The BEST program isdifferent than many robotics type programs in that the cost to the schools is minimized.The local BEST Hub provides their schools with returnable kits and non-returnable kitsto be used to construct the robot for that year’s competition. The non-returnable kits, inthis case, consist of a relatively large box of materials to be used in construction. Theseare not robot kits that are assembled. The robots must be built from scratch with the rawmaterials provided. The game is different every

Historically, this course waspresented without requiring the use of the personal computer. This past year, the PowerWorldSimulator software 1, packaged with the text book 2 was incorporated. With the power systemanalysis software, the student was given the capability to model complex power systemsconsisting of generators, transmission lines, and rotating/non-rotating loads. The software wascapable of performing a load flow analysis of a power system. Also, the students could analyzevarious types of faults for

During a normally scheduled laboratory, the electrical engineering andtechnology students demonstrate the operation of an electric circuit to their laboratory instructor.In an effort to better prepare the students for their laboratory session and reduce the amount oftime the students and laboratory instructors spend in the formal laboratory environment, a systemof personally owned, student hardware was created to allow students to perform any necessarywork at the student’s individual residence at a low cost. This allows
