desk lamps use little to no energy and can be used in place of overhead lights. The building’s HVAC unit transformed from a heating only device to having the capacity to both heat and cool the building. Old and broken pieces of the systems were replaced, while other parts were tweaked to work more efficiently. The upgraded unit features an advanced sensor system that measures the outside and inside atmosphere 50 times a second. It responds immediately to impending temperature changes, based on a

make the system work. The pumps that circulate the thermal medium among the heat pumps are run off variable speed drives so the pumps only pump based on need from the heat pumps. This is all tied together by the HVAC control system, which saves a great deal of energy over standard HVAC systems. The roof is painted white to reflect light, helping to manage the climate of the building naturally. When entering any room in the building the lights are automated and all bulbs used are LED or highly

homelessness was shaped by this project. Like the possibility of young people being homeless existed, but was never something I really saw or thought of as a major issue. Working on this project I learned that it is a very real thing and that the systems in place are helpful, but are hard to access and navigate. Why is it important that students get to do work like this? This type of work is important for students because it helps challenge student views on topics and challenges them to ask the big enough

: “Not exactly, but the funny thing is that I began applying for internships at local software companies. When I described this research project to them, I found that most of the people working in software today don’t really know the origins of their own field. By describing the early software systems and PC business models, I had something interesting to talk about with them, and in a way I had a leg up on my competition.

In other classes, I am able to have discussions on how to come up with the best decision method or how to be a supportive leader or manager.” A critical

footprints. There was just one problem— the project had not yet begun.  Since video is made up of moving images, the idea is to actually show something happening, but what could the team do when all we had to work with was an idea? We discussed a few well known advertisements, such as the UPS Whiteboard Campaign, “The Story of Stuff,” and “The History of Education” by Lightspeed Systems (see below). After doing this research, our first thought was to use simple animations generated in a motion graphics

teaching, like a skill for writing or a skill for critical thinking, never loses value. School systems will always need high-quality, passionate teachers. According to Department of Education data, in 2011, 48% of the teaching population had more than 10 years of experience. More recent data from 2017 suggest that the “average teacher” has 14 years of working experience.Work for diversity and positive social changeCompassion, empathy, communication, and respect are life skills that are learned early on

health care is also caused by lack of integration and communication between systems and providers. For example, a diabetic may concurrently receive health care services from a clinic, home care service, hemodialysis unit and a hospital. If a low blood sugar noted during dialysis treatment is not communicated to the clinic, the diabetic may require extra home health visits or a preventable hospitalization. The two major political parties have extremely different views about the issue of providing
