 My name is Lisa Bosman and I'm working on my PhD in industrial engineering. Industrial engineering is a great discipline of engineering because it allows a lot of flexibility. So where engineers make things, industrial engineers make things better. Or at least we like to think so. A lot of research that's been done with solar energy is typically located in Florida or the Southwest. Makes sense because they have a lot of sunshine there. So where this research is really important is in the Midwest where we have different climatic factors, different temperature, different solar radiation, snow, which does have influence on the solar panel. We are creating more or less a solar energy blue book that would estimate the price of solar panels. So if you install panels on your house and you want to sell it, this will give a midlife type of estimation for solar panels. For the United States we have the Department of Energy, they've initiated the SunShot initiative which is aiming to lower energy, the cost of solar energy about 75% from 2010 to 2020. Where we started off at about 21 cents per kilowatt hour in 2010 and we're currently down to about 11 cents. We have a ways to go to 6 cents to get to the final goal but we're making headway. Going to school at UWM prepared me for my teaching experience. First of all I was able to work as a teaching assistant and so with that I got the experience in the classroom, both lab and a regular classroom, to work with students from different backgrounds, multiple engineering backgrounds. Students really should focus on the STEM majors, you know science, technology, engineering, math, anything they can do around that is going to just increase their experience and exposure to the engineering discipline. I'm Lisa Bosman and I'm a Milwaukee engineer.
