tested in the large return section of the John Harper wind tunnel at Georgia Institute of Technology. The set up is shown in Figure 2. This experiment yielded data on the behavior of highly flexible blades, but was otherwise a failure in power generation. An improved model with much more rigid blades is being built, with the blade construction effort pictured in Figure 3. The ultimate aim is to integrate such machines with other renewable generators, sharing the same footprint and power control systems. In 2006-07, progress was rapid, with one Master’s degree candidate working on it at full speed (he was later recruited by a wind energy company

Many programs are also seeking toanswer this call by integrating more hands-on activities and active learning in lower-divisioncourses, which require more facilitation than the traditional large lectures. This sharply increasesthe need for teaching resources compared to traditional, large-lecture format courses. Because oftime and budget constraints, more and more engineering graduate students are assuming teachingresponsibilities, especially in introductory courses.In 2007, the last year for which data are available, more than 70,000 full-time graduate studentsin science and engineering
