Photovoltaic panels (PVs), employing semiconductors to harness solar irradiance andconvert it into electrical energy, have become pivotal in meeting this growing energy need.Despite all the technological advances, the conversion efficiency of most commercially availablePVs is around 20%. To address the effect of soiling on the PV efficiency, self-cleaning coatingshave been developed. These coatings can be categorized into two main

villagers preserve forest by using peanut shell as cooking fuel,assess their need of fresh water, and evaluate the road conditions.Through this trip, the teams achieved the planned goal to help the people in need by usingtheir engineering background. Meanwhile, they also learned a lot: 1. Engineering truly can affect people’s lives even in a remote region. 2. The best technology is not necessary the state-of-art technology, but the one suitable for the settings and meet the needs. 3. The engineering solution is subject to the working constraints, especially the local infrastructure. 4. Available budget is often the top priority to make or break a project, especially an engineering project. 5. To make a project
transferring to GeorgiaTech consistently succeed academically as well or better than entering Tech freshmen. Thissuccess prompted the University System to implement a Regents’ Engineering TransferProgram (RETP) based on the MGC program that would facilitate the transfer of highly-qualified students from other state institutions to Georgia Tech to complete their engineeringdegree. Likewise, many students attend MGC for two years before transferring to SouthernPolytechnic State University or Georgia Southern University to complete the requirements for aBachelor’s degree in Engineering Technology. To complement this strength in its engineeringcurriculum MGC in 1997 began two new initiatives: (1) preliminary approval was granted toestablish a new

In recognition of thisimportance, academic institutions allocate substantial resources to provide such support insideand outside of class. Support can take on a range of different forms and, in thinking holisticallyabout all support mechanisms, colleges are often faced with the challenge of identifying theefficacy of its investments in student support.
