摘要

Globally, fossil fuels (77.6%) and nuclear energy (6.6%) combined constitute 84.2% of the total primary energy sources consumed today. In the US, fossil fuels constitute 69% and nuclear fuel 20% of total primary energy sources. Both of these energy sources present significant concerns with regards to national security, environment and overall safety. There is a growing interest within the education and research community to develop a comprehensive curriculum and infrastructure that focuses on the energy production and consumption with an environmentally sustainable prospective. This paper discusses the development of infrastructure for the undergraduate engineering research, teaching and training laboratory that focuses on alternative and renewable energy. The laboratory was developed to build capability in solving complex real world problems associated with energy industry and to build the future workforce of individuals with advanced technical skill-set necessary to contribute to the energy industry. The two main areas of focus for the present work were renewable energy and alternate energy. Prairie View A&M University, the second oldest public institution of higher learning in the state of Texas and a Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), has been systematically developing its capability through addition of equipment and personnel resources to support nuclear engineering and radiation safety education and research. With the collaborative efforts and leveraged funding PVAMU developed course curriculum and a state-of-art nuclear instrumentation and detection lab to facilitate undergraduate research. The first phase of the comprehensive energy laboratory development plan is completed. This phase has covered the major steps to involve the students in learning the basic and advanced tools, software, and techniques to build their ability for hands-on activities. By correlating theoretical concepts with practical experiments in a lab environment, the students were introduced the value of practical application of energy engineering concepts. The laboratory course was also utilized as a platform to identify potential students with a research aptitude to further investigate specific aspects of the energy research. The students were encouraged to apply for a competitive intern position to gain appointment as full time researcher during the summer. The results demonstrate that the laboratory had been an excellent tool to introduce students to hands-on learning and further encourage students to pursue research and advance their analytical skills to formulate a problem, set up strategies to solve the problem, set up experiments, collect data, and interpret results. This systematic approach of gradual engagement of students enabled them to gain confidence and to further initiate interest in pursuing graduate studies for more advanced research.
