Introduction:The 1973 oil embargo was the propulser for the creation of the first generation of multiple energysimulation programs, such as DOE and TRNSYS in USA, ESP-r in UK, CODYBA in France. Theseprograms are still in use until today, even if multiple versions have been developed, because of theirflexibility and their reliability.Among all these programs, only TRNSYS (Klein, 1976), (Klein, 1977), (Klein, 2006) reach theinternational scientific community, since it benefits from the modularity structure that makes it one of themost appropriate software for education and research.

many. To allow engineering to be taught effectively acrossthe K-12 education spectrum, particularly by teachers who themselves may not have studied orpracticed engineering, it is critical to articulate the important elements of engineering and toprovide specific assessment criteria that can be used to evaluate student proficiency with eachelement. As the elements and related assessment criteria are clearly defined, teachers can beginto consider lesson plans that teach engineering concepts at the appropriate level for theirstudents. This paper describes an ongoing effort to:  Identify engineering design as a cornerstone of K-12 engineering education,  Define expected learning outcomes for students studying engineering design

and encouragement.C. Sustaining the Projects and Partners10. Reuse your STEM lessons with different audiences of middle school students. Developing new curriculum can be time-consuming and when working with middle school students, the activities and lessons really need to be tested. So even if it means that it limits how much design and creativity your university students will have, reusing your STEM lessons in several service-learning projects can save a lot of time and problems. One example is having a few lessons pre-planned, and having the engineering students be helper teachers. This shows the engineering students what is contextually appropriate for middle and high school students and what to expect in a classroom

Despite the apparent advantages of the summer bridge programs its impact has beenlimited to only a small subset of students, which is a consequence of financial constraints of theindividual universities and also student interest. Summer bridge programs for 25 students cancost upwards of $40,000. Also, some high school graduates work to earn money for school ortravel during the summer prior to going to college, and participation in a multi-week residentialprogram would be disruptive to the established plans of these students.Post-secondary education summer transition/bridge programs typically recruit from targetpopulations including underrepresented students, low income students, provisionally admittedstudents, and those who are at risk
