future.In response to these needs, the California Regional Consortium for Engineering Advances inTechnological Education (CREATE) proposed the development of international learningexchanges to provide a cohort of renewable energy faculty with relevant international exposurein their discipline. As a result, the National Science Foundation’s Advanced TechnologicalEducation program funded two CREATE learning exchanges. Participants were charged withlearning how their international peers had met similar challenges in terms of teaching renewableenergy technicians, with expanding their knowledge of the global renewable energy sector, andwith sharing the results of their study. Fourteen nationally recognized educators from across theU.S. were selected to

anticipation of future expansion, the conductor sizingand other apparatus should be able to accommodate 100 PBKs. The final design of the energykiosk is shown in Figure 3. Page 26.1413.7 Figure 3. Final design of the energy kiosk.The refined design was used to write a Request for Proposal (RFP) from three Kenyan vendors tosupply equipment (other than the PBKs) and install the system. A core element in manydevelopment projects that are associated with a university is that the team of student volunteersdo most of the installation. Hiring a contractor to do this work is anathema to this mode ofoperation. However, the students

Each committee members’ rankings wereaggregated equally to figure out the overall student eligibility ranking.Finally, the candidates were contacted with official scholarship offer letters. The selection ofseven candidates whom all accepted the offers were realized in two rounds of selection cycle. Inorder to implement an evaluation plan with the purpose of measuring this project’s early impactin attracting and recruiting students for careers in nuclear related fields, a first semester intakesurvey of not only award candidates but their peers in the

Modify code written in 2. to output the phase impedance matrix and calculate the shunt admittance matrix 4. Develop a single-phase transformer model 5. Develop a single-phase autotransformer model 6. Develop a voltage source (ideal substation) modelUsing 1-6 students were asked to write a professional report based on their simulator. This wasan open-ended assignment in which students had control over how they wanted to presenttheir simulator to an investor. Students were asked to come up with a couple of test casesshowing its functionality and were asked to use as many concepts from the course as
