internshipprograms as means of building practical industry experience. However, designing courses toinclude cross-disciplinary topics, such as smart grids (SGs), distributed generation or renewableenergy systems (RES) or to keep students from diverse backgrounds engaged can be quite achallenge for instructors14,19-28. In our view, these curricular and pedagogical challenges can beaddressed by bringing research topics, projects and integrated laboratory experiences into powerand energy courses. One of the advantages of these approaches is that the impacts on the existingcurriculum, space, equipment and financial requirements are minimal23-25, 28.This paper describes efforts being undertaken at our university to revise, revitalize and updatethe power

This requires the development ofinnovative curricula, new courses and new laboratories to educate students to work in these fastchanging industries. Engineering education moves into the twenty first century charged with anenvironmental agenda to respond to new economic realities. Enabling students to practice self-directed learning, to find solutions to design problems that are sustainable and to recognize thatthey are part of a global community are just a few of our educational goals.

As a follow-up to the ARET study Dr. O’Neill and Dr. Irizarry led a rooftop solar challenge project under DOE’s SunShot Initiative. Three graduate students and six undergraduate students participated in this project. The team identified, analyzed, and provided best practices that could overcome processing and planning obstacles that impede a faster growth of rooftop PV systems.
