The selected course has heavy loads ofmathematics and physics knowledge while having one prerequisite of Introduction to Electricaland Computer Engineering and two co-requisites including Applied Engineering Analysis andPhysics for Scientists and Engineers. The Applied Engineering Analysis course prepares studentswith knowledge of the analysis of engineering problems using linear algebra and ordinarydifferential equations (ODE’s). The physics course covers knowledge of electricity andmagnetism, fundamentals of circuits, electromagnetic induction, and alternative current (AC)circuits. All these topics in the co-requisites are foundations for the Network Theory course.Students registered in the Fall of 2022

The wind-energy modular training unit is a system that safelyconverts kinetic to electrical energy using the rotational motion from a wind turbine in acontrolled environment. For indoor use, a 24-volt DC motor was used to simulate the wind effecton the shaft of a generator of a traditional wind turbine.By the end of this project, the team was able to
