engineering school is to develop first class engineers and leadersin their field, empowering them with the best engineering tools and exposing them to the latesttechnologies. Modern society relies on stable, readily available energy supplies. Renewableenergy is an increasingly important component of the new energy mix. Anyone can easily seethat the world is leaning toward renewable energy sources and in this region, solar and windenergies are the next generation sources to come after oil and gas. After an extensive search andreadings of how this could be implemented, the first step toward integrating such technologiesinto the curriculum was attending workshops in the United States (US) on renewable energy toseek out the most efficient method for
