For this study, we were only concerned with the content knowledge of the twogroups and the communication needs and barriers. To address these

Consequently, in most of their homeworkassignments they used a coloring scheme such as shown in Figure 7. Figure 7: Student’s Diagram – Geospatial LayoutMoreover, other students realized that this sort of diagram is not scalable and will become veryunclear and messy if there are many applications and locations with complex mappingrequirements.

The course is aimed at pre-junior and junior (3rd and 4th year)students at Drexel. Prerequisites are kept to a minimum to allow a broad audience, primarily inengineering and science. This course, and the author’s senior-level Solar Energy Engineeringcourse, are currently the only undergraduate online courses in the Department.The course is an overview of renewable energy sources, including wind, geothermal, solar(passive
