combinesphysical instruments with real-time digital simulated model to create a test environment with real-time response to various faults on the power network. A three-bus model of a physical 50 kVAmicrogrid testbed is used as a test system featuring effective data communication between physicalautomation controller, overcurrent relay, and a real-time simulator. Coordination of relay tripsignals was achieved for various locations within the microgrid system network throughcommunication protocols linking the automation controller, relays and digital simulator. Throughthis hardware-in-the-loop automation and control setup, students were able to study importantconcepts of protection coordination in a safe laboratory environment and obtain performance

Abstract Laboratory safety poses inherent legal and ethical responsibilities that all engineeringeducation programs in the United States (U.S.) must address. However, developing safer habitsin the creation and testing of engineering design solutions starts long before students enter post-secondary engineering education programs. P-12 engineering education programs are a criticalpartner to develop greater safety awareness and safer habits among prospective engineers andour future workforce. This research utilized data from a national safety study involving 718 P-12engineering educators from 42 U.S. states, specifically focusing on the subsample of 117teachers from middle Atlantic (mid-Atlantic) states. Analyses found mid-Atlantic P
