University of Bridgeport. One course, SustainableEnergy lab, was offered to facilitate the education in renewable energy. One of experiments isfocused on the PV system and it consists of solar position calculation, site survey, VI curvemeasurements, buck-booster converter and energy storage. Finally, a stand-alone PV system, issetup to deliver DC and AC power to the loads. Through this experiment, the students areexpected to understand the working principles of the PV system and the function of eachcomponent.1. Introduction PV module price has fallen 75% to below $1/w since 2008 [1, 2]. There are over 17,500MW of cumulative solar electric capacity operating in the U.S., enough to power more than 3.5million average American homes, 36
, for example, any four of the sub-tasks have been adequately presented, then a score of ‘4’ is recorded on the evaluation sheet forthe appropriate task. These twelve individual scores thus obtained (four per evaluator) aresubsequently averaged, and the grand average is determined for each laboratory group. Theoutcome is judged to have been achieved if 70% or more of laboratory groups have a grandaverage of 3.0 or higher6.An assessment was conducted in 2010 that provided the motivation for changing the content ofthe junior-level laboratory course (MAE 302L). The results of that assessment exercise indicatedlow performance in the ‘interpretation of data’ task (2.17/5.0). This result was consistent withresults from earlier assessment cycles using
