However, asmentioned before, the current education curricula seldom expose students to collaborativeexperiences.These integrated solutions will improve critical infrastructure such as the electrical and watersystems. For example, the impact of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico’s electrical infrastructureled to a slow and painful rebuilding process of the power system that has not finished. Thissluggish process has had many problems as in the case of the numerous power outages due to theunstable energy generation and supply system.
