the operation of the electrical power systemin Dominican Republic were used for the simulations in cybersecurity. Some data points weremodified to model an attack condition in the electrical system. MATLAB classification learnertool was utilized to run the simulation. The classifier will train the network. The predictors arethe electrical line current for each phase (A, B, C), the electrical line voltage for each phase (A,B, C) and the energy consumption in kWh. The network is a classification tree type. At the endthe MATLAB tool classify test data into one of two scenarios defined as attack and normaloperation. The step-by-step process of data processing is presented in the appendix A of thispaper.2.3 Methodology for Optimization

Thus, it seems reasonable tosurmise that water's bubble formation behavior on this catalyst closely resembles that ofhydrogen bubble formation on the same surface. While variations in the speed of bubbleformation may occur due to the distinct properties of water vapor and hydrogen gas, thesedifferences are not relevant to the aims of this study. The primary objective here is to develop anexperimental setup, not to measure the actual volume of hydrogen bubbles.

to keep egg production consistentthroughout the year [8].4. Engineering Design ApproachThe engineering approach for designing and implementing a solar powered automated chickencoop involves a combination of electrical, mechanical, software engineering principles.The design process can be divided into the following phases: a. Chicken Coop Structure: The mechanical aspect of the coop should be carefully evaluated to guarantee its stability, robustness, and the creation of a secure and comfortable habitat for the chickens. The chicken coop has already been constructed by the student author and the next step is to integrate the solar system and automation into the existing structure. b.

Each aluminum tube should be purchased in one foot long bars and each barshould be labeled with a letter, A-Z, denoting the bar that it was cut from and a number, 1-6,denoting sample # cut from the aluminum so that samples are labeled in the following manner,A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, etc. All samples should be labeled through stamping or etching so that thelabel is not lost during

to select the generation technologies that they think will best meet the needs and constraints of their own island’s electric grid. Available generation technologies include natural gas, coal, nuclear, solar, and wind. In the second part of this first activity, students are introduced to the concept of energy storage, and they see the benefits that the inclusion of energy storage could have on the electric grid. Specifically, students see how the inclusion of energy storage could allow for increased renewable energy generation due to the variable nature of renewable energy generation. b. The second part of the activity is a hands-on lab that

Research Questions and HypothesesThe research questions are as follows "As understood by Clean Energy Education Stakeholders inNew York State: 1. What is the most efficient Clean Energy training/educational method to turn astudent into an employment-ready clean energy technician? And 2. How can career pathways fornew entrants in Clean Energy be made accessible to disadvantaged communities?"Technical training and apprenticeships lie at the intersection of community college training,employment, and workforce development. For engineers, education and work often exist in thequantitative research category. This research used a mixed methods approach

institutions.The key point being that it can be done, however, it will require flexibility on the part of bothinstitutions. There were challenges that were experienced by the faculty, program administrators,and students alike, however, these challenges transformed into lessoned learned by all. If there isone great thing that the pandemic has taught everyone, it is that we often must be flexible toachieve our common goals. This course shows that it is certainly possible and that it provides aunique learning experience which teaches desirable skills which are not easily obtainedotherwise.ReferencesOlivares-Ceja, J., Gutierrez-Sanchez, B., Brockmann, P., Kress, A., & Staufer, J.
