Such a perception can be justified by the fact that thepower program in our school has recently seen an increased enrollment partially attributed to ourfaculty using advanced software tools to educate the students. This in turn allows for continuousimprovement of the curriculum so that it stays modern and attached to the trends of the ever-expanding power systems engineering field.Bibliography1. G.T. Heydt & V.

Much of the research associated with this funding has focused on K-12education and more specifically with increasing student achievement in STEM areas beginningin Kindergarten. This growing concern to increase student achievement has resulted in a pushfor practitioners to utilize what has been termed, inquiry instruction, in the classroom. The term inquiry has been used in numerous journal articles, textbooks, pre-serviceeducation courses, and professional development workshops.
