theAPVAWT capstone team has passed will be introduced to show how the engineering students ofthe team design and build the APVAWT system with the Liberty art students. 2.1 Decision Gate 1 – Stakeholder RequirementsThe 1st decision gate is to identify and confirm stakeholder requirements that guide the capstoneteam in understanding what is needed to be accomplished for the project and the class. Here,stakeholders represent all entities who are involved in this project: the capstone team, theclient(s), and the class instructor.

course. In addition, most of the available scholarly work on EngineeringThermodynamics course focus on incorporating new teaching methods such as using videomedia [6], implementing experiential learning model [7], and developing MATLAB Functions[8] for improvement of student learning in the course. For instance, A. Karimi and R. Manteufelconducted and experiment by implementing Flipped Classroom Concept in their teaching of theThermodynamics course [9]. As another example, A. Smith and S. Brauer presented an alternateapproach to convey the conceptual content of the Thermodynamics course. They played anonline quiz game, called Kahoot!, to reinforce the content covered in the reading assignments[10].Author of the current paper believes in

components and ensuring all the specs were correct. Figure 5: Base design The final aspect of the design process was to create our own custom-fit solar moduletransportation unit in a second wagon. We came up with the idea to cut notches into plywoodpieces to create “fingers” that would support the individual modules and keep them separatedduring transportation. The pieces of plywood would be held in place by shelf support brackets.Then, to ensure the stability of the modules we would secure 2×4’s around the perimeter of theplywood. The end 2×4 was designed with a wing nut to be able to open and close the back endto remove and replace the modules for use. Pipe insulation sleeves would be used to cushion

Arduino could be looked into for minimizing powerlosses. The H-bridge could have its speed modified in relation to the events of external andenvironmental influences. For edcational studies, we recommend providing details about the economic analysis for theproject in order to obtain a much more profound understanding of how much the rate of return ofthe investment will be available to the owner. First step is to find the set-up cost, which is a one-time expense to include the initial cost of developing the solar panel unit(s); equipment used,shipping cost, and installation or any labor costs associated with the construction of the unit(s).There is also the consideration of annual operation and maintenance costs that need to be takeninto

ahead to design a solar system for educational access.Educational access will likely require design considerations and expenses beyond that of aconventional commercial solar installation. Educational access may also require additionaltechnical experts or sub-contractors to work on the design and installation of the system.Engagement of the school’s facility managers and faculty members early in the process isessential. Dialogue between these parties and the solar developer can maximize the educationalbenefits of a solar installation.Potential Educational AudiencesWhen designing solar PV systems for educational use, the first step is to consider who theintended educational audience(s) might be.
