that all education is environmental education, by which I mean thatstudents are taught in various and often unintended ways that they are part of, or apart from,natural systems. Furthermore, we must recognize that the goal of education is not the mastery ofknowledge, but the mastery of self through knowledge...In the conduct of teaching, we must alsoacknowledge that the process of learning is often as important as content, and that institutionsteach by what they do as well as by what they say.” 2 -David W.

We had several initial design ideas as a result of research and brainstorming. One designwe came up with involved harnessing from the speed control of the revolving door, a brakingmechanism that keeps the door from spinning quicker than is safe. This initial design wouldharness the energy lost to friction and heat, essentially acting as a regenerative braking system.However, this design had two main problems. First, there is not a great deal of publicly availableinformation on the intricacies of revolving door speed controls, and we would need to know theins and outs of the speed control to

. The reaction rate is a functionof the temperature, catalyst concentration, and the liquid phase oxide concentration (which isfunction of the pressure). The limits on the reactor temperature and catalyst concentration are setby considerations of thermal degradation and purification difficulties. To maximize the reactionrate, the pressure must be kept as high as possible for the entire duration of the batch. The higherlimits on the pressure and reaction rate are dictated by the pressure suitability of the reactor Page 10.311.3system and the feasible heat removal rate.

ABSTRACT The subject of Micro Renewable Energy Systems is explored as a medium for learning across disciplines, and for global knowledge exchange. Experience from 3 years of course offerings is distilled. Students in these courses came with their own strong motivation to help solve major global problems. Individual assignments
ranging fromfreshmen to PhD students. Their ways of exploration, knowledge extraction, validation andinnovation are discussed in the paper.IntroductionA primary feature of engineering education related to renewable energy is that the constraintsand innovations come from a very broad range of disciplines within and outside science andengineering. This is perhaps true of any discipline as it is forming, which appears to be thecase with renewable energy. Accordingly, the imaginative reader is requested to consider thatthere may be no sections on “the pedagogy” or “the course” or “the student happiness surveyproving the greatness of the teacher” in this paper. The paper is about how learners fromtraditional disciplines deal with grand challenges and
