Bycombining various electrical energy sources (solar, hydro and wind), as well as geothermal unitsand biomass for heat, the camp can provide its own energy to run with minimum draw from theGrid. The system will nearly offset the peak demand of the building of concern. Because thisdesign levels the camp’s enormous demand charges, the electricity bills

53 Research and Projects-Based Courses to Validate Practical Engineering Solution Techniques Jeff Ashworth and Will Quinn Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott CampusAbstractMany courses in engineering education are based on teaching the undergraduate student how to solveengineering problems without including the knowledge of what they are solving or why they are using aparticular technique. Professors sometimes propose a computer solution or technique the student doesnot understand; therefore, the student cannot evaluate the accuracy of the results. Without knowledge

Its importance is also reflectedin several of the ABET criteria for accreditation of engineering programs (Criterion 3), as shownbelow1: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.While the Capstone Design project usually provides a mechanism for applying engineeringanalysis beyond the context of a topical course, it also often highlights the difficulty studentshave in applying prior knowledge in new situations.
