These systems typicallycomprise a set of solar panels, batteries to provide electricity when solar power is not available, e.g. atnight, and may employ a fossil-fueled generator to also provide backup power.

Smaller sectors include operations to mine Titanium, Copper,Chrome and other lesser minerals according to the Minerals Council of South Africa (MCSA)[1] . The industry was reported to have employed 458,954 people in 2021 with a contributionof approximately R480.9 Billion South African Rands (~US$26.8 Bn) to the country’s GDPin that same year [2].

Despite a decrease in the enrollment rate of new international studentsby 34% for undergraduates and 45% for graduates compared to 2019/2020, close to 1 millionstudents still chose to come to the US for their education [1]. More than 80% of these students arepursuing advanced degrees in STEM [2]. Why has the US been able to attract so many internationalstudents into STEM for higher education? Several reasons have been suggested in the literature -the availability of state-of-the-art research labs, opportunities to embark on ground-breakingresearch, the presence of highly qualified researchers, and the benefits of working withintellectuals from other parts of the world [3].

The standard for each competition includes both a male and female driver. During the1/2-mile terrain competition, teams earn points based on stages successfully passed, within an 8-minute time limit. Points are also earned through pre and post challenges that depend on theassembly of the vehicle, and the design of the rover.
