Dr. Riley also leads multiple DOE funded energy centers, including the Northern Mid-Atlantic Solar Education and Resource Center, and the Grid-Smart Application and Resource Center. In 2009 he initiated the launch of the National Energy Leadership Corps (NELC), a hands-on program that challenges college students to engage residents in their communities in meaningful home energy and sustainability planning and actions. He is now working with collaborators at numerous institutions to advance the and replicate the NELC in sustainable and high-impact applications.Dr. Lisa Riley Brown, Penn State UniversityDr. Melissa M.

The study was implemented in tandem at two different universities (denoted Univ 1 andUniv 2 in the data comparison tables). University 1 is a small, public, undergraduate onlybaccalaureate university with an art and sciences focus in a rural area of the Mid-Atlantic region.University 2 is a midsized, public, master's university in a medium density city in the West NorthCentral Region. The same semester-long project was assigned in a steel design class at university1 and a reinforced concrete design course at university 2. The background of the students wassimilar at both schools; the students had completed statics, mechanics of materials, and structuralanalysis courses. Most students at university 1 had already completed a reinforced

without removing established content. Theproject did not necessitate removal of other content because of its applicability to the entirecourse and not an individual topic. Furthermore, because the duration of the project lastedapproximately six weeks, students were capable of maintaining focus on new material whilecompleting the project outside of class.Data Collection and Student Surveys The scavenger hunt assignment has been implemented at two different universities(denoted Univ 1 and Univ 2 for data comparison). One is a small public, undergraduate collegein a rural area of the Mid-Atlantic region. The second university is a large, public university in adensely populated city on the West Coast.
