To raise awareness of sustainability-related issues, the Office ofSustainability asked the Renewable Energy Society if they would design and build a moresustainable grill for use at these tailgates. The Renewable Energy Society is a student-ledorganization that is dedicated to the study of renewable energy systems. The students agreed totake on the challenge and formed a team dedicated to the project. After some preliminaryresearch, the students discarded the traditional “solar cooker” design because experience showedthat the design does not achieve adequate temperatures to cook meat in a short amount of time.Next the students explored the idea of converting a propane grill to a battery-based solar

I am very familiar with one of the courses dueto my graduate study and consulting experiences. This course has a laboratory that requiresvarying preparation time depending on the experiment being conducted, the condition of theequipment and the difficulty of the theories and procedures involved. Another course tends tohave topics or themes that continue over several weeks requiring preparation for several classperiods at one time. The third course is homework intensive with new topics or sequential topicdevelopment changing from class period to class

At the macro-level of analysis,research methods link individuals and small groups to larger educational systems usingfunctionalist and conflict theories of education.24 This model, and our mixed-methods researchapproach, leads us to examine schools as open rather than closed systems.
