Due to the high costs of the training units, it becomes a budget concern topurchase training units for laboratory sections. Some of the pre-built training units already on themarket have a price range from ten thousand to fifty thousand dollars per unit. If there are budgetconcerns for the program, the only option that remains is to teach theory without the benefit ofhands-on training. Taking these issues into consideration, the students in the IndustrialTechnology program have designed, built, and tested a multi-purpose renewable energy trainingunit for the alternative energy related classes. This prototype trainer is designed to be used forhands-on
