growing global environmental concerns overtheir use for the generation of electric power have increased the interest in the utilizationof renewable energy. This also raises the needs for engineering and sciences programs toprovide training in the areas of renewable energy technology. New programs, courses andsupport laboratories need to be developed and implemented. This paper describes thedevelopment of a design module that forms part of a project-based course in solar-windenergy systems taught at one of the author’s former institution during the Winter 2006term. Course materials were developed during the summer 2005 and fall 2006. Thismodule, which is part of the course-support laboratory, consists of a decision supportsoftware application used

“Ground-up” Approach In seeking projects for this course, emphasis has been placed on finding those that are notyet far along in their development. Very often, engineering of the energy systems for theseprojects has occurred late in the project, when many decisions affecting energy use and wastestreams have already been made.[1] Thus the energy engineer is constrained, and standard off-the-shelf technology is often the result. This does not provide a good experience for the students,who would like to explore possibilities unencumbered by prior decisions. The best choice for a potential project is an open field, or a vacant building, a site thatprovides a blank slate upon which energy systems can be applied. These systems can then
