With this network, 24VDC power isrouted throughout the room via conductors embedded in the drop-ceiling support structure. Userscan then tap into the low voltage supply from any location in the room. The microgrid effort isorganized by a consortium of industry and university partners exploring the use of low voltageDC indoor power distribution for a variety of commercial

Meanwhile, they also learned a lot: 1. Engineering truly can affect people’s lives even in a remote region. 2. The best technology is not necessary the state-of-art technology, but the one suitable for the settings and meet the needs. 3. The engineering solution is subject to the working constraints, especially the local infrastructure. 4.

Thissuccess prompted the University System to implement a Regents’ Engineering TransferProgram (RETP) based on the MGC program that would facilitate the transfer of highly-qualified students from other state institutions to Georgia Tech to complete their engineeringdegree. Likewise, many students attend MGC for two years before transferring to SouthernPolytechnic State University or Georgia Southern University to complete the requirements for aBachelor’s degree in Engineering Technology. To complement this strength in its engineeringcurriculum MGC in 1997 began two new initiatives: (1) preliminary approval was granted toestablish a new

In recognition of thisimportance, academic institutions allocate substantial resources to provide such support insideand outside of class. Support can take on a range of different forms and, in thinking holisticallyabout all support mechanisms, colleges are often faced with the challenge of identifying theefficacy of its investments in student support.
