NSF Engineering Research Center for Building Energy System Transformation (BEST ERC)

Project PI & Advisor: Sez Atamturktur

BEST ERC will catalyze fundamental scientific breakthroughs and advanced engineering technologies through work integrating, and thus transforming, the building industry and electric power sectors. We envision a critically important new field in building science, one in which buildings are designed to be distributed nodes of integrated energy generation, storage and utilization capable of coordinated control of onsite energy systems and transactive energy exchange with their neighbors (Geidl and Andersson, 2007; Lee, et al. 2015).

D2P2 (Declarative to Procedural 2)

Revision and maintains on a cognitive based intelligent tutoring tool, D2P2 (Declarative to Procedural 2).

The Declarative to Procedural (D2P) tutoring system is designed to support tutoring procedural skills that can be and need to be described to learners initially with declarative knowledge (Ritter et al., 2013). D2P is a page-based system. Pages are created in XML (in a page editor that can escape into HTML) and the D2P Ruby-based engine displays them. Pages can have tutorial information including videos, images, sound files, text, questions, and simulations.
