staff.BackgroundAccording to the United States Census Bureau in 2010 there were ~56.7 million people withsome form of disability, or ~19% of the American population.1 However the term ‘disabled’ canbe difficult to understand, as the severity of the disability is not always clear. It could mean thatsomeone had a partial hearing impairment or that someone had a severe motor pathology likecerebral palsy. The 2010 report Americans With Disabilities1 gave insight into the rates ofemployment for those with disabilities and those without. From this it becomes clear how hard itis for those to with disabilities to find employment and support themselves. However supportstructures and employment opportunities do exist For example the AbilityOne program employs45,000 people

that were available and used on a previous project at Lawrence Tech in 2007, andintegrate these into a viable power system. This on-going project is a portable PV poweredprototype system with energy storage and various energy outputs. We have now physicallydemonstrated this integrated system’s ability to capture solar energy and convert it to DC power,to deliver 110 volts AC, and both 24 volt DC and 12 volt DC output power in both laboratoryand out-door experimental setups. Another important aspect of this project is that the PV powersource is expandable. The basic stand-alone cart has two PV modules (at approximately 100-watts each), but the design also allows for an additional four more PV modules (yielding to up to~600 watts total

Three librarians from DiSC worked with this group to teach them how to identify and extract data from NOAA. There were other geographic aspects of this project that required the use of GIS software to filter by zip code. At this point, DAEN students were not learning about GIS.

timethey first met as a group, the division of tasks was very clear. Although James, the highschool junior, took it upon himself to lead the group and coordinate the tasks and assignmembers to each task, the other members did not necessarily follow his lead. Once thetasks were divided, and subsequently the team into sub teams or individual work, thepower dynamics changed. Every sub team and individuals were observed working on atask independently, and without asking for any assistance. The members working on eachtask seemed to possess enough knowledge to complete the tasks on their own, without anyguidance or direction from others.

The EPICS program has experienced a more rapid phase of growth in recentyears, doubling the enrollment from 292 in the spring of 2010 to 603 in the fall of 2017 and over700 in 2018. This phase of growth included shifts in the composition of teams, as more first andsecond year students enrolled in the design

Besides his interests in game-based ac- tivities around the scholarship of teaching and learning, he is also interested in evidence-based practices through systematic reviews, meta-analysis and empirical research on engineering education issues. In addition, he is interested in measuring inventories development by examining the psychometric properties of instruments in engineering education.Dr
