Traditional methods of having students master specific tools are rapidly becomingobsolete, prompting the need to refocus learning goals on teaching students how to adapt andlearn new tools. The “protégé effect,” emphasizing that students learn best by teaching, forms thebasis of the approach outlined in this paper. This student-centric strategy aims to address thechallenge of keeping up with evolving tools by having students collaboratively identify and writetutorials for useful of-the-moment tools.The key learning objective of this approach is to help

Notably,energy access is enshrined as one of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) [15].In 2022 and 2023, the National Science Foundation sponsored two workshops that each convenedapproximately 30 faculty and other stakeholders on the topic of EA education at theundergraduate engineering level. The primary goal of the workshops was to identify ways toexpand and enhance EA education. In this paper, we summarize and synthesize the discussionsand themes that emerged from the second workshop.

Specifically, the students implemented an edge detection filter, which requires 2D convolutionof a kernel over an image. This project topic has several appealing features. First, the solution can beeasily implemented in software and hardware. Thus, students are afforded the opportunity to directlycompare the two realizations. Second, image processing is a domain for which industry stakeholdershave a keen interest, especially the convolution process of a kernel over an image, which is heart ofConvolutional Neural Networks CNNs [10].
