IntroductionAs human population, new technologies, and infrastructures continue to grow, there isa proportional increase in the demand for energy need. Currently, most energy in theUnited States is produced by fossil fuels. For the last century, petroleum, natural gas,and coal had accounted for at least 80% of the total U.S. energy consumption.[1]However, burning fossil fuels produces pollutants and heat-trapping gases

Most have previously attended post-secondary institutions,some in engineering or pre-engineering programs. More than 25% of distance engineeringstudents are active military or veterans, compared to about 12% of all engineering students.Ibrahim and Morsi2 presented one of the earliest comprehensive reviews of distance Electricaland Computer Engineering programs. In a survey of over 120 programs across the UnitedStates, the authors found that most distance programs in both engineering and technology wereassociate degrees.

Not allthe changes appear to be for the better, and there are tradeoffs. The discussion focuses primarilyon anecdotal examples, although some statistical data are included.1.

students at Title IV institutions (Pell Grantparticipating institutions) fails to complete a degree within 6 years, representing a major concernfor student, parents, and the institutions themselves [3]. This level of failure is particularlytroubling in light of the cost of post-secondary education. In the domains of Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), there is also concern that significantattrition can negatively impact American global competitiveness in these fields [4].One way that institutions have addressed student attrition is to provide summer bridge programsfor matriculating first-year students, particularly directly toward those who might be at risk fordropping out [5].
