, they foster their knowledge in diverse engineeringaspects.The development of a state energy assurance plan is, without a doubt, an opportunity that cannotbe found in any curricular program. Students found this project to be a practical exercise tounderstand the interdependencies within the diverse energy sectors and as well as thevulnerabilities of the energy systems infrastructure. Moreover, they were able to analyze theimportance of reliable and resilient systems and its importance over energy assurance planning.The project also afforded a valuable opportunity to research new emerging technologies that arecurrently being developed to enhance reliability and resiliency of energy systems.

opportunities to innovate towards far-offgoals, learning what they must learn, wherever that knowledge can be found, and survivingthe continuous onslaught of superstitions without losing sight of reality.The paper is organized as follows. The genesis of the project is traced from a courseassignment in an International Policy class. The daunting list of concepts to be mastered ifone were to become a true expert in this field, is used to explore alternatives, and define theidea of concept resilience as it applies to students and faculty developing advanced concepts.The evolution of the concept is then traced as students and faculty learned from initial conceptexploration, to finding out the needs and constraints that successively refined or expanded

Also, VirtualBox provides an administration GUI, whereOpenVZ for Linux only provides a command line management interface.2.2 Cloud computing technologiesCloud computing is emerging as the latest generation of distributed computing technology forthis decade, and is an extension of the utility computing concept first developed in the 1960’s 12to a broader class of applications beyond scientific computing.

However, the options at the time were limitedand not well-developed. It was also difficult to train dynamic mentors capable of teachingscience and engineering concepts to a younger audience.

The students are introduced to thecapabilities of the shake table and how to apply structural engineering topics such as lateralbracing. After completing this activity, students should be able to understand simple mechanismsthat improve a structure’s resilience to earthquakes and obtain a visual
