Nanotubes, Nanostructures and Solar Cells Ononye, Lawretta State University of New York at Canton, NY “Session:” Interdisciplinary programs, sustainability and alternative energy as related to engineering educationAbstract Nanotechnology is the key to new solar cells devices in search of sustainable andrenewable sources of energy. Although silicon cells based on solid-state p-n junction deviceshave dominated the field, they are inherently expensive. Thus, a “promising third generation” ofphotovoltaic (plastic solar cells, dye sensitized solar cell, nano-technology cell, and the hybrids)has been researched; and are
more approachable than faculty instructors andserve as role models to students in classes that they teach1. However, undergraduate students inscience, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields have few opportunities to workas course instructors or teaching assistants, and even fewer opportunities to explore and developscholarly approaches to teaching.Although many undergraduates gain teaching experience through peer tutoring programs, theseprograms usually do not provide formal training for peer tutors about best practices for STEMinstruction. Furthermore, undergraduates may not recognize that learning how to teach moreeffectively is a professional development skill that could be useful to them in non-teachingfocused STEM fields
operation of the garden lights andhow they can be modified to provide various laboratory exercises. Examples of laboratoryexercises are presented, and experimental results are discussed.IntroductionSolar panels, LED lighting, and rechargeable battery energy storage are used in manyapplications and products of everyday life. Many engineering technology students mayeventually find careers in fields that involve these energy conversion technologies [1]. Tointroduce first-year students to some of the concepts involved in these technologies and increaseawareness of solar energy [2], a laboratory exercise was developed around the components of aninexpensive solar garden light fixture. The laboratory is part of the introductory electrical circuitsand
technology students. In order toprepare them for engineering challenges of future, there is a need for undergraduate laboratory education inmanufacturing and testing of fiber composite materials. An emphasis is given in this paper to incorporate someapplications of composites in an innovative way to undergraduate students. The experience shows that this is aviable and inexpensive approach to complement the education on composite materials. Introduction Applications of fiber composite materials and sandwich structures are significant in the design andmanufacturing of aerospace vehicles. The maintenance of such vehicles require the knowledge of repair andtesting. While understanding the mechanics of

Using Power Point in Distance Learning Laboratories Richard C. Cliver Department of Electrical Engineering Technology Rochester Institute of TechnologyAbstract: The purpose of this paper is to discuss using power point presentations to enhance circuits laboratories for a distance learning course. Students in this course meet with the instructor for one day instead of two hours for eight weeks during the quarter. Laboratory experiments with directions portrayed with diagrams, photographs, and words were given to the students to do at home before they came to campus with power point presentations. This allowed the students to be more familiar with the material before they

We hosted two summercohorts in the labs of the engineering school at our metropolitan research university before thepandemic forced us to postpone the third planned cohort until it is safe to meet in person. Thispaper illustrates the importance of the in-person cohort experience for developing teachers aslearners and facilitators of computational thinking using the concept of machine learning.Machine learning (ML) models are now being used increasingly in many sectors, ranging fromhealth and education to justice and criminal investigation. Hence, these algorithmic models arestarting to

ComponentsMicrowave and Radio Frequency (RF) Engineering is seeing renewed interest by undergraduatestudents, not only in job opportunities that the wireless area affords, but also with students tryingto understand what is ‘under the hood’ in the ubiquitous wireless devices they often (sometimestoo often) use. A veritable alphabet soup of wireless applications (WiFi, WiMAX, RFID andZigBee to name but a fewa) are not only in use now but wider bandwidth, faster wirelessnetworks are projected for the future. In fact, the International Technology Roadmap forSemiconductors (ITRS) shows that RF and “wireless applications may replace computers as thekey driver in manufacturing” over the next 10 years1.

A third driving sector is composed of existing major industries that previouslyhave never used micro- and nanotechnology but are now actively embracing it (Siegel,1999). Among these are giants such as the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, andeven more traditional industries like clay and glass.
