New lessons will compare and contrast standard U.S. power rates withGerman rate structures. Examples include the various German “tenant electricity” projects,which highlight an apartment complex renewable energy project that provides 60% of theelectricity needed on site. Mieterstrom means “micro-grid” in German, and the idea with thesebehind the meter projects is that residents can generate their own energy on-site through acommunity-owned system, relying on the external distribution grid only to supplement theremainder of their needs through metered power.In addition to the work being done at NWTC, several other schools also have

Nevertheless,interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches also provide advantages to minimize the problem offragmentation. Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary methods allow AEC professionals to applycollaboration and knowledge integration rationally and can help people understand the contribution ofothers' and future work [10]. Therefore, interdisciplinary learning approaches are considered indispensableto addressing some of the fragmentation in the AEC industry. Interdisciplinary research plays an important role in addressing the specific problems related to theAEC industry. Irizarry et al. [11

At that time, the infrastructure course was envisioned as includingwater and wastewater, solid waste and basic transportation, topics not covered elsewhere in thecurriculum due to our large and humanities-heavy core requirements. As part of this initial refit,it was thought that dynamics and electrical engineering would be covered in a consolidatedcourse, and we would work with the electrical engineering department to ensure that some powerand power distribution content, considered essential, would be included in the consolidatedcourse.

Team role theory identifies the value of organizing team members by functionalrole, defined by the tasks needing to be fulfilled and the set of abilities needed to complete thesetasks successfully [7]. In engineering education, Felder et al., [8] find that assigning students intofunctional team roles is an effective way to create collaborative learning opportunities. Despitethe value of functional role assignment in teams, most capstone design programs assign a projectmanager or project lead role instead of assigning functional roles to all team members [9].The benefits of assigning functional roles in teams (helping teams meet mission, vision, goals,and objectives) aligns with definitions of leadership.

[2, 3] Previous studies have found that a hands-on or project freshman experience can have impacts on student attitudes and persistencein engineering. [4-7]A critique of the MIT curriculum is that the core classes in the freshmen year are allscience and humanities classes, however the majority of the students complete a degree inengineering. To better connect freshman core science classes to engineering concepts, aclass was developed that focused on hands-on projects in the freshman year. Thisseminar, called Mens Et Manus (Mind
