"This project could be applied academically by using the knowledge gained to further my academic skill set."

-Kyle ZHS

"Of course most of is theoretical so it would be a learning experience."

-Sienna ZHS

"This project can be applied academically by teaching us new things such as communicating with people outside of our peer group and some from other countries, I learned how to analyze data to find the certain watts for our appliances that cause our electric bill to be high. I also learned how to use google sheets to use the math, different types of charts, and bar graphs."

-Mayala ZHS

"I believe that step-by-step learning of the house audit process and bill calculation can be more effective if students gain practical experience during class. By applying the steps they learn in a hands-on setting, they will be better equipped to complete the task accurately and on time."

-Lutfullahil UNM

"This project can be applied academically such that the UNM students that are learning about this material at a high technical level can teach or mentor the Zuni high school students that are working on similar material at a lower technical level. This will benefit both the UNM students, as well as the Zuni students, by improving the mastery of the material in both groups."

-Robert UNM

"By doing this project, I believe Zuni High School students gained a basic understanding of energy consumption. If we can continue doing it regularly, it will definitely help them develop a better understanding of future energy use. I think incorporating this project into their academic curriculum would make them more knowledgeable about this sector. We can integrate this project into their regular coursework."

-Nazmul UNM

"This project can be applied academically by bridging classroom learning with real-world experience. It allows students to use their theoretical knowledge in practical settings, develop essential skills like teamwork and problem-solving, and engage directly with the community."

-Muhammad UNM

"This Zuni project improved my communication skills and design of this project correlates with computer engineering skills."

"This project can be applied to the community by teaching others about the efficiency of power saving to the environment and peoples wallets."

-Kyle ZHS

"Giving to the community."

-Sienna ZHS

"This project can be applied to the community by making them more aware of electric consumption in our homes and help us control our electrical bill."

-Mayala ZHS

"This project was based on real-life work, where students contributed to tasks typically handled by PNM. I believe arranging a visit to PNM would provide students with valuable practical exposure and help them better understand real-world work experiences related to the project."

-Lutfullahil UNM

"This project can be applied in the community by having improved direct communication between the UNM and Zuni students, even outside of the weekly meetings. This would help a level of community be established outside of the context of their engineering project."

-Robert UNM

"Since the students come from the one community, having a strong understanding of renewable energy production and its costs could greatly benefit their community in meeting its own energy demands. As a result, their community life would become easier. They could also help raise awareness among other community members."

-Nazmul UNM

"It can be applied in the community by developing or supporting community solar initiatives. These projects allow multiple households, businesses, or organizations to share the benefits of a single solar photovoltaic (PV) system, even if they can’t install panels on their own roofs."

-Muhammad UNM

"Maybe by doing collaborative projects, incorporating these learnings in the curriculum etc"
