An inverter is employed to convert the DC voltage from thebattery bank to 110 volt AC at 60 Hz frequency that is identical to the power from the electricoutlet on the wall. This project will enable students to acquire an essential foundation towardshow to design and build the solar PV systems for various applications. The students will alsolearn the code compliances required by National Electric Code (NEC) during the system designprocess.Based on the available components, the target of this pilot project is to build two solar chargingstations with different capacities.

The PLC analog output does not provideenough current to drive the train, so a power op-amp circuit is used. The track switches require18 V ac, so the 120 V outputs are used to control an 18 V supply via relays.The student response to using this system has been extremely positive. The system has beenused by electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering students, as well as by electrical andmechanical technology students. As a senior design project, the base system was expanded intoan elaborate system with four optical sensors, two inductive proximity sensors, and a limit switchthat could allow two trains to operate simultaneously.

Moreover, piezoelectricity hasthe ability to generate an electric potential of elements such as crystals and some types ofceramics from a mechanical stress [7]. If the piezoelectric material is not short circuited, theapplied mechanical stress induces a voltage across the material.

In addition, this approach included a short onlinequiz through BlackboardTM before each course module and a short quiz at the start of classsession after each course module to improve student participation. In fact, a 2010 U.S.Department of Education report1 concluded that “Instruction combining online and face-to-faceelements had a larger advantage relative to purely face-to-face instruction than did purely onlineinstruction”.

This curriculum focused mostly on engineeringfields that are relevant to Caltrans missions, and did not provide students the opportunity toexplore the many different pathways to the various engineering career options.In 2010, the SEI curriculum was drastically revised in order to present a more balancedcurriculum that introduces participants to the major areas of engineering. This revised SEIcurriculum—jointly developed and taught by community college and university engineeringfaculty—features lectures, hands-on workshops, demonstrations, panels, field trips, team-building activities, social events, and group projects. The curriculum introduces students to
