university, the first of four courses insequence in electric power engineering. With the exception of DC machines, most of the topicstypical of a junior-level electric machines course are taught in the second course in this sequence.This course significant topics in electric power that all electrical engineers are likely toencounter, not merely subjects unique to those students who propose to make a career of electricpower engineering. For example, the following subjects are taught: dc and single phase acpower fundamentals, inductive and capacitive energy storage, real and reactive power methods,single phase transformers, per unit normalization, electromechanical analogs, heat sinking,magnetic circuits, motor and generator laws, dc motors, dc/dc

example, the outcomes of this study created several lab activities forthe students. During their research, students get to see firsthand the relative merits of the projectand get to use some of the new technologies one-on-one.Instrumentation and energy knowledge and projects are important to prepare students to becompetitive for careers in the growing fields of instrumentation, automation & control, energy-related engineering, science, and technology. Preliminary projections from the Bureau of LaborStatistics state that the number of expected energy related green jobs is expected to increase by11% by 2016, and most of it in environmental or energy-related sectors [23-24] . Edgar Dale’scone of learning shows that participating in discussions
