example, he investigates how deaf individuals acquire information through speech-to-text (captions/subtitles) or sign language in- terpreters, compared with their hearing peers who listen directly. He also develops accessible computing solutions to address these disparities in multimodal information access. For example, he has implemented and verified the benefit of enhanced captions that provide visual cues to non-speech information. In the ac- cessibility/intellectual property law field, he advocates for updates in accessible and intellectual property law, to incorporate accessible computing advances such as automatic captioning/subtitling. He worked in industry for over five years before returning to academia and

shows the accredita-tion status for computer science programs at the top 20 US universities as ranked by U.S. News& World Report 5 . A little more than one-half of these programs do not have their Computer Sci-ence program accredited, although most if not all of these institutions have engineering programsaccredited through ABET. Hence, one could conclude that some institutions deliberately elect notto seek ABET accreditation for their computer science programs because they do not feel there issufficient value in it for themselves.Several of the institutions on the list have a sufficiently high-profile that they may feel that ac-creditation provides no additional benefit to them. Potentially, these institutions believe that theyhave

course is designed as an introduction to renewable energy technologies. Concepts ofenergy sources and systems to be surveyed include solar/photovoltaic, wind power, fuel-cells,hydroelectric, the smart grid, alternative fuels, geothermal power, ocean, nuclear, and biofuels.Energy conversions from these various sources will be examined and applications explored.Socio-economic, environmental, and regulatory issues will also be considered. Labs will beused to explore key aspects of alternative and renewable power sources.REET 150 Power Electronics and Alternative Energy Applications with LabThis course covers power switching circuits such as rectifiers, AC-DC and DC-DC converters,inverters and motor drives. Power semiconductor devices, thermal
