Also, students from other majors (engineering andnon-engineering) may add this minor to their plan of study.The newly introduced minor in Green Energy and Sustainability will be in effect starting nextAY 2017-2018, however the courses associated with this minor have been successfully taught forseveral years already. The main target student population for this minor would be students of allmajors in College of Engineering, mainly those that would like to have a learning-by-discoverytype of experience. Also, the target population would include students from other majorsthroughout the university, interested in pairing their major with a

3One of the biggest alterations made was the use of the blades from a plastic desk fan against a biketire to turn an electric motor. This design failed as well due to the weakness of the plastic of theblades. Although, the choice to use fan blades was changed, the next design used the idea ofrunning a smaller wheel against the tire. This next design planned to run a gear against the tire ofthe bike, without the thermoelectric generators. This was a much safer idea since the pieces wouldbe running against the tire instead of the delicate spokes. However, this design was still not withoutits flaws. To increase friction and traction between the wheel of the generator and the tire, thegenerator wheel would have required teeth, which would have

Students decided to use an Air Conditioner(HVAC) unit to test the TEG unit and do simulation according to the temperature environment inthe unit. The simulation is a thermal analysis using the finite element method. There is nostructural analysis. The components are oriented out of plan with each other, not because ofstructural deformation, but because the hot and cold lines in the condenser unit were not parallelto each other and we wanted to avoid putting a mechanical load on the thermoelectric unit. Aflexible component was later added to the system to prevent mechanical loading of thethermoelectric module due to either thermal stress/strain or vibration. Here

current trend of consuming fifty times more energy than onecentury ago [18]. Developing countries face the hardest challenge in providing solutions to the increases inelectrical power demand and the tightening of global environmental standards; these challenges canhowever, be overcome with proper planning and adequate participation from governmental and localbodies, companies and academic institutions. The way to approach a solution lies in the integration of renewable energy sources into the existingenergy market, to gradually substitute the conventional power sources, satisfying all electrical energy needsin an affordable, reliable, efficient and sustainable manner.
