growing global environmental concerns overtheir use for the generation of electric power have increased the interest in the utilizationof renewable energy. This also raises the needs for engineering and sciences programs toprovide training in the areas of renewable energy technology. New programs, courses andsupport laboratories need to be developed and implemented. This paper describes thedevelopment of a design module that forms part of a project-based course in solar-windenergy systems taught at one of the author’s former institution during the Winter 2006term. Course materials were developed during the summer 2005 and fall 2006. Thismodule, which is part of the course-support laboratory, consists of a decision supportsoftware application used

truth is that the patentability of an invention, and the right to sell and make the inventionwithout infringement of another patent, are completely unrelated. By misunderstanding thisconcept, engineers may eventually lose patent rights or infringe the patent rights of a competitor.More importantly, engineers may fail to gain adequate funding for their technology and mayconsequently fail to introduce, sell, and make an impact with their technology.Attempts to Educate EngineersPatent law courses are offered to engineering students at many of the top engineering schools,including: • Massachusetts Institute of Technology (6.901: Inventions and Patents)1, • Stanford University (ME208: Patent Law and Strategy)2, • University of Illinois
