Unfortunately, today's interconnected digital networks have increased vulnerabilities andcyber threats. The frequency of cyber threats in critical infrastructures and across all applicationsectors has risen. Moreover, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has expanded the threat landscape to a newlevel by integrating sophisticated mechanisms (e.g., automated coding, deepfakes, socialengineering) capable of manipulating and exploiting humans, systems, or networks.

These new and innovative grid technologies includemicrogrids, energy storage systems, and demand response programs which have been developedto enhance grid resilience and flexibility. In addition, the integration of renewable energy sourceslike wind, solar, and hydropower into the grid has expanded significantly. The development ofalternative energies to generate electricity has allowed society to not only rely on conventionalelectrical grids to have constant electricity but also have a backup system to generate electricity.For this reason, distributed energy resources such as rooftop solar panels and small wind turbineshave become common.Microgrids

Itsteaching strategies, combined with assessing knowledge and the infrastructure of modernlaboratories and classrooms, allow students to develop their skills and prepare themselvesprofessionally for the job market. At the same time, engineering education is not valued inBrazil. Its teaching methodologies are traditional and directed towards a final concept. Withthis, essential skills for the job market are partially developed, such as teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
