both renewable energy technologyand trained engineers and technicians, the current undergraduate curricula of most of the engineering andengineering technology programs are not adequately prepared to meet these needs. A significant numberof engineering and engineering technology programs still do not offer or offer a limited renewable energyeducation in their programs [9]. This is mainly due to (1) lack of faculty expertise, (2) lack of necessarylaboratory facility, (3) the very tight curriculum occupied by traditional engineering subjects, (4) high costand space requirements of laboratory equipment, and (5) lack of affordable and available educationalmaterials and suitable textbooks [3, 7, 10, 11].Teaching a renewable energy course is

should teach the manufacturing, testing, and components ofcells. If these classes can also have physical labs for making cathodes and anodes andassembling cells that would be beneficial as well.""I think so. I believe there should at least be a course or lab about analyzing electrode material,assembling cells, cycling cells, and analyzing cycled data. And even includes the deconstructionof a cell for possible recycling or analysis for side reactions and performance. This would havestudents see the construction of a cell from start to finish." Due to the scope of funding available, this laboratory has been initially launched as a anactive on-campus research laboratory, and currently is not used for academic class activities. Noformal

Pre-labshelp students prepare for in-the-lab brainstorming. The in-the-lab work includes watching avideo of the lab components, brainstorming the solutions, watching the lab video conducted bythe faculty, and doing a group analysis of the results. The learning outcomes intended for theonline labs are the same as in-person labs. Occasionally, a few minutes are allocated forreflection during lab periods aimed at increasing inclusion and a sense of belonging for allstudents.The one offering of the online labs is compared to two offerings of in-person labs, one precedingand

These units provide areal-time display of key system properties as well as surrounding conditions through a data acquisitionsystem. The majority of alternative energy educational training units are built and sold by companies thatoffer custom-made systems according to the customers’ needs; this increases the cost of the training units.Alternative energy teaching tools help students to fully comprehend complex concepts with interactiveeducational training equipment and are very important for the hands-on laboratory sections of energyeducation.

understanding of the fundamental concepts andpractical applications of energy conversion systems, which are critical for advanced research anddevelopment in mechanical engineering. According to a recent study by the American Society forEngineering Education (ASEE), students who take energy conversion courses are more likely tobe interested in pursuing graduate studies in mechanical engineering, as compared to those whodo not take such courses (Liang et al., 2021).To enhance student participation, engagement, and retention in the energy conversion course,novel teaching techniques have been proposed and implemented. These techniques focus oncreating an interactive and collaborative learning environment that enables students to applytheoretical concepts

Table 4 shows the questions and the results from the survey. Each of thequestions dealt with a characteristic of teaching excellence. The students were asked to indicatetheir rating for each question by filling in a bubble number from 1 (lowest) to 7 (highest). Afterprocessing the course evaluations of every student, an overall score of 6 out of 7 was reported forthis course which shows the successful conduction of the course and its components.
