University Courses ITEAS policy framework (capacity building and policy horizon broadening), and the experiences in the Energy Roundtable enabled the engineering professors (Dr. O’Neill and Dr. Irizarry) to integrate policy into their teaching. A graduate course on renewable energy served as an initialplatform to introduce engineering students to energy policy issues. Although the course mainlydeals with energy sources and technologies, it also includes a discussion of interconnection issues.Interconnecting variable
