To establish the significance of the project, sample produced simulation models forsome of the studied structures are provided and discussed in the paper. By interacting with theproduced models during the lectures, the instructor can effectively enhance the students’understanding of the behavior of structures subject to various loads and further promote studentlearning.

It is welldocumented that effective teamwork can facilitate career progression, often leads to moreinnovative solutions, and has the potential to increase job satisfaction. Throughout theirundergraduate education, students are tasked with team-based projects to provide this requiredexperience, however they are rarely provided with the skills to be a successful team member andleader. Ambrose et al. [3] highlight that in addition to content knowledge, teamwork furtherrequires higher-order qualitative skills such as task delegation, conflict resolution, and contentsynthesis.

The intent of the trackingsystem is to maintain a perpendicular angle from the surface of the panel cells to the sun’semitting light rays in-order to maintain optimal power storage throughout the course of the day. Improved design and development of an omni-directional solar tracking system can beconsidered for implementation at an industry scale for achieving optimal power

Solving real-world problem increases student motivationas well as promotes deep learning and development of expertise. Improvement in engineeringeducation can be realized by the introduction of more “authentic” learning experiences.Authentic learning is social as well as cognitive and includes interpersonal communication, self-directed research, and a focus on the customer just like in a real workplace [2].
