One of the challenges with these projects was a lack ofdedicated space in the school, requiring the majority of the work do be done after school andweekends. To maximize student learning opportunities during the school day a dedicated EnergyLab is now under construction at Ponaganset and is scheduled for completion during the 2009-2010 school year.Introduction The environmental effects of industrial society are considerable, and the fossil fuels themodern world relies upon are in limited supply.

The class met for 2 hours 3 times each week, very similar to other reports on studio formatinstruction [3]. The temporary studio classroom, shown on Figure 3, is typically used for computer science courses.Hence, it is fully equipped with computer stations. New equipment was purchased for the first ECE laboratory. Onlyfive ECE lab stations were needed for fall 2011 and they were set up in the two front rows of the room. Eachworkstation is equipped with stand-alone instruments including dual power supplies, oscilloscopes, digitalmultimeters, and arbitrary waveform generators.

involved. It did not take too much time awayfrom the REU students’ research activities, yet provided them with an opportunity to reach out toyounger students. It provided the REU students with an opportunity to work on theircommunication skills. By requiring the REU students to share their experiences and enthusiasmfor engineering, it reminded them of the reasons why they chose to pursue engineering or STEMdegrees in the first place. Given the positive outcomes of this experiment, it is our intention toorganize such activities in future REU program offerings.Acknowledgments:The author gratefully acknowledges the support of the National Science Foundation REUprogram NSF award # EEC-1359137 (2014-2017), award # EEC-1004915 (2010-2013) andaward # EEC
