laboratories help to facilitate the complete working experience forthe students. The labs allow the students to design, create, and enhance their vehicles. Eachstudent has the ability to work on every aspect of the vehicle they are creating and hone theirskills. The machine shop allows the students to test their designs as well as gain invaluableexperience working on machines such as laser cutters that they will be using during their futurecareers. These projects help students to sharpen their skills for future workmanship, such as teamwork, understanding responsibility, and making use of techniques learned in class. Moreover theEVP students gain an irreplaceable experience and lifelong relationships while working withinternational students and

room for a full course on fuel cells.IntroductionIt is surprising to learn that fuel cell technology is over 165 years old, and yet it has made onlymarginal inroads in the modern power production world. William Grove, a British investigator,is generally acknowledged as the inventor of the fuel cell. However, some sources indicate that itmight have been Humphrey Davy who should be credited with this invention in 1801, almostforty years earlier3. The successful development of combustion-mechanical power-dynamotechnology in the early 1900 overshadowed any attempts to commercially develop fuel cells’direct conversion for many years to come. Most fuel cell work was done in a laboratory setting

. This percentage for engineering courses was mere 0.86%. This is unfortunate since theinfrastructure required for online education has been primary developed by engineers.The perceived obstacles in widespread integration of online courses in engineering curriculumscan be divided into two categories: physical obstacles and cultural obstacles. A major physicalbarrier is how to provide hands-on trainings, which traditionally take place in laboratories andmachine shops, in an online setting. However, this may not be a major problem since, contrary towhat one may expect, the data shows that online education is primary “local”. A little over half ofall students who took at least one online course took some face-to-face courses at the sameinstitution

The firstpaper studied policy issues related to retail power beaming, while a second dealt witharchitecture options and costs. The third paper in this series has shown that the optimalarchitecture will probably be one where stratospheric buoyant platforms will serve to capture anddistribute power coming from terrestrial plants either directly or via space satellites.

servedby distribution transformers is worth analyzing as the increased load can pose maintenance andfailure concerns to transformers [19]. A study performed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) found that theintroduction of an EV load to a distribution transformer increased the failure rate by 0.02% peryear [24]. Reasonably exceeding standard operation ratings have not been found to increase thelikelihood of sudden transformer failures significantly. However, research indicates that increasedload does impact the operation lifespan. A study [25] analyzed how the number of EVs at differentcharging levels affected the aging of a transformer. The results of this study are shown in Table 4.Results indicate that multiple EVs under

With this in mind, a laboratory session is planned for the students about thebasics of soldering, as well as the basics of electronic devices. This aids their attaining a morepractical perspective of the theoretical concepts that they have heard.

Students who opted to come to aclassroom were given an opportunity to come to a computer laboratory at a scheduledtime to take the exams. Although the average time students took to complete was only75% of the time given, several students felt that the time provided was not enough tocomplete quizzes and exams. However, it is also important to note that no one was able toscore 100% on any exam.The students were required to do a project and prepare a webpage on their findings sothat the rest of the class members can learn their findings. This was one of the ways topresent their work to other students in an online course. Two help sessions to
