the mid-term mean scores belonging to the experiment and control groups. There was, however, a significant difference between the final mean scores of both the experimental and control groups. In addition, the students’ satisfaction score was higher in the experiment group compared with the control group.

Abstract- Power line communications (PLC) technology utilizes the power grid infrastructure and its wiring as a communications channels for information transmission and reception. No need to install of new structure and wiring together with the wide spread availability and easy accessibility of power grids are the main reasons for appearance and development of this technology over the years. Nowadays, one century after the discovery of this technology, existing PLC systems can be subdivided under three main classes of ultra-narrowband, narrowband and broadband systems, where, each one has been dedicated for a special application and is based on a specific standard. Within the framework of aforementioned grouping, this paper provides a comprehensive study on the historical evolution of this technology which includes from the historical review, advantages, telecommunication challenges and application areas of this technology to the presentation of worldwide standardization projects, equipment and their providers, and its key role on making the future gird smarter.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of multicultural situations in the process of teaching, learning the human factors of Ahvaz Faculty of Petroleum. In order to achieve this goal a qualitative approach and narrative study method have been used. The study population and the human factors include professors, students and other staff, such as an advisor to the Ahvaz Faculty of Petroleum. Using purposeful sampling method and based on theoretical saturation of findings, four of them were selected as samples.. Data collection method is face -to-face and unstructured interviews. Also, the method of research analysis is a qualitative content analysis method. The research findings were extracted from 6 themes.They are factors causing racial discrimination in the classroom and in the community. As they can fight ethnic prejudices, they will be able to respect their ethnicity, customs, language and culture that eliminate injustice among the classroom.

Concurrent engineering strategy is one of the most fundamental parameters in industrial development. Designers are not only confronted with the complexity of the design process, but in order to improve the economic production and maintain the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, it is necessary to design, construct, and test processes performed concurrently and not intermittent. To implement the concurrent engineering model, one of the most basic requirements is to understand the current and present state in order to calculate the gap between the current and the desired state of the future for the implementation of concurrent engineering. In this paper, using the standard factors defined for the concurrent engineering model, the existing gap has been calculated and the solutions needed to reduce the gap have explained. The evaluation of the status of each of the factors was done by using a distributed questionnaires between the maritime companies and especially the shipyard. According to the results of the survey, the answers to the questionnaires and calculations were done; the greatest gap is related to cultural factors that need to be reduced by using some exercises and techniques in the pilot projects.
