Solar energy represents a contribution towards such a transition and is a major growtharea for energy generation in the United States. The Inflation Reduction Act, passed in summerof 2022, has allocated hundreds of billions towards clean energy incentives [4] that will stimulategrowth of renewable energy in general, including solar photovoltaics (PV). The Department ofEnergy estimates that the US will need 1,600-3,000 GW of total installed solar capacity by 2050to meet climate goals [5]. Reaching this amount would necessitate quadrupling the currentannual solar deployment rate. Growth in solar jobs to meet these needs is already happening [6]and is

humankind unique, both individually and as a species, remains unclear. Advances in neuroscience and computer science, as well as ethics, generate questions about the nature of intelligence, consciousness, and personhood and the rights and protections associated with being human. In this course students tackle classic readings from Descartes to modern ruminations on artificial intelligence, examine our relation to our creations and pets, and the way our various identities affect how our personhood is perceived and protected.Some basic information from the course syllabus is described below.Broad Topics covered 1. Basic neuroscience 2. Distinctions between humans and nonhumans 3. Emotional connection and dependencies between

As can be seen bythe criteria, the focus has been limited to ensuring students provide background for their projectand communicate the work they have done in a clear, jargon-free manner.What can also be seen by the criteria in Figure 3 is that a number of the elements assessed inFigure 1 are missing.

The coursewas an introduction to the time value of money and how it relates to capital investments,equipment replacement, production cost, and various engineering technology alternatives. Thesubstantive contribution of this paper will address the following questions: 1) did the studentsunderstand and identify the policy context, 2) how effective was the use of case studies tointroduce the students to policy, and 3) areas of improvement to enhance efficacy of the casestudies

This means that generational belonging goes beyond just that oftechnical know-how but also the knowledge of the profession or trade as well. “so I just feel like one of the restrictive components is just how much you have to know before you really get involved in engineering.” Anom as a white man, can reflect briefly on why he feels like engineering may beinaccessible.

First proposed by Holley and Guilford in 1964[12] and generalized later by Brenan and Prediger in 1981 [13] for more than two categories, theG-Index is perhaps the simplest expression for percent chance agreement compensation. It isdefined as 𝑝𝑎 − 1/𝑞 (6) 𝑘𝑏 = 1 − 1/𝑞Where q is the number of categories. Since 𝑘𝑏 depends only on the number of categories (q) andhence, it is independent of subject rating distribution by raters making it a paradox

The engineer is rated generally intelligent but not nearly so strong in this regard as the scientists. On the other hand, he is considerably, more socially adept than the scientist, though no social lion. The engineer is quite successful and reasonably wealthy, but he gains less satisfaction from his work than the scientist derives from pure research. He is also more conservative, and more likely to be conformist. Except for these important differences, the engineer is almost identical with the scientist.Exhibit 1. Analysis of occupational
