The previouslaboratory provided interesting challenges for the students to be able to get into the laboratoryspace and effectively use the equipment. The new laboratory exercises incorporate research ofselected robotics topics, new laboratory equipment, part

directly into required undergraduatecoursework. Engineering and technology educators must develop new curriculum solutions inadvanced energy technologies to fill the gaps in existing coursework and prepare the nextgeneration of students to support renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainability1-2.Moreover, according to a survey of U.S. electric utilities, the Center for Energy WorkforceDevelopment, the power and energy industry is already beginning to experience a shortage inengineers and skilled workers, which will become more severe in the next ten years, whenroughly one-half of the workforce will retire. There are also rapidly growing demands fortraining engineers and technicians in these areas, through courses and training sessions3-4

Chinese history. Leighbody andKidd also concluded "learning requires active experiences" in their survey3.Nowak4 ranked teaching strategies and learning activities within technology education. Thehighest ranked strategy was the one with product-oriented and laboratory-based content. Thesecond highest rank was for strategy using technology focus, and the lowest was for strategy thatrelied heavily on classroom orientation.Having hands-on laboratory is one condition, but the laboratory practices should be relevant toprepare graduates for their manufacturing career. Miller5 surveyed 25 department heads of USmanufacturing programs and concluded that an exemplary manufacturing program should: a) Require more technical coursework, b) Require or
