The Jacobs School decided to emphasize the motivationaland social aspects while introducing students to existing academic resources on campus. The goals of the program were to a) foster a sense of community b) build awareness ofcampus programs and resources, c) provide tools to aid in the transition from high school tocollege, and d) inspire students by exposing them to opportunities in engineering. Activitiesduring the four-day program were designed to address these goals and included: social and teambuilding activities, academic-themed workshops, and an introduction to campus

The efficiency of solar energycollection in photovoltaic solar panels at any location can be optimized when the panel a) faces thesun and b) continuously tracks the sun during the day in one or two axis. This tracking can be con-trolled in a feed forward or feedback controlled manner. The later has obvious advantages. LipingGuo et. Al, [1] have used a feedback controlled one-axis mechanism that compares voltages fromtwo small solar cells mounted on a big solar panel assembly and activates a stepper motor to adjustthe east-west alignment.
