The project in the College of Engineering, Technology & Physical Sciences at Alabama A&M University (AAMU) will enhance the engineering and technology curriculum by integrating theoretical and hands-on experiences in the field of renewable energy. This will be achieved by introducing new undergraduate and graduate courses in solar, wind and other renewable energies; introducing hands-on laboratory experience in solar and wind energy; enhancing the quality of education by introducing and expanding undergraduate and graduate research opportunities; and strengthening the recruitment, retention and transition of engineering and science students from secondary to post-graduate studies and industry. Project activities will advance the knowledge of the student participants, sharpen their skills and provide a support system that empowers them to successfully graduate and succeed in a competitive job market. By integrating theory, lab experiences and research into multidisciplinary renewable energy courses, students will be engaged in the learning process. The project will impact more than two hundred students at AAMU, as well as about four hundred high school students. Project activities can serve as a model for other institutions that desire to strengthen their engineering and technology programs.

亚拉巴马农工大学（AAMU）工程技术物理科学学院的该项目将通过整合可再生能源领域的理论和实践经验来增强工程和技术课程。为此，将开设太阳能、风能和其他可再生能源方面的新的本科生和研究生课程;引进太阳能和风能方面的实验室实践经验;通过引进和扩大本科生和研究生的研究机会来提高教育质量;加强工程和科学专业学生从中学到研究生和工业的招聘、留用和过渡。项目活动将促进学生参与者的知识，提高他们的技能，并提供一个支持系统，使他们能够成功毕业，并在竞争激烈的就业市场取得成功。通过将理论，实验室经验和研究整合到多学科可再生能源课程中，学生将参与学习过程。该项目将影响AAMU的200多名学生，以及大约400名高中生。项目活动可以作为希望加强其工程和技术计划的其他机构的典范。
