The assignment asked students toreflect on their definition of CE/EvE/AE, if they were interested in continuing to major inCE/EvE/AE, and why. Students were prompted to discuss personal experiences prior to college,content in the first year CE/EvE/AE course, and other college courses that impacted thisdecision. Students were also instructed to “Cite specific aspects of CE/EvE/AE and being aC/Ev/A engineer that appeal to you and do not appeal to you.”The essays were generally about two pages long. The assignment was worth ten percent of theoverall course grade. It was graded on whether or not the students fully answered each question,not based on their specific responses (such as

We have now physicallydemonstrated this integrated system’s ability to capture solar energy and convert it to DC power,to deliver 110 volts AC, and both 24 volt DC and 12 volt DC output power in both laboratoryand out-door experimental setups. Another important aspect of this project is that the PV powersource is expandable.

staff.BackgroundAccording to the United States Census Bureau in 2010 there were ~56.7 million people withsome form of disability, or ~19% of the American population.1 However the term ‘disabled’ canbe difficult to understand, as the severity of the disability is not always clear. It could mean thatsomeone had a partial hearing impairment or that someone had a severe motor pathology likecerebral palsy. The 2010 report Americans With Disabilities1 gave insight into the rates ofemployment for those with disabilities and those without. From this it becomes clear how hard itis for those to with disabilities to find employment and support themselves. However supportstructures and employment opportunities do exist For example the AbilityOne program employs45,000 people
