An analysis of the publishedliterature is then presented to identify best practices and knowledge-gaps. Using this analysis,the requirements for computer simulation tools for use in undergraduate education is developedin context of the power engineering domain. The paper concludes with examples of the use ofsimulation in modeling in a modern energy systems course at Purdue University and a survey ofsimulation tools used by electric utilities to connect the research to academic and industrialpractice

PRA has been used to assessthe designs of high hazard, complex, low risk systems (such as chemical manufacturing plantsand nuclear power plants). PRA examines events that contribute to adverse outcomes through theuse of event tree analysis and determines the likelihood of event occurrence through fault treeanalysis.4.3 Establishing and Upgrading LaboratoriesIt is believed that technology concepts are best learnt with hands-on activities.

Using an equivalent face-to-face and online course modalitycomparison, Aragon et al. [11] found that course performance was not impacted by instructionmodality. If hybrid and online courses are well designed and carried out intentionally, the coursecan be successful in engaging a positive student attitude [11], [12].
