A multidisciplinary renewable energy laboratory has been established at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo to offer students the opportunity to work on projects related to the energy field that span several disciplines. Currently projects involving five engineering disciplines are being pursued with undergraduate and graduate students being advised by faculty members from across the college. We are utilizing many of the instructional modes available to us spanning from a single unit independent study to a master’s thesis. This paper details some of these projects, highlighting the multidisciplinary nature of the energy field and the quality of the student experience.
