Such low utilization rates were consistent with reports by the US and UKgovernments.18-19 Reflections on the survey results locally (in Allegany County) andglobally suggest opportunities to enhance University curricula and to increase renewableenergy utilization.

ConclusionComputer based testing enables an instructor of a course for M.S. students in a teaching oriented school tocondition them to the habit of regular studying without increasing the grading load. The author has usedthem in class successfully with increased student attendance and attention. There are issues with computeraccess, some time is lost if the class has to go to a computer lab for the test, possible web outages duringthe test, etc. However, the benefits of CBT significantly outstrip its disadvantages in creating bettermotivated students at the M.S. level.DisclaimerThis article reflects author’s personal scholarly view on the subject and is written based on his personalexperiences at different schools and anecdotes gathered from various sources

' perceptions of the program and engineering, and lessonslearned for refining both the evaluation methods and the structure of future camps to improvetheir effectiveness.To understand students' perceptions of the camp and their attitudes toward engineering, webegan by cleaning the data—removing duplicate responses, excluding students who completedthe survey significantly faster than others (indicating they may not have read the questions), anddiscarding incomplete responses. After data cleaning, we averaged the scores for key constructsfrom the Likert-type survey items. Preliminary findings suggest that participants maintained highlevels of motivation and engagement, as reflected in their consistent scores across the MUSICModel constructs [17
