Significant progress has been made over the last few years inthe research and development of renewable energy systems such as wind, sea-wave andsolar energy systems. Among these resources, solar energy and wind are considered the mostpromising, reliable, abundant, and environment friendly renewable energy source [1, 2]. Most ofthese energies are dependent on parameters such as time of the day, presence of sun or speed ofthe wind. The energy production from these resources will be drastically affected as theseparameters change. Storage systems such as battery banks are utilized to store the surplus of theproduced energy from these renewable sources. Energy storage then becomes an essentialcomponent

The obvious next step for us was to add a real robot arm to the lab configuration.We have worked with well over a hundred students at the high school level and a small number at thecollege level successfully building robot arms similar to the one shown in this paper.

Toaccommodate this design, the English instructor was tasked with two challenges: 1) acceptstudents into the composition class regardless of English placement (so they could enter thecohort according to their math placement), and 2) create something special for Engineeringstudents (in order that they might begin to identify as engineers).
