provideelectricity in the aftermath of disasters for emergency relief and to remote areas having no accessto the grid. It will also discuss the advantages of community solar and solar microgrid fordisaster resilience. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of these technologies inengineering education and integrating them in programs related to solar energy and disaster &emergency management.IntroductionAccording to recent reports, 1, 2 the number of natural disasters worldwide has steadily increasedsince 1970s. It is also reported that the number of natural disasters is the highest in NorthAmerica with tornadoes, hurricanes, severe heat, floods and even drought. When a disasterstrikes, the whole infrastructure including electricity shuts

opportunities to innovate towards far-offgoals, learning what they must learn, wherever that knowledge can be found, and survivingthe continuous onslaught of superstitions without losing sight of reality.The paper is organized as follows. The genesis of the project is traced from a courseassignment in an International Policy class. The daunting list of concepts to be mastered ifone were to become a true expert in this field, is used to explore alternatives, and define theidea of concept resilience as it applies to students and faculty developing advanced concepts.The evolution of the concept is then traced as students and faculty learned from initial conceptexploration, to finding out the needs and constraints that successively refined or expanded

operations and pieces of research equipment. The outages were due to partial or complete loss of utility supply and malfunctions of aged cables and other distribution components at IIT. The lack of system redundancy and the unavailability of replacement components prolonged the outage durations at IIT. In 2005, the Galvin Electricity Initiative led a campaign to implement a perfect power system at IIT with the objective of establishing a micro grid that is environmentally friendly, fuel efficient, robust, and resilient, with self-healing capability. The micro grid at IIT would empower the campus consumers to control their daily power consumption, in response to the real- time price of electricity. The IIT micro grid

to Energize School FacilitiesAbstract: This paper explores the potential for universities, colleges, and K-12 schools toimplement solar electric infrastructure projects on their campuses that not only provide financialsavings, but also provide learning environments and instructional opportunities for students. Arecent case study at Madison College is presented for a 1.85 MW photovoltaic system that is thelargest solar rooftop installation in the State of Wisconsin. The system was designed withseveral unique features to facilitate public access, provide students with hands-on interaction,and compare and contrast several different types of solar equipment. Special engineering designconsiderations should be made when installing solar on schools
