However, how and which are the bestapproaches to better educate the next generation of power and energy engineers, remain openquestions. In addition of teaching courses in electrical machines and power systems, highereducation institutes must include new courses and topics into curriculum, such as renewableenergy systems, power electronics, smart grids, energy economics and management, to mention afew of them while still ensuring a four-year graduation timeframe [2-9].The modern power systems have been significantly changed from the very modest beginnings toone of the most complex and large system, perhaps the largest machine or

It is more common to express the effectiveness of this conversionprocess by lighting efficacy, which is defined as the amount of light output in lumens per Watt ofelectricity consumed.In California Energy Code, which is the sixth section of the California Building Standards Code,lighting power density (LPD) is used as a metric to regulate the maximum allowable lightingenergy for each building type, or for each interior space type. The maximum allowable LPDvalues, in Watt per square foot, are listed in 2016 Title 24 standards Table 140.6-B (for

TEGs are made from thermoelectric modules which are solid-state integrated circuitsthat employ three established thermoelectric effects known as the Peltier, Seebeck and Thomsoneffects. TEGs require heat as an energy source and can generate power as long as there is a heatsource such as gas or oil flame, stove, camp fire, industrial machinery, and furnace. Solarmodules which convert light energy into usable electricity need direct sunlight to generatemaximum rated power. Usually solar tracking systems are used to receive direct sun light toincrease the efficiency of the modules. This type of setup increases the cost of the photovoltaicsystems.

The course taught in a more engaged manner was meant to alleviate student understanding andusage of energy concepts.
