anticipation of future expansion, the conductor sizingand other apparatus should be able to accommodate 100 PBKs. The final design of the energykiosk is shown in Figure 3. Page 26.1413.7 Figure 3. Final design of the energy kiosk.The refined design was used to write a Request for Proposal (RFP) from three Kenyan vendors tosupply equipment (other than the PBKs) and install the system. A core element in manydevelopment projects that are associated with a university is that the team of student volunteersdo most of the installation. Hiring a contractor to do this work is anathema to this mode ofoperation. However, the students

on samples of work in three categories of students: those in the upper 75 percentile, those in the 50 – 75 percentile and those below the 50 percentile populations. Thus the assessment results compiled are based on course performances and grades, exams, projects, presentations of students, and writings as required in some courses. Furthermore, each course specifically addresses the learning outcomes and relation between the course and the program outcomes, the methods used for the evaluation of students’ performance and the relevance of the course materials to the program outcomes following the standards adopted for the assessment process.  Students will be provided with the course descriptions

acontrast between two conditions: Condition of Desires and Actual Condition”. The successful design ofan item transforms a condition of “Desire” (or need) into one of “Actuality”. These definitions aresupported by Jonassen (2004) when he writes “First, a problem is an unknown entity in some context”,and “Second, finding or solving for the unknown must have some social, cultural or intellectual value”.He then adds one vital ingredient, “someone believes that it is worth finding the unknown”. Jonassen(2004) in his book has focused on the following three types of problems: story problems, troubleshootingproblems, and case and system and policy analysis problems.A problem-solving method describes a reasoning process that efficiently achieves a goal by

• the sharing of best practices in the content, teaching, certifications, articulation and career pathways for renewable energy technicians among participants and with their international peers • the use of an online learning collaborative site for knowledge-building activities and to share and disseminate curricula and other learning materialsGermany in particular presented an interesting case. The German Energiewende – or “energytransition” – is an on-going, nationally coordinated, comprehensive undertaking that has twofundamental drivers: the development and deployment of renewable energy sources and anincreased and widespread implementation of energy efficiency measures, all of which isoccurring in a relatively
