B.S. in Building Construction Management. He earned his M.S. in Urban Planning from Columbia University where he investigated critical environmental justice issues in New York City. His 2010 Ph.D. from Arizona State University was the nation’s first in sustainability. His research, which has been widely published, focuses on the use of renewable energy systems and sustainable building strategies to reduce negative impacts of urbanization.

flexibility, and 4) increasedinteraction and engagement. A major challenge for the field of engineering stems from theincorporation of laboratory and design components critical to post-graduation student performancein the workforce. [1]There are three main types of student laboratories 1) on-site laboratories, 2) virtual laboratories,and 3) remote laboratories. On-site laboratories were most common pre-COVID, but are currentlyproblematic because of health concerns. Virtual laboratories, by contrast, are safe, but have manypedagogical drawbacks. Remote laboratories provide the best of both worlds offering students asafe and hands-on experience. In fact, literature shows that students can favor these remote labexperiences over even on-site laboratories

. In this article, I will expand on my experience with mentoring STEM early collegestudents to achieve a higher level of understanding of power plants. The aim is to contribute tothe preparation of a STEM pipeline in the field of engineering and advanced manufacturing. Thepipeline for research and higher education begins specifically at an early age, where students areencouraged to peruse STEM-related programs. Our program is mainly oriented toward highschool, and early college students and continue through the completion of a college degree inSTEM areas. In this paper, we discuss the project design program from a student's perspective andexperience gained in engineering, integration, written, and oral communication. Themethodology used

in electrical engineering with a specialization in power conversion. He also obtained his master’s degree in electrical engineering and bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering (with minor in electrical engineering) all from Pitt. He was also one of the first original R.K. Mellon graduate student fellows through the Center for Energy at Pitt. Dr. Grainger’s research interests are in electric power conversion, medium to high voltage power elec- tronics (HVDC and STATCOM), general power electronic converter design (topology, controller design, magnetics), resonant converters and high power density design, power semiconductor evaluation (SiC and GaN) and reliability assessment, military power systems, DC system

. Solar PV, wind and otherrenewable sources of energy are being integrated with DEGs to help reduce the fuel consumedby the DEGs, significantly reducing the electricity cost. The best such projects are the ones,involving renewable energy and energy storage technologies, combining student design andfaculty research efforts with private industry collaboration. The goal of such student designproject is to develop a hybrid power system for a remote off-grid application, integratingrenewable energy sources, energy storage units and smart control and power management withexisting fossil fuel based energy sources. The criteria for the design include: finding the mosteconomical solution in terms of lifecycle costs, making the best use of available
