The scope was to evaluate the subjectiveperception of the students relative to their understanding of energy-related topics rather than usingcomprehensive tests [9] as physics laws were I fact the real objective of the course. A comparisonbetween their pre-course perception and post-course perception was intended (questions 1 and 2). Also a Page 15.800.7relative self-assessment of their progress in this direction was addressed by question 3. Table 1.

The homes in Figures 3(m), (n), and especially (q) and (r) werebuilt into the ground to make an Earthen home. This also increases the efficiency of the home byadding insulation to the home’s walls and reducing the rate of heat transfer through the walls.The home in Figure 3(m) and (n) also featured a large rainwater collection system. The homes inFigures 3(a), (b), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), (n), (s), and (t) all incorporated a PV system.Considering that solar photovoltaics is a major portion of the course, and students gainsignificant lab experience working with PV system components, it is not surprising that moststudents incorporate

Task 1 — Reading Datasheets:In Task 1, students were required to note down the manufacturer specified PV parameters fromsolar module datasheets, such as open-circuit voltage (𝑉𝑂𝐶 ), short-circuit current (𝐼𝑆𝐶 ), temperatureco-efficient of short-circuit current (𝐾𝐼 ), and the cell area. This is an important step before thesimulation models can be constructed. Only one solar cell’s data (Q-Cells; Model: Q6LMXP3-G3,Power Class: 4.53) was used for modeling and simulation7. This cell had the following parameters:𝑉𝑂𝐶 = 0.636V, 𝐼𝑆𝐶 = 9.15A, and 𝐾𝐼 = +4.575mA/K, and cell area = 243.36 cm2.2.3

In addition, discussions of engineering standards such as HydraulicInstitute Standards, and use of engineering handbooks are utilized where appropriate to providestudents exposure to professional conduct and necessity of lifelong learning.Lessons Learned There were 15 seniors taking the class in the fall semester. At the end of the course, studentswere asked to provide feedback on the course materials and their usefulness for their professionalcareer as an entry-level engineer.

This discussion is very productive because of the community college's location within anarea central to America’s Industrial Revolution. The curriculum also includes simple fluidmechanics and terms such as head, flow and diameter of a pipe. The quantitative section of thewater power activity is to discover the principles of the flow equation, [Q = 0.62 * (cross-sectional area)*(2gh) 1/2]. This equation is supported with handouts and worksheets thatincorporate problems for the students to solve. As water falls, it is a potential source of energy.The greater the height

at which coal is converted into electricity, and has the units of BTU/kWhr. A pound ofcoal has a certain amount of heating value, HHV, which varies from 4000-15000 BTU/lbdepending on its quality and carbon content. The quantity of coal burned in the unit, Coal, resultsin a heat energy input, Q, given in equation (6). This is divided by the electrical energygenerated, which is the work done by the generator, W. Lower values of heat rate are better asthis indicates less coal necessary (less heat energy input) for a given amount of electrical energyoutput. Typical values for heat rate vary from the very good of around 9000 BTU/kWhr (38%efficient), to poor of around 11000 BTU/kWhr (31% efficient). Both BTU and kWhr are units ofenergy. To convert

Each of these fictional stakeholders had pre-described concerns with a power plantdesign as well as opinions about what a good power plant might do. These stakeholders weredesigned to have some points of commonality, but also points of disagreement on theirwants/needs for the power plant. Once the stakeholders were introduced to the project,documentation that described the requirements and criteria of the project were reducedsubstantially. The information they needed would now be determined by “interviewing” thestakeholders in a Q&A online forum. The instructional staff role-played as the
