seatedperson in an office room, (2) tested and validated the accuracy of the system against a manualregistry record, and (3) conducted a parametric study calculating and comparing the cooling loadfor maximum versus partial occupancy level.Initial consideration of the obtained energy savings due to the usage of chair sensors clearlydemonstrates this system as a viable and low cost tool that can help building operators to lowerthe building energy consumption. A simple and low cost system was able to accurately detect alloccupants present in an office room. Results shown in Table 4 reflects an average of 15%savings in cooling loads. However, these savings were based on a predetermined occupancyschedules for a small office containing four chairs only

energy for those left in the dark,and to use technology to help people in need. We strive to develop solutions for areas withlimited grid power. The goal of the Alternative Energy Club is to incorporate alternative sourcesof energy into practical engineering applications and projects. One of the current projects is tobuild a solar powered car to race in the American Solar Challenge.6. AssessmentBoth formative and summative assessments were conducted. At the beginning of each lecture orlab activity, questions related to the previous lesson were asked and reflected upon. Studentswere also given opportunities to address issues that they felt they did not quite understand.Discussion then took place to explore reasons for lack of understanding. This

challengesranging from tackling stability issues, system integration, SCADA programming, and integrationof SEL relays. Most of these issues were not part of the regular coursework in the program.Students engaged with experts from industry to clarify several issues that they encountered. Suchinteraction is an important part of their undergraduate experience and a required component ofthe senior design sequence at SUNY Buffalo State.Students reflected on the project in highly positive way:“The Microgrid senior design project has been an excellent opportunity to apply theoreticalprinciples and knowledge gained during Electrical Engineering Technology classes. Completionof the various Lucas-Nuelle training labs assisted in teaching theoretical principals
