Some, such as the Catholic University of America and the authors’ institution,involve students in actually submitting a campus building for LEED-EBOM certification. Othersgo through parts of the process to expose students to the requirements and procedures, and somefocus more on preparing students for one of the accreditation examinations.

And while this approach has historically been sufficient for most students, it has been proventhat a more active and engaging learning approach works better for some students [3]. It isbecause of this that MTSU’s active engagement program is designed to offer active learningopportunities that are intended to develop skills that are directly related to real-world engineeringscenarios as they apply to transportation.Let us consider how the principals of energy conversion and conservation apply to anautomobile.

someobservable characteristics of the modeled system. To analyze the existing system, a model was created where pressure, temperature and flow in inlet and outlet, RPM and torque were selected as parameters and system efficiency was selected as output. The analysis found that the outlet pressure and RPM were the most significant parameters for optimizing efficiency. Further analysis was done using Excel considering only pressure and RPM. It was found that system gains maximum efficiency (89.34%) at pump pressure of 196 psi and speed of 1700 RPM. Conclusion A prototype of a hydraulic system is created in the laboratory and the performance data of the pump under all operating conditions within the range of the design limits is acquired

alone, nearly31,000 new jobs in the solar industry have been created in the U.S. bringing the total to 173,807– about 22% increase since 20131,2. Thus, it is of utmost importance to produce skilled engineersfor this rapidly growing industry by providing effective hands-on education at the universitylevel. Hands-on laboratory exercises substantially help to reinforce the theoretical knowledgegained from the lecture – thus improving the student learning outcome. In addition, it also helpsto develop the important experiment design, data acquisition, and data analysis skills desired bythe industry and are highly beneficial for future graduate level research.

In the present case study, inclusion of renewable energy credits and incentives results ina much higher net present value and a much shorter payback period. For comparison, a completeanalysis of the same PV system in Austin, Texas was done using System Adviser Model (SAM)software from National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Results of SAM were comparedwith the results of the simple analysis in Table 4.

mechanical energy into electrical energy is well suited toinvestigation by undergraduate engineering technology students. The concepts learned inintroductory courses are sufficient to allow the students to think of novel sources of mechanicalenergy and clever methods of capturing it. The apparatus required to make reasonably accuratemeasurements is quite simple and is easily constructed by the students in an engineeringtechnology laboratory. Students are often familiar with some of the consumer devices availablethat convert human-generated energy into electrical energy such as hand-cranked and hand-shaken flashlights. Therefore, as a foray into the area of energy harvesting, commerciallyavailable devices are purchased and reverse-engineered by the

Examples would include a “stuck”accelerator, defective cruise control, failure of the traction control, and loss of regenerativebraking, to name only a few. Students learn to employ Design Failure Mode Effects Analysis(DFMEA) techniques to identify potential problems affecting personal and vehicle safety as wellas reliability. Methods are implemented to remove or mitigate such failures. The effectivenessof their DFMEA is first demonstrated in the laboratory using the HIL and later on a chassisdynamometer before finally being driven on the road.Vehicle CompetitionWhile

Case studies:Design of Argonne National Laboratories:As an example, the Argonne National Laboratories, designed by OWP/P (architectureand MEP design and consulting company), includes a passive ventilation system createdby using wind towers all along the building to the top. The wind tower works by creatinga pressure differential. The wind blowing over the top of the tower creates a lowerpressure than the atmospheric pressure inside the building. This difference in pressurecauses the air to flow naturally up and out of the top of the building. Stack effects createdwith wind towers is an old concept that has improved over the years with bettertechnology and electronic controls
