Designing Energy Efficient and Cost Effective Solar Panels
In this series of lessons, students will engineer patterns of solar panels using low, medium, and high efficiency solar cells.
Let's Go Rafting
In this ETP, students will be placed into five different groups. In each group, students will be given engineer roles and they will need to collaborate in order to meet the needs of their customer base. Each group will receive a base model of a Raft.
