students’ academic careers.IntroductionThere are several studies which detail the benefit of student collaboration and networking [1],[2]. However, there are not always adequate opportunities for students to network andcollaborate with other students and faculty outside of their home institution. Therefore a summerprogram was developed by the FEEDER (Foundations in Engineering Education for DistributedEnergy Resources) Consortium, in hopes to not only increase the ability for students to networkand collaborate, but to expose the students to a wide variety of technologies that they could notsee otherwise. This strengthens several of the soft skills that are very important in thedevelopment of a young engineer’s career, but are often times

The goal of the Alternative Energy Club is to incorporate alternative sourcesof energy into practical engineering applications and projects. One of the current projects is tobuild a solar powered car to race in the American Solar Challenge.6. AssessmentBoth formative and summative assessments were conducted. At the beginning of each lecture orlab activity, questions related to the previous lesson were asked and reflected upon. Studentswere also given opportunities to address issues that they felt they did not quite understand.Discussion then took place to explore reasons for lack of understanding. This

Additionally, collaboration was extremely important to this project as welearned how to communicate with different people and engineers as well as discovered how tospend our time the most effectively. According to our data, if the changes were made to the system,as mentioned previously, wide spread implementation of the RE-Brake could be possible. Thiscould lead to future innovations in regenerative braking technology, not only in bikes, but manyother forms of transportation.AcknowledgementThe authors would like to express their sincere thanks to Dr
