Suggestions includedintegrating the concepts from textbooks to practical experiments such as making ethanol inlaboratory, constructing fuel cells and solar energy models, and conducting small-scale energysimulations. Teachers also gave suggestions on some timely topics for new courses, like, prosand cons of new technologies vs traditional ones, fundamental differences in newer vs traditionalbatteries, and working principles of electric cars.A wide spectrum of issues were raised in answer to question regarding barriers at their school tocreating substantial STEM education initiatives focusing on energy, such as lack of priority onthe energy-related topics in curriculum where they find it

For example, disciplines such as electrical & computerengineering may have a senior design project that is software-based and targets many users, thusmaking it easier to commercialize than, say, a civil-engineering project focused on repairing apedestrian bridge. Senior-design projects have different approaches to the final goal whencommercial viability is factored in. We have installed bumpers in the scoring criteria toaccommodate for this reality. Otherwise, the morale would be diminished among students whoseprojects are potentially more difficult to commercialize or whose revenues would be much lowerthan for other types of projects.
