AB  -     Design and Development of a PV Engineering Course: First Year                            Experience                                         AbstractA CCLI Type I NSF proposal under the title ”Development of Novel Learning materialsfor Green Energy Education Centered around a PV Test Station” was awarded in August,2010 to develop expemplarary learning materials and laboratory modules for PVengineering at the undergraduate/graduate level. The paper discusses the draft of thecourse modules developed as of now, the laboratory facility and experimental projects,and student evaluation of the course modules through field-testing.With energy cost rising and the dangers of climate change due to energy-relatedgreenhouse effect, there has been a great national interest in renewable energy. Amongthe clean and green power sources, the photovoltaic solar power has the potential tosupply a significant fraction of electrical energy need. With the nation’s focus onrenewable energy and sustainability, people are paying serious attention to alternateenergy and this enthusiasm must be carried on to undergraduate engineering education.This project seeks to address such a challenge with contemporary courses on alternateenergy harnessing and electric smart grid (ESG). No readily available comprehensiveeducational materials currently exist for the topics. The course learning materials will beintegrated with hands-on laboratory experience. The paper will discuss:•   An abridged version of twelve power-point chapters that have been developed and    were field-tested through a special topic course.•   The development and novelty of the laboratory facilities and the equipment procured.•   Facility’s grid connectivity tied to a course on ESG (Electric Smart Grid).•   Outreach summer activities with high school students centered on the solar course.•   Students’ feedback of the course modules for refinement and improvement.
