The scarcity of courses dedicatedsolely to renewable energy and particularly to solar energy in most undergraduatecurricula will weigh negatively on the preparation of undergraduate engineering andscience students to tackle the expected renewable energy boom in the 21st century. Theundergraduate research project started in the department of electrical engineering at UDCis intended to fill this gap.

All the sections cover the same topic at anygiven week, but different students attend lab on a different day (Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday).The objectives of this course are:1. To design, build and troubleshoot electrical circuits to acquire biological measurements.2. To analyze and process acquired data and present it in a user-friendly manner.3. To analyze electrical signals from humans and interpret these physiological measurements.4. To solve open-ended engineering design projects taking into consideration resources and design criteria

Another solution may be to makeinternships an integral part of the undergraduate curriculum, or by designing the programaround co-op experiences. However, a downside of both internships and co-ops is that theactivities (usually) occur off campus, and out of the structure of curriculum. In otherwords, there may be significant benefit, but weaving those benefits into other curricularactivities may be problematic. Page 9.58.1 Capstone courses, as
