The students’ challenge was tooptimize an energy plan for the U. S. for the next 50 years. The class divided themselves intodifferent factions. Since genetic algorithms lend themselves to systems that have indefinitefactors, this was the category of algorithm that was chosen for this investigation. A population of different energy resources was compiled. For each faction, a spreadsheet wascreated which contained a detailed summary of the energy plan components. Each faction thencreated and applied a genetic algorithm to their starting plans. Genetic

. With this slightmodification, course learning objectives can now be measured much more accurately.Note that it is not necessary to use all assignment problems as an assessment tool, but it isimportant to always specify course learning objective corresponding to a given problem.This has proven to provide the student a sense of ownership of the problem, therebyencouraging and motivating the student. Once the format is set for each homework, theinstructor can change problems from year to year, however maintaining thecorresponding related course learning objective. This way, the Excel spreadsheet neednot be modified further. HOMEWORK #1 The next question(s) addresses the following course learning objective(s): • Convert any number between
