differentlevels of cost and achieve different levels of infrastructure integrity (II) for redeveloping thelocal electric infrastructure. A conceptual framework has been developed, together with metricsand computational methods for assessing infrastructure integrity [1-4]. II is the ability of aninfrastructure system to exhibit reliability, flexibility, resilience, and adaptability. Although II isuseful for application to any infrastructure system, it is particularly applicable to electricsystems, and it provides a foundation on which to build in considering the future development ofelectric grids. For each vision, strengths and weaknesses, and in so doing, we intend to providestrong rationale regarding the best path forward for re-developing the local

There is a calling from articles, reports, and an accreditations [1]–[8] thatthere is a need for public policy to be integrated in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) education as students need to master the technical competencies, but bemindful that one’s work could provide benefits and harm. More importantly, students of STEMfields, who one day will become the next generation of scientists, technologists, engineers, andmathematicians are important actors in the area of policy as they will fill the holes of STEMexpertise that policymakers lack, assist in the development of policy, and advocate variouscauses [9], [10].In Fall 2019, Chaminade University of Honolulu will be launching
