These generation systems can be used in stand-alone configurations, microgrids or in configuration connected to the power networks for gridreinforcement. Given the rapid progress in alternative energy and distributed generationtechnologies and usage, there is a greater need for trained professionals and engineers withadequate knowledge in these areas to be able to plan, design and operate such systems, andperform analytic evaluation of their impact on power systems to which they are connected. Theintegration of intermittent energy sources in the power system creates manifold challenges

Additionally, it allows students to evaluate engineering as an academic pursuit prior tothe college application process [13]. For students who already plan to study engineering, pre-college programs allow them to learn about different engineering disciplines and fields.Exposure to engineering before starting college can allow students to decide if engineering is theright choice for them, and which field within engineering may be the best match for theirinterests. The pre-college program discussed here is modeled similarly to engineering bootcamps. Students enrolled in our pre-college program consist of mostly rising high school juniorsand seniors and

A second concern for the course hasbeen the attrition between the spring course and the fall course. More than one-third of thestudents have opted not to take second portion of the course, but most of these have beenstudents who do not need the course credits to graduate. Although more time is needed to assess the effect of this course’s research experiences onthe careers of these students, the course sequence appears to be a success.

Summer bridge programs for 25 students cancost upwards of $40,000. Also, some high school graduates work to earn money for school ortravel during the summer prior to going to college, and participation in a multi-week residentialprogram would be disruptive to the established plans of these students.Post-secondary education summer transition/bridge programs typically recruit from targetpopulations including underrepresented students, low income students, provisionally admittedstudents, and those who are at risk
