The cylinders have different specificationsIn summary, students follow these steps to complete the first part of the lab: a- Given the known variables such as, cylinders’ spec., pressure, etc., calculate the maximum weight that each cylinder can lift. b- Estimate the cylinders speed (students are to measure the time it takes for each cylinder to fully extend and then calculate the speed of each cylinder) c- Build the circuit using Automation Studio to verify the calculation. d

Students are assigned to a design team to determine the cause of the demandfluctuations, to mitigate them, to check the public utility’s measurements, and to create animportant building block for an eventual campus microgrid. Students build a metering and dataacquisition system to collect data on demand, making and recording several key measurements.They determine the cause of the demand fluctuations as being correlated to nearby constructionand maintenance interruptions in one of two electrical gateways. The public utility’s dataappears to be accurate within one percent of what

Theportability of this laboratory was achieved by the design and construction of custom utility cartsused for the mounting of the photovoltaic panels and the supporting instrumentation. Theworkshop also included a demonstration fixed solar thermal system used to generate hot water,as well energy auditing techniques.The instrumentation outlined in this paper was used in the delivery of two separate workshopsthat were offered to 8 -12 grade teachers as
