Solar Energy experiments

EET 105 is a course that students take in their first semester for their degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. The purpose of this course is to expose them to the different areas in this program while at the same time giving them the basic analytical tools for upcoming courses.

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology at Penn State Wilkes-Barre is focused on giving students a strong analytical base coupled with the hands-on skills that are required in industry. For this reason, the program puts a strong emphasis on experimenation with current and new technologies. One of these new technologies is solar energy. Studnets in the EET 105 course had the opportunity to evaluate several solar cells and different configurations in these experimental activities.

Working in groups and discussing the results obtained among the members of the group is an essential skill to prepare future industrial and technological leaders.
