Furthermore, the information is also used in a graduate levelpublic works engineering and management class that is offered each fall semester. Thismakes it relevant to the theme of the ASEE Graduate Studies Division.IntroductionThe solar energy is an ideal energy can gain from the sun, as a type of renewable energy, solarenergy has its advantage: widespread, low contamination and flexibility. High concentratedphotovoltaics is new solar technology which can produce electricity cost-effectively. Byusing a reflection system to concentrate solar radiation can decrease cost and increase theefficiency. HCPV uses cooling

Students were directed to undertake engineeringdesigns in specialized areas of transportation engineering, technology and management. Designtopics related to these areas ranged from Flexible Pavements, Rigid Pavements, Asphalt PavingTechnology and Pavement Rehabilitation, to Signalized Traffic Intersections. These topicscovered not only conventional transportation systems but also intelligent transportation systems.The students’ presentations were peer-graded.The extent of improvement in design, discovery, and learning was documented extensively byapplying appropriate statistical tests.

host schools. Colleges and universities in the United States have become increasingly reliant on international students to fill Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)-related graduate programs and support their STEM-related research agendas and patent generation. Moreover, because demand among foreign students for a U.S. degree seems unlimited, many colleges and universities have seen them as a quick fix for offsetting lagging interest among domestic students in graduate education, especially in STEM fields. These international students represent real revenues and significant enrollments. According to the latest data from National Center for Educational Statistics

To achieve this goal activities encompass thethree areas that include recruitment, retention, and enrichment. Recruitment initiatives focus onstrategic partnerships, discipline-based events, student collaborations, summer research programsand visitation programs. Retention objectives are directed at scholars, tutoring, summer transitionprograms, and a faculty mentoring network. A primary goal of the Scholars enrichment programis to encourage Scholars to pursue careers as faculty members
