It allows researchers to “simultaneously pursuethe goals of developing effective learning environments and using such environments asnaturalistic laboratories to study learning and teaching”12. Within this framework, 4 models of aRube Goldbergineering curriculum were iteratively designed and implemented. Fundamentally,all models shared the same learning objectives, content material and pedagogical approaches, butvaried in terms of the implementation setting and structure. Some of the specific variations were:number, demographic distribution, and cultural and educational background of the students;methods of recruitment; mechanisms for financially

A goal of this project was to introduce the students tothe concept of sustainability by researching and working with renewable materials such as PLAand clay nanoparticles in a hands-on laboratory setting. The mechanical and flame retardantproperties of the polymer-clay composite were compared with the control, virgin PLAspecimens. The results of the project were shared with the entire class via a presentation.The students’ understanding of sustainability was assessed in the course’s examination, and theresults of the assessment will be shared in a paper presentation at the 2012 conference.

In order to expand thelearning opportunity in the course and to make it more than simply a series of tours, the coursewas designed so the students would do background work to gain an understanding of what theywould be visiting, and then actually visit the facility and talk with operators. At the conclusion ofeach visit the students would then write a journal of their visit to each regional power and energyrelated facility. Assessments from the students about the course and its learning opportunitieswill also be presented.

They also found thatwhile using light sensors (a closed loop system) gave a much better tracking accuracy, thesystem will lose its position if the Sun is blocked by clouds. There conclusion was that a Sun-tracking formula overall gave a significant improvement in the tracking accuracy.The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL
