of class time interactingwith one another. Because of the student-centered nature of this course, students benefitfrom the other members of student learning community. In this class the instructor’s roleis that of a facilitator of the learning process. S/he will provide student with activities,and facilitate discussions. Activities and field trips have been chosen so as to engagestudents in individual and collaborative problem solving, analysis, synthesis, criticalthinking, reasoning, and reflection. Students will learn through listening to others andsharing your ideas, and by doing. What students learn will depend directly on theirwillingness to participate and there preparedness for the class through reading therequired materials before

programs with afocus on engineering technology programs. Since it is anticipated that high school leaderattendees will be familiar with Project Lead The Way® (PLTW) curriculum, The PLTWengineering design and development process is used as the methodology for outliningdevelopment of the faculty leadership development programs aimed at better preparing effectiveleaders and aligning curriculum with the Four Pillars. The steps of this process include: 1. Define and Justify Problem 2. Generate Multiple Solutions 3. Select and Develop Solution Page 24.845.7 4. Construct and Test Prototype 5. Reflect and Evaluate 6

be emulated in school, even with the capital cost expenditure Page 24.936.2 made by schools in order to obtain and maintain laboratory environments that reflect the modern industrial facility [2]. 2. From the students’ side there is no additional cost involved as the project is fully sponsored by Mazak. 3. Mazak benefits from this program by the opportunity of their employees interact with highly academically trained students, fully dedicated to experimental initiatives.According to Todd et al. [3], it is essential to keep in mind that industry is an important customerof engineering education. Ignoring this

algorithmsproduces realistic hourly data, being easy to use, requiring only the latitude and the monthlyaverages, while displaying realistic day to day and hour to hour patterns. The synthetic data arecreated with certain statistical properties that reflect global average value. However, generateddata for a particular location will not exactly replicate the characteristics of the real solarradiation. But tests show that synthetic solar data produce virtually the same simulation results asreal data. HOMER synthetic wind data generator is little different to use than the solar data as itrequires four parameters, in order to generate wind statistics for this specific site. A user starts byspecifying system parameters and hourly electrical load, wind and solar

based on experimental data; (5) validation of the green energymanufacturing laboratory models through several student projects. We also continuously improved theexperimental activities as well as the teaching modules based also on student project evaluations. Thequestionnaire is designed to reflect the students’ understanding of the overall micro manufacturingenergy system and target the benefits of technologies for high precision engineering applications. Thehistograms in Figure 19 demonstrate the evaluation results for the questionnaire provided to thestudents. The students evaluate the following question statements on the scale from1 to 5, where 1indicates “strongly disagree” and 5 indicates “strongly agree.”1. I have grasped the green
