the motor used for characterization or control. The system has amechanical coupling arrangement to couple two electric machines. The motor under testingcould be a DC motor, a three-phase induction motor, or a three-phase permanent-magnet AC(PMAC) motor. The motor requires a controlled pulse-width-modulated (PWM) voltage to run atcontrolled speed or torque that is generated by power electronics drive board.Continuing EducationUTC offers a wide assortment of seminars, workshops, and “lunch ‘n learns” that have provedvery popular with the local power industry. Since October, 2010, over 1,000 industryprofessionals and engineering students have attended these events. Many times, sponsorship byTVA, EPB, SEL, or other industry partners covers the

.”Current Study from Introductory CircuitsThe objective of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of homework done throughWeBWorK on student development and learning, as opposed to traditional homework practices.Multiple studies have been done in the area of mathematics, but this experiment expanded it tothe discipline of engineering. The course chosen for the study was an introductory circuitscourse—Electrical Engineering and Circuits I (ENGR 221). This course is a requirement for allengineering students at Louisiana Tech and covers such topics as the following: fundamentalconcepts (like current, voltage, and resistance), units and laws; network theorems and networksimplification; phasors and AC solution of circuits; and power and

The samesemester, the lead author designed a quasi-experimental study for testing this hypothesis.Another instructor of this course agreed on using his two sections as a control group.Instead of using traditional instruction, the lead author implemented PI in his section, and itwas used as the experimental group. The translated DIRECT test was applied to bothgroups before and after the topic of DC circuits analysis was covered. In the data collectionstage, students were allowed 90 minutes to complete the DIRECT test
