It is important to encourage students to learn to use suchkind of software packages that work with renewable energy systems. Because by taking theadvantage of such tools students can learn and adapt better solutions to fix the energy problemissues. It is is important to keep in mind that how we are using the energy today will shape theway how we live in the future.References1.

transactional frame ofmind: their attention was on how the activity would meet their course requirements and expandtheir career-related experience. The engineering students approached the project from a relationalframe of mind; their attention was on the needs of the client. The end result was that the client,who had participated in three consecutive years of “service learning” projects, declined toparticipate in future collaborations.One of the consequences of putting a priority on the relationships is that the completion ofprescribed projects may then be secondary. Task oriented people may find these types of CEprojects as “accomplishing little” because the accomplishments are not in the visible physicaldomain. When the focus is “relational,” the
