Illinois Institute of Technology,under the umbrella of a Distinctive Education Initiative within the Armour College ofEngineering, we challenged ourselves to build on these more traditional mechanisms forexposing students to research in a manner that would: 1) increase the opportunity for inquiry- Page 26.651.3based learning and creative engineering thinking; 2) prepare students for subsequent placementin a research laboratory; and 3) provide all engineering students at our institution an opportunityto perform mentored, self-directed research. Furthermore, as an engineering college within ouruniversity, we also felt that our solution should address

The interest factor is actual twodifferent set of questions, initial and maintained. Factor 1, initial/maintained interested, wasoriginally designed to measure students’ interest in psychology7, and then modified for chemistrystudents8.

Therefore, wewill use the initial analysis of our brainstorming sessions and interviews to formulate the surveyquestions to validate or invalidate them to the broader domain audience.

Recently reported photovoltaic efficiencies of novel solar terrestrialconcentrator cells have reached record levels. In fact, it is reported that metamorphic, orlattice-mismatched, GaInP/ GaInAs/ Ge 3-junction cells have reached 40.7% efficiency .Efficiency higher that 40% was also reported from measurements on lattice-matched 3-junction cells. Under such dramatic changes, research on all aspects of solar cells,including theory, modeling and simulation
