By the end of the STEM andEnergy Leadership program, students will complete a total of 60 hours of classes which willinclude theoretical and hands-on work as well as components of active learning. This programaims to increase students’ familiarity with engineering, engineering majors, energy, challenges inthe field of energy along with global challenges in sustainability, energy and engineering.Certain projects will require students to work in teams which will also give them the opportunityto work with other students towards a shared goal.

When faculty and/or researchers observe student communities, the lens ofobservation is clouded by biases introduced by the non-student observer’s role as evaluator,administrator, and at times, course instructor. These observer biases are well known in theresearch literature and can be compounded by actor biases (students being observed), such thatstudents may significantly alter their behaviors when observed by non-students.

Theyalso helped to engage local K-12 students through various outreach programs. In addition, theMindstorms NXT kits were used in some higher level undergraduate engineering courses likeIndustrial Robotics and Senior Design Projects. There, students used LabVIEW to program therobots. Complex tasks, however, were not achievable due to the NXTs‟ memory size limitations.Also, since last year, more frequent hardware failures have occurred in these robotic kits andsome of the programmable bricks

Technological change has accelerated rapidly to apoint where what is new today is obsolete tomorrow. No longer are products repaired for futureuse as they were for centuries, they are simply thrown away and replaced with new models withmore features. This is especially true for technological artifacts from the past hundred or soyears. The artifacts remaining were often left in attics, basements, sheds, closets, and otheroverlooked spaces.
