Objectives DefinedThe five students soon asked: If samples could be taken more often than the utility’s mandatedfifteen minute intervals, would the demand numbers routinely be less that the utility claimed? Ifso, could the university then negotiate the demand piece of its electric power bill to be less?Concurrently, the Facilities Director asked the five students to find out 1) how accurate is thepublic electrical utility’s demand and energy data? and 2) How can gateway metering bestsupport his long-term plan to set up an emergency microgrid for the university? Answering allthese questions required advanced technology that he lacked and had been unable to afford.Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL), the world’s leader in electric power
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields remains apriority. A student’s interest in a STEM major often begins at the precollege level, and theirprecollege experience can determine their later academic trajectory. While this interest oftendevelops in middle school or earlier, a student’s high school experience can affect whether astudent maintains or loses their interest. In order to understand a student’s high schoolexperience, this study focuses on the high school factors, student demographic characteristics,and academic achievement factors that inform college-going and STEM major choice. For thisstudy, data come from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09), which is anationally representative longitudinal

Math was implemented, notas rote memory and use/re-use of given formulas, but as a form of project-based learning; as thelanguage of science, technology, and engineering; and, as a place of critical thinking anddiscovery [8].Because the theme of the camp was sustainability, the authors titled the first math activity “TrashMath.” To begin the activity, seven participants and six instructors formed three groups of fourto five individuals and collected roadside trash at three sites near the TMCC campus.

In “The Future of Jobs Report 2020”, the world economic forum (WEF) built a list often skills that will be most required in jobs by 2025, one of them being “technology design andprogramming”. In response to the above, in recent years, many projects have been launched toincrease programming knowledge for different audiences and in different parts of the world. Oneof these projects was developed through a collaboration between a university in Colombia and
