This journal consisted of entries similar to a diary in which students would reflect uponthe broader impacts topic being discussed and record their level of personal interest andalignment of personal values with the goals and impact of that specific broader impacts (BI)activity. The intent here was for the students to identify an area of BI activity that aligned withtheir interests and motivations right from the beginning

Boix Mansilla’s workincludes development of rubrics which can be useful to assessing students’ interdisciplinarywork. The performance criteria promoting interdisciplinarity in the rubrics include: (a) beingwell grounded in the disciplines, (b) advancing student understanding, and (c) showing

electricity outlet. The cell temperature of an HCPV module impacts its electricaloutput [5, 6]. Thus, HCPV needs a cooling system to maintain the temperature of the solarmodule. The cooling system can keep the temperature between 50°C and 80°C [7, 8], manydifferent kinds of cooling system have been shown in literature in the past[9-11]. Passive andactive cooling systems are two types of general cooling method for HCPV cooling.The passive cooling system uses a metal heat sink to cool down the panel. Many types ofresearch show the ability to use passive heat sink to keep panel efficiently (especially in500suns) [12-19], the passive cooling fin structure can be shown in Figure 3 [19].Figure 3.

Stress of relocation, separation from family and friends, new people, academic challenges, discrepancy between expectations and reality, loneliness, and lack of support all significantly relate to attrition” (Lee, D., Olson, E. A., Locke, B. Michelson S.

It is also essential in global education to recognize the needs of participants. GPPwas founded on the belief that global competency is incredibly important, but that graduatestudents cannot afford the time spent for such a trip over a whole semester. Finally, weencourage people to go. There is no substitute for physically walking around a new place,hearing conversations in another language, and experiencing life somewhere else in the world.References 1. L. B. Denney, M.
