Kenan Baltaci is an Assistant Professor at University of Wisconsin-Stout, in the Electrical Engineering Technology Department. He received B.S. in electrical engineering degree from Istanbul Technical University in Turkey. Following, a master's degree and doctoral degree in industrial technology was granted from University of Northern Iowa.
Students graduating with engineering degrees can be instrumental in addressing the impact of a changing climate. In this work, cross-disciplinary faculty explore students’ interest in topics of sustainability within their fields as well as their preparedness to apply academic concepts in a realistic context. Students from two different courses in two different engineering programs, mechanical and computer & electrical, collaborated on a renewable energy project. The project was limited by existing course objectives and content for both programs. The outcome of this study reflects on students’ interest and awareness of the impact of climate change on their career path.
