building that the green roof was being designed for was the Technology Center,more commonly called the Tech Center. It originally housed the Engineering Department, andwas one of the first buildings built for campus. When it was constructed, it was intended to havea second story put on top at a later date, so the roof was designed to be a floor to that secondstory, and there are two flights of stairs and even an elevator that connect to the roof. Thesecond story was never added, and the roof of the building therefore was expected to besufficient to support the green roof. This expectation was confirmed by the analysis done in thecivil electives. The roof of the Tech Center is clearly visible from several other campusbuildings, so a green roof

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND When used in concert, microgrid and smart grid technologies have the ability totransform the way power is delivered. A microgrid is a localized energy grid with a colocated setof power generation sources and loads, with autonomous control, which can operateindependently of the traditional power grid [1]. As a result of this ability for autonomous control,it is possible for microgrids to connect to the main power grid or act in an “islanded” mode.Microgrids can be more efficient than traditional grids due to the

technology has not advanced as rapidly as processor power consumption, and this limits the mean time between recharges. • The more obvious approaches to constraining power consumption, such as disk spindown and turning off the screen have already been implemented. More complex approaches are now being pursued for additional savings. • The aggregate power consumption of computers is no longer a negligible fraction of the total power consumption in the United States4. Approaches to reduce such power consumption can therefore be expected to make a measurable impact on the overall power consumed in the country.There has been very little done in electrical engineering curricula to develop students’ skills andabilities to
