Additionally, a wireless monitoring system allows for evaluationof the efficiency of the system against the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) model whichmade an energy estimate of the system given the system size, angle of the roof, and local weatherpatterns.

Answers to themost common student questions are also provided.MotivationFor the first two or three times the author taught an introductory steel design course, he noticedthat many students were not able to clearly describe yielding in materials. From previous coursesin mechanics of materials and structural analysis, the students recognized that yielding, alongwith fracture, were both limit states to be checked, but they struggled to differentiate between thetwo failure modes and
