hybrid power systems and microgrids. The topics covered include the needs andbenefits of distributed generation, wind and solar energy potential assessment, models of energystorage devices, power electronic interfacing, life cycle assessment and cost analysis, and gridintegration issues. The benefit of such broad coverage is to give the students a comprehensiveview of the various RES components. Each student picks one area to explore further by studyingand presenting one or two research paper(s) to the class as well as doing an end-of-term projectdeveloping a written report and presenting the results of their work to the entire class.The objective of this course is to present and introduce the students to various renewable energytopologies and

One of the difficulties in developing a project for students is finding a device or systemthat will inspire interest and reward successful completion of the objectives. A Theremin is anideal project because of the adaptability of the circuits and the resultant instrument is a uniquedemonstration piece. The Theremin was invented in the early 1900’s by Lev Theremin1 andpatented in 1928 and marketed by RCA. It is considered the world’s first electronic instrument.The most unique

These changes were incorporated to ensurethat the program met the goals and kept its critical components (i.e., ENG 294 course, dual-mentoring, and team-based structure).

that the population in the United States is nolonger as diverse as it once was[5]. As people have emigrated from all parts of the world,cultural groups are represented in much different percentages than 10 years ago. Over the lastcentury much of the diversity evident in the early 1900’s has assimilated into what is referred toas a melting pot, constantly changing. However, universities do not reflect the type and level ofdiversity of the current population[2, 3]. Both of the engineering and engineering technologyprograms, despite higher levels of one underrepresented group or another, still has much higherlevels of white students. Thus the general population that was once in the minority are moving toa more balanced number as related to the

were interested inhelping the campers afraid of swimming to get into the pool and enjoy without necessarilyhaving to swim. As a solution for their problem statement, they designed an underwater domewith a slide used to enter it from the top of the pool.Team 26 “sailor scouts” and team 36 “white tigers” had similar interests. Figure 3 shows theirprototypes. They brainstormed to find solutions to get from one station to another without havingto walk. Team 26 made an inflatable trampoline cart with rails that would be pulled by theirteam leader, while team 36’s cart would be driven by motors and power. Team 26 also addedrails for safety of the passengers; they also made the cart soft so it would go through narrowspaces, and made it inflatable so
