knowledge of various components that make up solar power systems. First isthe need to know the physics of a solar cell, how it functions, and its performance criteria.Second is the requisite knowledge of the converters, such as the charge controller and inverters:their engineering, performance parameters, different technologies, and suitability in variousapplications. Thirdly is the necessity to acquire knowledge of the different battery chemistriesused for the storage of renewable energy and which is most appropriate to specific environmentalconditions such as South Sudan. The fourth identified problem is the proper integration of thevarious components to meet a particular power need. Throughout the course, I broke down thevarious problems

A growing body of evidence advocates that LTS may provide significantadvantages to engineering students, but studies to date are quite limited.11-15 Asuniversities play catch-up to these trends, a fundamental question remains unexplored:What motivates engineering students to be engaged in service?2.

Since on-line resources change frequentlylibrarians can be valuable resources to instructors. IntroductionTechnology is a boon for educators, freeing them to focus on teaching. In the past teachingfaculty spent countless hours writing and organizing documentation. Currently instructors cansimply edit last semester’s or last year’s syllabi for this semester. Many engineering faculty areputting their syllabi on-line to facilitate access. Libraries, just like technology, can offer facultymethods to enrich course content
environments, various computer technologies are applied including Zoom meetings (especially breakout rooms and meeting recordings), pencasts, online tutorials, discussion boards, etc. Two laboratory design problems dealing with digital logic designs and interfacing of analog sensors are briefly described. In the online lab, students from two different engineering programs (mechatronics engineering and industrial engineering) were paired together using Zoom’s breakout rooms thus engaging in PL. Also, each student was issued a kit of parts necessary for the physical implementation of the lab designs off campus. Student pairs that finished their labs early were required to help other pairs. The instructor would combine pairs using Zoom’s breakout rooms

Furthermore, benefits to bothfaculty and students have been noted by those who have practiced team-based learning methods3.However, team-based learning also presents challenges to both students and instructors4.

Worldeducation rankings show the US lagging behind other nations in developing STEM skills [1]. Inorder to help overcome this widening gap, the US began a push for STEM opportunities for K-12students outside of schools, especially for reach underrepresented minority (URM) students whomay not have equal access to STEM opportunities. In 2007, the University of Arkansas Collegeof Engineering (UACOE) began offering summer programs to increase STEM exposure. In thesecamps, students are free to develop
