Background A vital part of engineering education is to convey to students the engineeringmarvels that exist and how they were developed. A prerequisite for this evaluation is alsorequires a fundamental review and understanding of the history, design and operation ofthe existing central electric power system. It works so well that it is typically ignored oris taken for granted, except for the very rare system failures that are dubbed blackouts. Itshould always be appreciated as the technological marvel that is now vital to life andcivilization as we now know it.

However, undergraduate students inscience, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields have few opportunities to workas course instructors or teaching assistants, and even fewer opportunities to explore and developscholarly approaches to teaching.Although many undergraduates gain teaching experience through peer tutoring programs, theseprograms usually do not provide formal training for peer tutors about best practices for STEMinstruction.
