a key source of successfulinnovations; thus, techniques to support creative conceptual design are imperative in engineeringeducation. However, teaching students to “think innovatively” has been difficult becauseeducators lack effective instructional methods. While there are a variety of proposed methods foridea generation, only one has been empirically validated in multiple scientific studies: DesignHeuristics. Design Heuristics are prompts that guide designers in exploring the design spaceduring concept generation. In empirical studies in engineering and design classrooms, DesignHeuristics have been shown to be readily adopted by students, and to result in more creative, andmore diverse, concepts.The focus of this project is to create a

About 30years ago when crude oil was thought to be suddenly short on supply, researchers, engineers andcompanies began to investigate alternative energy sources. At some point in time supplies for fossil fuel and crude oil will diminish to a critical levelthat is why it is important to teach students how use and incorporate renewable energy into theirengineering projects independently of their majors.
