It is important to encourage students to learn to use suchkind of software packages that work with renewable energy systems. Because by taking theadvantage of such tools students can learn and adapt better solutions to fix the energy problemissues. It is is important to keep in mind that how we are using the energy today will shape theway how we live in the future.References1.

“Troubleshooting” in engineering education?Here, responses of design students to Questions 1, 2, and 3 are summarized. Based on the responses toQuestion 1, where the importance of design is similarly recognized at the beginning and the end of thesemester, the respondents change their mind, regarding the importance of the teaching of troubleshootingwithin design courses. Regarding the Question 3 survey, we notice a progress in term of understanding ofthe difference between two aspects of problem solving: design and troubleshooting.

relevant. Our house design had to consider principles of sustainability because this concept has the power to change the way the society uses its resources. These necessary design changes helped us to realize that engineers face many limits in their designs, including availability of resources and budget. In addition, the necessity to make design changes made it clear to us that engineering design is not a one solution process. It requires a great deal of patience and an open mind, something we quickly learned when we had to think of how to effectively alter the house’s design without compromising the most desired features of the home.These quotes indicate that overall the project serves to increase
