Reflections from a Semester-Long Place-Based Photovoltaic Solar Energy ProjectAbstractIn spring of 2022, the University of San Diego integrated engineering department offered a newsociotechnical solar energy course for junior and senior students. The course differed fromtraditional, technical upper-division engineering electives by facilitating student learning througha semester-long, team-based solar energy project that students worked on while concurrentlygaining technical insights through lectures and problem sets. Informed by place-based pedagogiesand culturally sustaining pedagogies, we designed the course to be relevant to the students’ livedexperiences by coupling the learning about technical elements of solar energy with a
EL slant this technical elective has become quitepopular which may be indicative of students appreciating the engaging content. The initial coursewhich was offered in Fall 2014 had 8 students and peaked at 42 students in Winter 2020. It wasjust recently offered again in Winter 2022, and 26 students took the course. Our typicalgraduating classes are on the order of 30 to 40 students and only Juniors and Senior students areeligible to take the course. In a typical quarter, they have five other offerings other than thiscourse, so around 50% or more choose to take this course before graduation.conclusionsThrough incorporating PBL, EL, and EM methods in projects using free software such asJavaFoil and Ansys Fluent as computational wind tunnels

Introduction and BackgroundGender imbalance in computing programs is a persisting issue not only at Farmingdale StateCollege (FSC), but also at the national and international level. The authors have taken a multi-faceted approach to balance the gender gap by running multiple support programs at FSC moreconsistently since fall 2019 [1]. This paper focuses on the intervention of providing womenstudents with an opportunity to attend an overnight, women in computing conference. Preliminaryresults from the first in-person overnight mixed-gender field trip in spring 2022 were positive [2].This paper evaluates the impact of the second in-person overnight trip, that was limited to womenonly in spring 2023.Enrollment

Engineering course was offered first in Spring 2022 and again inFall 2023. At the beginning of the Fall 2023 course, a pre-assessment was administered to thestudents to establish a baseline of knowledge. At the conclusion of the semester, a post-assessment measured student growth in their understanding of sustainability concepts. Studentscompleting the course should be able to explain the principles and concepts that underliesustainability, including environmental, social, and economic aspects. Furthermore, the studentsshould be able to develop sustainable solutions to real-world problems involving the chemicalindustry and chemical engineering applications.
