Introduction and Overview The modern electric power grid is an intelligent and interconnected system, characterized byan increasing amount of renewable and distributed energy sources and storage, and by smartdevices and sensors that are remotely monitored and controlled in real-time, leading to smartenergy systems / smart grids. This emerging paradigm calls for a revamping of the powerengineering curriculum, with the goal of developing a workforce able to grasp and adapt to theevolving conditions and the enabling technologies. The ideal workforce would still have

The importance of assessment tolearning is underscored by the recognition that it serves as a guiding force for both educators andstudents. The clear definition of learning objectives, as discussed in the literature [1-2], aidsinstructors in selecting appropriate course content, planning lectures, designing assignments, andwriting tests. The relevance of assessment to engineering education is further highlighted by therole of accreditation, particularly through the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET).

This challengeis particularly significant for students from low-income and underrepresented minoritybackgrounds who often begin their higher education journey in community college programswith limited funding and access to engineering hardware. BEADLE, a project designed topromote equity in access to educational technologies, seeks to address this issue by providing anaffordable platform that allows students to remotely access industry-grade hardware to learn anddevelop their skills in digital design as a step towards pursuing advanced digital designcoursework in a

Overall, I had a pretty good experience. • The Project has left a big impact on me because it was very interesting talking to the engineers from the company back in January. It also left a big impact on me personally because it allowed me to land a job at the NSWC in CA. • This project has exposed me to the sensor technology used in unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and this hands-on experience can be transferable to other sensor feedback systems. I learned about the limitations of sensors and other equipment first-hand and the difficulties of getting a system running. A principal engineer is not only skilled in their field but can understand
