the course attracts students from all disciplines within theCollege of Engineering, it is challenging to teach given the variety of backgrounds, specific skillsand knowledge, and perspectives. Analysis of course assessment data and revision to the coursecontent and teaching methods are part of an on-going effort to improve this course. The Green Engineering course has lectures which present background material on the keyenvironmental and energy issues facing society. To differentiate this course from one inenvironmental science, an engineering analysis component is included with the assignment offour mini-projects which are completed by teams of not more than four students. The projectsare: 1) biomass logistics, a project to document

and Thermal SystemsAbstract In designing an energy system such as a steam power plant or a solar water heating system,an engineer is required to select and size many different components such as pumps, turbines,and solar panels. Proper selection and sizing of these components require understanding ofmaterials covered in basic engineering science courses such as thermodynamics, heat transfer,and fluid mechanics. Moreover, the engineer must have knowledge and understanding of theoverall system, the role of each component in the system design, and the interactions amongdifferent components. In addition, the selection and sizing process must conform to and followindustry standards and recommendations. As a result, many manufacturers provide

Increasing the number of students researching these technologies would increase thelikelihood of progress.The process of testing batteries to characterize performance and durability typically requires theuse of specialized equipment that may be beyond the budget for many educators. Hence, manyinterested students may not have access to the tools to perform these experiments.To remedy this, we have begun the development of an open source battery-testing platform thatcan be built at a fraction of the cost of commercial systems.
