conclusion will be presentedin Section 5.2. Fundamentals of Solar EnergySolar energy has the theoretical potential to power the entire world. Over the course of a year,the earth receives 17 GW of energy from the sun. Approximately 30% of the solarradiation is reflected back into space while the rest is absorbed by clouds, oceans, and landmasses. So the earth’s surface receives roughly 89 GW of energy. The yearly globalconsumption of energy is 16 GW5. Therefore, capturing all the global solar energy for asmall time period can nearly fulfill this amount. Solar energy can be converted to both heat andelectricity. Solar heating can be used to provide domestic hot water, space heating, cooking, anddrying. Direct solar

Further student-faculty interaction was provided through weekly faculty research seminars. Each week, onefaculty member presented brief vignettes of their research interests to the group, enablingstudents to learn of other imaging related research beyond their own projects. Page 23.1040.5 In addition to the program-related activities, students participated in several University-wide enrichment events. These activities included a weekly brown-bag seminar series on topics such

Students often worktogether and always had ample opportunity to receive help during office hours. In addition, thenumber of students is small to determine statistically significant differences.The performance on the exams may be a more accurate reflection of students’ learning (seeTable 4). The midterm exam covered content from the inverted part of the 2011 class. Eachyear the exact questions on the midterm change, but are in general very similar (data from earlierversions of the course from 1997 to 2005 is not shown).

scoring tools that detail the expectations and requirements for anassignment32. Specifically, rubrics are advantageous when a “judgment of quality” is required tocritique a work, which is often the case for writing samples33. More generally, rubrics are usedto judge the quality of constructs (e.g. reports, presentations, etc.) made by students duringperformance tests, which require students to exhibit high-level skills to complete an authentic(i.e. real-world) challenge34. As a result, rubrics are commonly used in the classroom as bothassessment and teaching tools to enhance student learning35. For instance, an instructor mayprovide students with a rubric to guide them in completion of a task. Reflecting on the rubrichelps students assess their

Asked undergraduates to describe the phenomena and explain what was happening. Graduate mentors then provided ways to think more critically and considerately about the problem. For example, mentors gave students the knowledge to understand the problem and allowed students to think upon and reflect about a problem rather than giving a solution.2. Asked students to investigate answers by searching through primary or secondary data sources. For example, graduate mentors pointed to the people with the expertise or to the literature to guide students to find

Therefore the students matched actual rain collected by rain gauges to our calculated precipitation values from the radar images. They discovered that there are not only “official” governmental weather stations (often located at airports), but also an ad hoc network of rain gauges reported on by volunteers. The students had an opportunity to travel and see the data collection process of the volunteer network first-hand (Fig. 6).
