report will berequired to have a conference format so the undergraduates can practice writing papers. At the end of the semester each group will present their Power Houses model as well astheir written project. To access students learning progress as well as attribute grade a finalwritten exam will be given. The expected outcome of this class is to engage students in using renewable energy thrutheir professional careers showing that there is an alternative to traditional models.Conclusion Renewable energy resources are here to be explored, studied and improved. The mainobjective to this class is to get engineering students from different departments and teach themhow these resources can be used in their projects as well as

, and working as a team. These are skills that can becarried on in future careers or educational endeavors. The majority of those who participated inthe project felt their knowledge of atmospheric effects and solar energy was moderately butclearly expanded. As this is a vast and complicated subject, it is not expected for students tothoroughly understand all aspects of atmospheric effects after one semester. However, thestudents did expand their knowledge in a clear and comprehensive way, gaining a basicunderstanding that they can build on in the future if they so desire. The majority of the students who participated stated that they found the data analysis tobe the most challenging aspect of the study. The high number of variables taken

, it is anticipated that the students will become moreaware of the greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, and the deleterious effects arising due todependence on foreign oil. Exposing middle, and high school students, and university studentsand their faculty to these topics will not only foster greater awareness but also generate increasedinterest in STEAM careers. It probably does not come as a surprise that the recommendationsmade by the National Academy of Engineering for transforming engineering curricula for thenew millennium echo that of the National Academy of Sciences and encourages sweepingchanges that promote the integration of life-skills and civic responsibility outcomes along withacademic outcomes as part of the overall

,communication protocol between protective relays and communication processor shouldbe taken into account as well as communication protocol to make connection between theSMART Grid Lab and the remote site over the Internet. This allowed me to learn moreabout communication protocols such as MODBUS TCP/IP. In addition, the XMPPprotocol was brought to the center of my attention as a reliable and securecommunication protocol for such applications as transmission line protection.Briefly, this project enhanced my knowledge about communication protocols as anintegral part of future smart grids. Moreover, it greatly enhanced my ability to set up sucha complicated system from ground up, which is very valuable for my future career in thiscompetitive world. It

energy knowledge and projects are important to prepare students to becompetitive for careers in the growing fields of instrumentation, automation & control, energy-related engineering, science, and technology. Preliminary projections from the Bureau of LaborStatistics state that the number of expected energy related green jobs is expected to increase by11% by 2016, and most of it in environmental or energy-related sectors [20-21] . Edgar Dale’scone of learning shows that participating in discussions or other active experiences may increaseretention of material by up to 90% [22].

It enabled students to spend more time in the hardware lab,and five of the ten general comments about beneficial aspects of the course on the evaluationsurvey mentioned laboratory work. The hardware lab has modern equipment, which the studentslikely felt would help them in their future careers. Also, the lab environment was very excitingand dynamic, with much activity occurring, as the instructor and TA circulated among the teamsto assist them with various obstacles. The instructor believes the flipped method of
