research on batteries for grid scale energy storage including a comprehensive review of theleading battery technologies such as lead acid battery, nickel iron, aqueous ‘rocking-chair’, nickelcadmium, and metal air cells. These presentations were peer-evaluated for presentation skills as well ason content presented.SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONSThe curriculum of Master of Engineering in Energy Systems is firmly rooted in energy technology andincludes exposure to breadth as well as to the interface with economic and social (public) decisionprocesses. Students are exposed to business of energy and to practicing professionals, and have theopportunity to participate in internship or co-op experience as an extension of this course that makesup the rest of the
pipeline in three areas including gifted education, special education, and urban education.Ms. Carol Villanueva-Perez, Ball State University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Barriers to Persistence of Engineering Students with Disabilities: A Review of LiteratureAbstractUndergraduate student retention is dependent not only on academic aptitude, but also on non-academic factors, which include the ability to integrate fully into their academicenvironments. Non-academic factors are likely to more significantly impact the success ofstudents with disabilities compared to their peers who do not have disabilities, especially withinscience, technology, engineering, and
