Engineering is a hands-on discipline fullof lab- and project-based courses that require dedicated lab space, appropriate lab equipment, aworkshop with appropriate fabrication tools, computer labs with engineering software, studentproject “dirty floor” space, and faculty and staff office space. When the program launched in2013, the only dedicated space for Engineering was two faculty offices. An introductory designlab was held in a Physical and Chemical Sciences non-majors laboratory space, which offeredlittle in the way of fabrication tools or storage space for design projects. A MATLABprogramming course was held in a general computing lab on which the

. Interest in the production of electricity from renewable energy sources is rapidlyincreasing. Carbon tax, pollution reduction, and emissions trading legislation are paving the wayfor environmental accountability and sustainability in the industries. In the last two decades therehave been significant advances in the renewable energy technologies, as well as increaseddemands for engineers and technicians trained in these areas. These require the development ofinnovative curricula, new courses and laboratories to educate students to work in this rapidlydeveloping industry, or to help professionals become acquainted with these new technologies.However, the pace of change in education curriculum is growing exponentially due to legislativechanges
