systems, and hydrogen fuelcell units [10].Reed and Stanchina from the University of Pittsburgh urged the need for new curriculum tofocus on the emerging technologies in electrical power systems such as smart grid and cleanenergy integration [11 ]. Their work on smart grid education model approaches in engineeringcurricula provided one of the best models of engineering education in power electronics andpower systems. Grinberg and Safiuddin developed a multi-institutional smart grid laboratory toenhance modern power systems education and to satisfy the needs of new technology as a resultof the skills shortages and the aging power engineering professional workforce [12].

level classrooms. For example, the NEED Project offers an entire curriculum of K-12 energy education lessons and projects [1]. The KidWind Project, meanwhile, developed a setof interactive wind energy kits [2] and, in collaboration with the National Renewable EnergyLaboratory (NREL) and the U.S. Department of Energy, led the development of the annual U.S.Collegiate Wind Competition [3]. The website Sciencing has developed a tutorial for students tobuild homemade electric generators [4], and the website teacherstryscience.org has developed atutorial lesson plan around constructing a wind turbine generator [5]. The ElectricalConstruction & Maintenance magazine recently reported that a Florida high school student hasutilized these same

The methodology used to evaluate the effectiveness of this class in terms of learningoutcomes is also described.Building Automation:The main objective of a Building Automation System (BAS) is to acquire the completeautonomous control of an entire building. Basically, a BAS is designed to monitor and control themechanical, security, fire, lighting, HVAC and humidity control and ventilation systems in abuilding or across several buildings [1] to [5].The BAS is composed of electronic devices and a computer networking that is able to keepbuilding indoor conditions within a specified range, light rooms based on an occupancy schedule,monitor

laboratory for each individualcourse is designed to reinforce basic concepts but have no larger purpose in the curriculum suchas logically connecting to the laboratory work completed in earlier or in future courses; thelaboratory exercises are completed by the students in different laboratory courses withoutrealizing that the concepts learned are all contributing to the development of truly integratedsystems, as the ones used in industry. In the integrated laboratory settings the students aredeveloping deeper understanding of the engineering subjects, the interconnections betweenvarious electrical engineering topics or areas, giving them an overall understanding of a systemfunctionalities, features and characteristics.

variety of disciplines, including computer science, mechanicalengineering, and sustainability-focused programs, and they create opportunities forinterdisciplinary problem solving.IntroductionEnergy education can be found in many disciplines throughout a college curriculum. The basiclaws of the conservation of energy and an introduction to its many forms is integral to first-yearphysics coursework. Early environmental science courses emphasize the impacts of energyextraction and conversion on natural systems. Later courses in environmental studies explorenatural resources used to harvest energy. Business schools offer courses in the areas of energyand environmental economics. Traditional engineering disciplines study energy transformation,and

extended beyond my discipline curriculum and I believe it has a great impact on improving my professional skills preparing me for my future career. While participating in this project, I had the opportunity to practice and integrate much of the knowledge I learned during my three years of course work as an undergraduate student. Working in the renewable energy lab in a team of two with an expert professor, enhanced my communication abilities; team working skills; and added a valuable experience that I could not obtain during my usual course work. Throughout the time I spent working on this project, I had the chance to express my ideas and think critically and independently in solving related problems
