AB  - As engineering instructors we continue to review and test novel pedagogical ideas which can more engage engineers in learning the challenging fundamentals of our often rigorous engineering curricula. This paper explores one significant change to the laboratories of our fundamental circuits course (ECEG 210) at Bucknell University. After many core laboratories were completed during the first half of the semester, student teams were challenged to consider new applications of solar photovoltaic technology in the provision of reliable electricity to a variety of electrical end-uses at the residential level (off-grid). The students came up with many creative applications and developed and tested minimum viable product demonstrations of their ideas over the last six weeks of the semester. The results were very encouraging from this project-based learning innovation to our course labs. It was our intent to reinforce the fundamentals of circuits they had learned through the course with a real-world challenge to see just how many more things PV may be able to economically power in the future. This paper shares the exciting project results as well as the student assessment of this novel lab addition.
