The team comprised oftwo undergraduate students, an electrical engineering faculty adviser, and engineers from a localutility. Volt-VAR optimization is the combination of both conservation voltage reduction (CVR)and volt-ampere reactive (VAR) optimization. The goal of CVR is to reduce energy consumptionby lowering

In addition to the traditional types of assignments that focus on forms ofcorrosion and methods of testing for and mitigating corrosion, the course was redesigned to bringsustainability issues to the forefront; specifically with respect to undergraduate education.Much attention was paid to topics in the news and in recent journal articles and a special sectionwas added on corrosion issues associated with clean energy technologies. .

After searching for some well-knowneducational technology companies[8-10], we found ourselves at an awkward situation, on one handwe don’t have enough fund to purchase advanced well-developed/equipped lab benches, on theother hand the ones within our budget don’t serve the learning objectives of the course well.There are many published papers in the field of renewable energy education[11-16] with some ofthem addressing the broad scope of renewable energy[11, 12, 14] and the others presenting labactivities for mechanical engineering or non-engineering
