Forty years ago a company named Heathkit® produced educational kitsfrom which many enthusiasts learned the basic theory and practice of electronics.

Engineering has made funds available through small grants forutilizing technologies to enhance teaching and learning. The effort described here was initiatedfor a first course in the area of power systems and energy conversion for undergraduates. Thiscourse follows a course in circuit analysis. The specific topics for the calculation modulesthought to be most useful would be for illustration of phasors as related to a 3-phase system,transformer circuit modeling and circuit analysis, and rotating machine (DC, 3-phase ACinduction and synchrous) modeling and analysis.Undergraduate students who have recently taken this class are the primary participants in thedesign and development of the modules.
