. Achieving these skills requires modernized teaching methodsthat engage students in open-ended assignments where students encounter uncertain data thatforces them to question the results of technical computations. These are some of the key reasonsfor a large energy transformation project underway in an Engineering Technology program. Thetransformation project crosses traditional course boundaries by highlighting similar energyconversion processes that occur in many different disciplines. As one example of the progress sofar, undergraduate students in a thermodynamics course assisted with the installation of an 8 kWsolar photovoltaic array on the roof of a campus building. More importantly, a web-basedgraphic interface was created so that future
