Abstract

Six alternative energy technologies are chosen for inclusion in a mobile laboratory facility for aiding in undergraduate engineering education. A background, theoretical development as well as the design and description of a demonstration of the technology are included for each of the six chosen. Finally, experiments performed with the demonstrations are presented and result analyzed for accuracy and ability to aid in student understanding of the technologies.
