New textbooks dealingwith alternative and renewable energy resources have been published recently. Manyuniversities have also started offering classes on renewable and alternative energy courseto both undergraduate and graduate students. Simulation and analysis tools on thesealternative energy resources may be useful in conducting these classes. This papercompares some of these simulation tools and evaluates their effectiveness based on theiruse during an elective course at Lamar University. During the course, the students arerequired to complete a design project on
