Educational access may also require additionaltechnical experts or sub-contractors to work on the design and installation of the system.Engagement of the school’s facility managers and faculty members early in the process isessential.

I wish more courses would tell students what it is really like out there. I use this aspect of the course when writing cover letters or talking to recruiters. • The course required a lot of research and creativity because the subject material is not frequently touched upon by many classes. • I thought that this course challenged me to think a lot more than most other courses at this level.

Over the next half hour we saw the meter stay fairly constant around 42 VDC with a peakof 51VDC. By comparing wind speed reading from the anemometer our data showed a 20 mphwind would generate around 42VDC. One area of concern was the tail vane furling system; itdid not seem to be operating like it was designed too operate. The design is set to limit theturbine speed rpm by turning the blades away from strong winds and keep the turbine fromrotating above specific rpm values.Using the wind data from the Iowa Energy Center 29 it was determined that we could expectaverage wind results for our chosen tower location in Northwest Iowa as seen in Table

By embracing a systems engineering approach and thephilosophies of Deming, Japanese automakers challenged American automakers with anapproach that was incompatible with the established industry paradigms (5). The result has putAmerican automakers, and the manufacturers who supply them, on their heels for more than 25years.It has been a long, hard struggle for automobile manufacturers to apply the
