profound understanding of physics,chemistry, and engineering principles. The development, deployment, and management ofnuclear energy systems encompass a variety of complex technical challenges, including reactordesign, fuel cycle technology, and waste management. However, addressing nuclear energychallenges requires more than just technical expertise; these issues exist at the convergence ofnuclear technology, policy, and societal interests, thereby exhibiting all the characteristics ofwicked problems [6]. These problems include the need to balance safety concerns, regulatoryrequirements, economic feasibility, and public perception.Moreover, the societal implications of nuclear energy are significant, as they involve public trust,ethical

fosters critical thinking on energymanagement and ecological impact, prompting students to explore the broader role ofrenewable technologies in society.1.0 IntroductionThe primary goal of this paper is to develop a dual-axis solar tracking platform that offers ahands-on learning experience for engineering students. We intend to bridge the gap betweenclassroom knowledge and practical application. By designing, programming, andtroubleshooting a real-world system, students gain a deeper understanding of solar energytechnology, sustainability, and problem-solving methods.Several projects exist that incorporate solar tracking at various levels of complexity. Single-axis trackers, for example, are relatively straightforward to build and maintain
