- Related Workforce Development ProgramI. AbstractThe main objective of this nuclear-related workforce development (NWD) program is to use thescholarships provided by the federal funding agency ($5,000 per semester) in conjunction withWestern Carolina University’s engineering project-based learning sequence to recruit and retainstudents who will sustain our existing program for serving nuclear-related industry andacademia. Our secondary objective is to increase the quality, quantity, and diversity of studentsseeking these engineering degrees. The program seeks to recruit engineering studentsspecializing in electric power, mechanical, and electrical disciplines, jointly called EPME. Aprogram requirement is that these students pursue an

With this network, 24VDC power isrouted throughout the room via conductors embedded in the drop-ceiling support structure. Userscan then tap into the low voltage supply from any location in the room. The microgrid effort isorganized by a consortium of industry and university partners exploring the use of low voltageDC indoor power distribution for a variety of commercial

IntroductionRenewable energy related courses are becoming an essential part of engineering andengineering/industrial technology curricula. Many schools are integrating renewable energyprograms or courses to their core curriculum to support existing programs to expose students toenergy systems [1-7]. The nature of renewable energy courses differs depending on the program ofstudies in various departments. For example, construction and civil engineeringtechnology/science programs usually adopt green building and geothermal related classes andprojects [8], engineering programs adopt thermal systems, solar, wind, human power, energyconversions systems, and biomass classes
