discussed.Given the multidisciplinary component of the new curricula, junior and senior level studentsfrom different engineering majors will be able to register for the course.The course will also contain several lab practices for hands-on learning. There will be differentlab assignments; using the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER®)which is a free computer software developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory(NREL) used to model on and off-grid power sources. By using this software, students willexperience ways to evaluate and analyze different design options for intelligent hybrid powersystems. It will allow students to explore what renewable technologies are the most cost-effective and evaluate their impact on the

the fall semester of 2010, Stephen developed and taught a cross-listed undergraduate and graduate level course on simulation- based modeling and design using computational fluid dynamics. Prior to being at South Dakota State University, Stephen worked with the Simulation, Modeling, and Decision Science Division at Iowa State University’s Virtual Reality Application Center. His research while at these institutions included modeling complex multiphase fluid flows and systems of models to optimize engineering designs of energy systems. Stephen has been a coordinating instructor for undergraduate engineering laboratories, including fluid mechanics and heat transfer laboratories. Also, Stephen is actively involved with
