problem. Ingeneral, there is at least the potential that these fluids could contaminate the pumpedwater or otherwise enter the environment. Furthermore, they can be expensive, and arerarely available where ‘appropriate technology’ is needed.Two separate student-designed pumps are presented that seek to overcome theselimitations. They were developed as part of 2-semester ‘Capstone’ design project classes.In one, air separates a small charge of working fluid from well water, reducing thepotential for contamination. The other pump is designed to boil water at lowertemperatures than might otherwise be necessary, by use of an inverted water column, andis useful when water need only be lifted a few meters. An alternative to this design is alsosuggested

Page 11.900.4poorly employing subscripted variables. In every successful case, run times were less than 3seconds. The whole exercise was somewhat shorter in duration for efficient code writers, about2-4 hours, than for the 65% who wrote inefficient code, 6-25 hours.Electrical engineering technology (EET) students at Buffalo State were also assigned similar taskbut this was the first time such an assignment was given to them. Ten students were involved inthis project. Their mathematics background varied with three students just being transferred fromcommunity college and taking technical calculus concurrently with Power Systems 1 course.Several students did not take programming course yet. Five students were taking MATLAB®and MathCAD

,updated and changed at regular intervals. The support system is designed and intended fortutorials, discussions, and/or collaborations among students. The laboratory experiments anddesign projects will be developed by using software packages, available in WSU College ofEngineering, such as MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW and Interactive Data Language (IDL)1-5.An important part of second course, dealing with HPS, will be included in capstone designprojects2-5.Courseware: The courseware outlined by chapters covers the basic principles of renewableenergy sources up to the more advanced sections including hybrid power systems, distributedgeneration, power electronics and control, energy management, and data analysis andprocessing. The courseware contains
