The paper describes the project requirements, formation of the clinic team, conduct of theproject, and an evaluation of the results. From a pedagogical viewpoint, this clinic projectprovided an opportunity for students to learn about important emergent technologies, such as theSmart Grid, which was a topic that was included in the EAP. A second clinic team is continuingthe EAP work during the spring 2011 semester, which emphasizes the need for continuity andmethods to exchange information between student teams.BackgroundThe Rowan University engineering

The Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology, Inc.
