L.B. Bosman, J. Brinker, and K.A. WalzAbstract: The German Energiewende is the planned transition by Germany to a low carbon,environmentally sound, reliable, and affordable energy supply. This paper reports on a U.S.faculty international study program, which took place in May 2019, to explore the intersection ofthe German renewable energy and energy storage sectors. The international program includedeleven instructional faculty from throughout the United States on a two
is designed to support online coursedevelopment. His application was accepted in Dec. 2018 and he developed the course in spring2019 in collaboration with a professional instructional designer. The course was offered in summer2019. The course demographics, student’s performance results, and student feedback are comparedbetween spring 2019 when the course was taught face-to-face and summer 2019 when it was taughtonline. The student performance indicated that the drop, fail, or withdrawal (DFW) rate was notmeaningfully impacted by the mode of delivery. However, the students’ final GPA in the course(before any form of adjustments or curving), improved from 81/100 in the face-to-face class to 88in the online class. Also, the rate of homework

homework quizzes asan alternative to grading homework. Even if the student-learning results are not as dramatic as inthis study, in-class homework quizzes do greatly reduce the issue of knowing whose work isactually being assessed and used as part of a course grade as it is much more difficult forstudents to submit the work of others as their own on such a quiz.References[1] “Flipped Classroom?” https://facultyinnovate.utexas.edu/flipped-classroom Last queried:December 2019.[2] M.H.

Energy Engineering EducationAbstractThe Question Formulation Technique (QFT), a powerful yet simple teaching strategy recentlyfeatured in an ASEE online webinar, teaches students how to formulate, work with, improve, anduse their own questions. As a result, students become more confident researchers and bettervalue the role of question formulation in the learning process [1]. While the QFT has beenwidely used in other educational settings, its adoption in higher education has recently beenaccelerated in-part because of a National Science Foundation research study. In this work wedemonstrate two unique, innovative ways to integrate the QFT as a teaching strategy forrenewable energy engineering students. First, we will make visible how the QFT was
