entrepreneurial opportunities in renewable energy systems.Introduction While many engineering educators have heard of service learning or extracurricularuniversity activities designed to engage students with renewable energy technologies [1,2] oreven clinic-based courses and project-based learning experiences involving photovoltaic (PV)projects [3-7] it remains a more difficult and challenging task to bring these experiences into thecore curriculum of an ECE program. This paper details one somewhat successful attempt.Throughout six weekly laboratories (at the latter half of the semester), teams comprising threestudents each analyzed and evaluated the potential for PV to power an electrical appliancetypically found in a residential setting.

theteaching and learning of a physics course through the students' perception. The modifiedILD has the same three stages as the original ILD, with two main differences in whoperforms the experiment and when it is performed. Specifically, the three phases in themodified ILD are 1) predict, 2) experiment (by students working in groups, not theinstructor), and 3) reflect (in groups, not individually). The first phase, prediction, beginswith the analysis of a physical situation in which students have to predict the behavior ofthe situation based on the knowledge imparted in the session by the instructor. This occursat the end of the instructor's exposition. The second phase occurs in the laboratory sectionof the course and relates to students' experience

and equitable course design checklist that enables facultyto proactively incorporate inclusive principles into various aspects of their course design,including syllabi, content, assessment, and pedagogy. With input from students, educators,and instructors, this checklist is primarily designed for mechanical engineering faculty, withan emphasis on aspects such as design and laboratories. Still, it can be widely applied to otherengineering courses.Furthermore, our paper seeks to shed light on the dynamic nature of such checklists. Giventhat our understanding of learning and human identity continues to evolve, we mustcontinually re-evaluate how we perceive equity and inclusivity in education. Hence, weenvision our checklist as a living document

Traditional engineering curriculum typicallyattempt to blend theoretical knowledge, following the disciplines of mathematics and thesciences, with practical skills. Mechanical engineers, for example, might take courses inmathematics, physics and design supplemented with laboratory experiences teachingprogramming, machining, and Computer-Aided Design (CAD). The results of these curricula areengineers with a broad understanding of many subjects, with some applied skill sets. However,the number and complexity of courses required for successful establishment in industry makesengineering programs the longest programs in universities (as measured by credit hour).

Intercity campuses face very different challenges when it comes toexpansion compared to rural campuses, and the low frequency of 1’s in the responses suggestthere might not be straightforward strategies to overcoming this obstacle.Of the 19 statements that were rated with a score of 4 or 5 with a frequency of 29% or greater,statement 48, which deals with independent access to laboratories by students, is the only onewhere no one responded with a 5. These results suggest that while independent access forstudents is a concern, it is not one of the most pressing concerns for new programs.

Research suggests thatABET outcomes be taught through traditional lecture courses, laboratory courses, and project-based learning such as capstone and cornerstone projects [4]. Some ABET outcomes, forexample 3,4, 5, and 7 (as denoted in Table 1), can be perceived as less technical, focusing onabilities such as communicating “effectively with a range of audiences”, functioning “effectivelyon a team”, and recognizing “ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situationsand [making] informed judgements” [1].

Unlike many other academic institutions, incoming USAFAstudents are not accepted to a college or school associated with a major’s program (e.g., Collegeof Engineering). USAFA has nine institutional outcomes, and one is devoted to all graduatesbeing able to apply the engineering method. To meet this outcome, all students take fiveengineering courses as a part of the general education curriculum regardless of their major.

The C-Rboxes were built for a nominal cost of $60 per box, using a 20” box fan, four 20”x20”x2”MERV-13 filters, the box from the fan, and duct tape. The project was carried out by smallgroups (3-4 students) working in the First-Year Design Laboratory over four weeks. At the endof the project, the C-R boxes were distributed to the local elementary schools.
