. It is time for creation of Power EngineeringEducation Consortium. Advantages of such close cooperation are: 1. Mutual use of facilities (laboratory and others) for more efficient allocation of funds for equipment. 2. Coordination of curriculum development at different levels, identification of talented students for possible recruitment by educational and industrial partners. 3. Cooperation on undergraduate and graduate research, both basic and applied. 4. International cooperation with partnering institutions.It is obvious that utilizing combined resources would allow addressing industry and academianeeds more efficiently, both in terms of educating workforce and research and

The present research expands the features of the programto include prescribed heat flux boundary conditions as well as convective boundary conditions.Moreover, the expanded program also handles transient cases so that students can watchtemperature changes in a material on a real-time basis. The addition of these boundaryconditions also now allows one dimensional problems to be solved by specifying a zero heat fluxcondition on opposing sides of the body.The solutions for the original version of the program were generated using a code developed forSandia National Laboratory which was DOS based.

alternative to TiO2 in Gratzel-type solar cells.Conclusion “Application of Nanotechnology for Batteries, Solar, and Fuel Cells” is one of thetargeted undergraduate courses developed to highlight the potential of nano-materials in theenergy area. Integrated lecture/laboratory format is adopted to allow this three credit hourscourse to cover the following topics: introduction to the basics of nanoscale science,technology, and engineering. The approach of this industry-responsive course is to offerproject-oriented modules which are consistent with the ASU Polytechnic mission ofcombining academic content with latest industrial practices. The modules offered in thiscourse place broad exposure to the scientific and engineering principles along with
