hasintroduced significant challenges for traditional transmission protection schemes. Thesechallenges arise from the unique characteristics of IBRs, including their low short-circuit currentcontribution and fast dynamic response, which differ significantly from the short circuit responseof conventional synchronous generators. This paper presents the development of comprehensive,hands-on laboratory exercises specifically designed to teach advanced transmission protectionconcepts in systems with substantial large scale IBR integration. The laboratory exercises focuson a critical protection element: line differential (87L) protection. Utilizing a real-time digitalsimulator integrated with physical digital relays, the exercises replicate realistic

so that the bulk of their work is to implement the control systemand, therefore, learn the actual course content for the lab session.This paper introduces an innovative, low-cost robotics testbench (RTB) and Raspberry Pi-basedrobot controller (PRC) designed for teaching Python, focusing on robotics in mechatronicseducation. The design of the RTB and PRC are described in detail to provide an accessible pathwayfor learners and educators. The RTB, PRC, and the accompanying experiments allow students tograsp the fundamentals of Python while interacting with various actuators and sensors.The RTB and PRC were developed to support the laboratory of a new course, MXET 250 (RoboticSystems Design) for the Multidisciplinary Engineering Technology (MXET
capabilities,and the desired learning goals. Microscopists can optimize the imaging by adjusting the optics,such as the field and aperture diaphragms. However, this is rarely performed by novices orgraduate students who teach the labs. Unpolarized, reflected light is commonly used formetallographic microstructures, which are also covered in the course, so this technique wasselected for the lab. Ironstone was chosen for the lab assignment due to its ease of imaging andthe parallels in particle size analysis that are relevant to ironstone and engineering materials.Overall, the samples have held up well after use in 8 laboratory sections; one sample was brokendue to improper microscope use, but the other samples remain in good condition.
