Take Leonardo da Vinci(born 1452) for example, who was equally as great an artist as an engineer. In recent years, therehas been a resurgence in efforts to bring these disciplines more closely together by adding thearts back into STEM education – or moving from STEM (science, technology, engineering andmath) to STEAM (science, technology, arts, engineering, and math).

Universities primarily teach electric machines andpower system analysis with the assumption that the grid remains largely electro-mechanicallycontrolled. This results from a lack of modern power systems equipment and accompanyinglaboratory material to teach its use. The protective relays in laboratories typically don’t utilizemicroprocessors, making modern control and protection schemes hard to teach.
