Based on the portion of the roofavailable, the system could be expanded to four times its current size, which would leave a surplus ofenergy during roughly half of the year. Additionally, a wireless monitoring system allows for evaluationof the efficiency of the system against the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) model whichmade an energy estimate of the system given the system size, angle of the roof, and local weatherpatterns.

Answers to themost common student questions are also provided.MotivationFor the first two or three times the author taught an introductory steel design course, he noticedthat many students were not able to clearly describe yielding in materials. From previous coursesin mechanics of materials and structural analysis, the students recognized that yielding, alongwith fracture, were both limit states to be checked, but they struggled to differentiate between thetwo failure modes and

Traditionally, the student submission is graded bythe instructor at their convenience and the feedback and grades are returned back to students. Inthis method, the lab grading by the instructor is done by reviewing the student submission file bysitting together with the student and reviewing it together as soon as the student completes it. Theinstructor will ask the student to explain their source code by emphasizing various checkpoints.This will allow the instructor to understand the thought process of the students, and providepersonalized, efficient feedback to the student based on their submission.

Soon enough, a statistical learning AI system having improved encoding would be able toinclude diagrams/sketches and classify some tacit knowledge as explicit knowledge for straightforward pedagogy assessment without latent variable modeling.
