presentations from industry leaders and policymakers—renewable energy is changing so quickly, that it is important for students to gain information from “top name” leaders in the renewable energy marketplace as well as from national and state policymakers who make rules that govern markets and create incentives.  Team-based problem solving. Students will work together to create optimal energy system designs for sustainable communities. The students will use a web-based free shareware program known as HOMER™, which is available for download from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)-- http://www.nrel.gov/homer/.  Class discussion. We will use the assigned texts, guest presentations and

the topic in general,they can be much more thorough in their research. This debate helps them discover and exploremuch more than they learn in the lectures. Knowing how to solder electrical components could be a worthwhile skill for constructingsome of the projects. With this in mind, a laboratory session is planned for the students about thebasics of soldering, as well as the basics of electronic devices. This aids their attaining a morepractical perspective of the theoretical concepts that they have heard. For the practice session,each of the students and teachers is given a soldering kit containing instructions and materials tobuild a basic 555 timer circuit. This practical work is fun and interesting, given the fact that theyall have

systems. Where appropriate, these exercises should involve team-based work among students. Effectiveness and practicality of designs should be key components of the evaluation of students’ work.If design projects are used, students should be required to develop, follow, and periodicallyprogress report on their design developments. Evaluation should consider the quality of thepresentations and the professionalism demonstrated by the students.The proposed IPFC-IMD system, which is implemented mainly with discrete components,provides various teaching components to enhance EMET 325 Electric Drives course. It will beuseful for the practical dc and ac motor drive systems sections. Possible teaching topics and theirbrief explanations are listed
