resilience in the event of power outages.In order to effectively mitigate any risk of losing power and productivity, major office buildingsusually have some sort of backup generation to sustain a business. Homes generally do not havea robust back-up power system, so when a person is working from home and the power goes out,productivity stops. Therefore, a new power grid solution is needed. Coming from the metricprefix atto, meaning 10-18, an atto-grid provides power to a singular room or section of roomwhich makes it even smaller than a picogrid. This atto-grid powers the typical load of a standard,single-person office: a printer, a laptop, a phone, and a lamp.The atto-grid project was proposed by Dr. Robert Kerestes from the Electrical and

To practice this, a relevant, real-world example related to the sustainability of engineered flood-control systems in the New Orleans region is investigated by students. Student projects examine the importance of sustainability throughout the design process as they progress from initial concept to sustainable flood management systems. Introduction The Code of Ethics for the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) states that engineers have an ethical obligation to hold paramount the health, safety and welfare of the public in the performance of their professional duties (Eide, et al., 2002).

In the last decade, model-based design (MBD) is an emerging development methodology for modern software. Itsefficiency has been demonstrated in large scale software engineering projects. This paperpresents our experience of integrating modern MBD concepts and tools into a ProgrammingTools (PT) course. First, the basic components in the MBD process are exposed to students,especially its two unique components - automated code generation and model-based verificationand validation (V&V). Second, three modeling languages: Matlab/Simulink, LabVIEW andSCADE are exposed to students. They all have been widely applied in embedded control

What is different from the Pinewood Derby isthat the model car of our project would be made from 3D printing instead of elaborating on apinewood block.
