sustainability. The Solar Charging Stationsutilize solar PV modules to convert solar energy to DC voltage. The DC energy can be stored tobattery bank by a charge controller. An inverter is employed to convert the DC voltage from thebattery bank to 110 volt AC at 60 Hz frequency that is identical to the power from the electricoutlet on the wall. This project will enable students to acquire an essential foundation towardshow to design and build the solar PV systems for various applications. The students will alsolearn the code compliances required by National Electric Code (NEC) during the system designprocess.Based on the available components, the target of this pilot project is to build two solar chargingstations with different capacities. One station

Effective teaching of this course requires the development of appropriatelaboratory experiments to show students how to practically implement the theories covered in theclassroom.There were no standard laboratory experiments for the course prior to 2010 when the first authorjoined the Department. Based on industry and prior teaching experience, he developed, eight laboratoryexperiments for the course. The labs together with the class notes developed for the course were sent tosenior faculty from within and outside IPFW for review. The feedbacks was very positive and encouraging.This paper highlights the laboratory experiments developed for

Emergency Managementprofessionals. The university approved the curriculum for Emergency Management Technologyprogram in the Fall of 2010. The program began admitting students in Spring Semester of 2011.The curriculum focuses on topics such as emergency planning, incident command, disasterresponse and recovery, hazard identification and mitigation, agency coordination, homelandsecurity, and community emergency training [3].The primary goal of the EMT program is to help students gain a well-rounded skill set that willallow them to succeed in a homeland security or emergency management position. To reach thisgoal, the existing courses in Emergency Management Technology need be enriched to inductcontents of telecommunication, nuclear technology
