: • System power is generated by solar panel(s) and stored in batteries. • Battery charging and discharging need to be managed. • Depend on the load types, system may or may not include inverters. • Current and voltage of the solar panel and the energy storage unit need to be monitored. • Hourly data need to be logged. • System needs to be assembled and installed for use in an application.The first step of the project involves identifying a problem, followed by creating a requirementsdocument and a test plan for the system. Students must meet several milestones to ensure steadyprogress. These milestones include: • Problem statement and solution description (week 7): Each team will draft a brief problem statement and

nuclear energy to solve the impending energy crisis on itsown, but excluding nuclear energy from our plans for a carbon-neutral energy future would be aserious misstep. The path to decarbonization will include a variety of energy feedstocks andsystems, likely tailored to local geographies, cultures, and resources. Bringing more people intothe conversation, particularly young people considering their future careers, is a vital task thatrequires more effective models like the summer academy described above.References[1]Mohamed, M., Zakuan, N.

convey control signals from the user to thesimulation loop. This arrangement allows students to remotely access and manage theirsimulation(s) remotely over the Internet. Separately, Node-RED is used to both manage the GUIand make requests to the WebSocket server. Students may access the GUI through a web browserby navigating to a specified URL. The use of Node-RED also allows for rapid deployment ofadditional dashboards that are individually tailored for specific experiments.3.2 Graphical User Interface DemonstrationFigure 4 shows the GUI during a sample experiment.

for efficientdecision-making. Such an endeavor will require the implementation of external sensors thatconsider factors like weather. Additionally, more work will be done to process the data fromthese sources as well as employing advanced computing techniques to uncover the patterns andbehavior that define the collected results.References[1] H.

Harkness, University of Florida My bio is here.Andreas Enqvist ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 Modernization of Nuclear Engineering Undergraduate CurriculumIntroductionNuclear engineering is a well-established field of engineering in the United States, withundergraduate programs stretching back to the 1950's. Among such long-established disciplines,however, nuclear engineering undergraduate programs involve several unusual aspects: • The number of students per cohort is much smaller than in other programs (e.g., mechanical or electrical engineering). • The number of faculty is much smaller than in other programs. • There is no firm consensus in the names and content areas of
