Our goal was toprovide enough theory to allow the students to progress rapidly in the laboratory exercises. Thecurriculum was divided into ten 2.25 contact hour sessions. We also planned a related session onsupercomputers and modeling. The session on supercomputers was taught by a Department ofMathematics faculty member. Also, a field trip was taken to the National Center forAtmospheric Research (NCAR) - Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC) and a nearby hightechnology Walmart regional distribution center

Several participants commented on theexamples of energy independent communities that were visited as part of the experience notingthat every community or geographic location has different natural resources available forrenewable energy production. Characterization of these assets is a key component of energypolicy and planning, and should be foundational knowledge for students seeking to becomefuture energy engineers and technicians. As one participant put it, “A key outcome of theinternational experience is that renewables are not a separate energy source or training, they arejust a part of the overall energy mix – a mix often

In our analysis, we see the imposition of this schedule quickly give rise to afeeling described consistently as “treading water”. There is a constant pressure to plan classesand learn content which is amplified by the instructor’s preference for having course contentplanned far in advance. Statements like “I feel like I am treading water because most days I amonly one step ahead of the students” (Week 9) and “I am currently only one step or less ahead ofthe
