of a Power Systems Course for EETAbstract:There are a number of areas that a modern Power Systems course in EET should consider. Oneis the conflict between laboratory experiences traditionally taught in an Electrical Power Courseand the ArcFlash requirements of NFPA 70E. A second is the need to teach the calculations offaults necessary to build a modern one-line diagram for a manufacturing facility. A third is alook at the theory behind all electrical and magnetic circuit design (Maxwell’s Equations). Apossible fourth is the expanded role of emerging energy generation methods and the impact thesehave on the grid. This paper discusses the development of various methods used to teach thetraditional Motors or Power Systems course while

One approach used currently is to employcomputational or multimedia components that will supplement or replace the existing coursematerial. This provides opportunities for better visualization that can aid in teaching qualitativeconcepts [7] and provides simulated experimental experiences. Research has been undertaken aspart of a NSF Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement proof-of-concept grant todevelop this type of material for thermodynamic and thermal science courses.II.

Realizing the potential for increasing the facultyworkload by adding a new course to curriculum would be of central concern, we identifiedfaculty who volunteered to teach the new junior and sophomore level courses. We alsoredistributed the teaching assistant allocation so that no new teaching assistant slots would berequired to implement the new design sequence. Furthermore, we identified several faculty whoenthusiastically championed the idea of having senior students participate in the researchprojects. As a result of these efforts, the vote for adopting the new design sequence was nearlyunanimous.ImplementationFollowing a vote to adopt the new design sequence

this paper, we detail the ongoing efforts at Drexel University, aimed at adapting the successesof previous experiences in teaching sensor networks at the undergraduate level1-6, to create a newlaboratory-based undergraduate course in sensor networks, and to make extensive use of the newlaboratory’s modular experiments in other courses and disciplines. The project is funded by NSFCCLI program of the Division of Undergraduate Education.Sensor networks as a pedagogical toolWe believe that sensor network experiments can be very pedagogical in illustrating manyabstract concepts in other courses/disciplines. For example, medium access and routing protocolscan be used in undergraduate networking sequence courses; basics of radio communication

frequency response, the signal frequency has to be stepped, the measurement beingrepeated at every step to gather data points to plot the response as a function of the frequency. Inprinciple the input and output voltage amplitude measurements can be accomplished very simplyby employing two AC voltmeters. However, most undergraduate teaching laboratories areequipped with only one meter per station. Besides, most DMMs have a very limited frequencyrange, typically less than 100 KHz. Beams[2] has shown that, with external circuitry controlled bya PC, one can multiplex the input and the output signals into a single voltmeter.

Repeating the one-credit laboratory would confirm that they understood the material but this was ofsecondary importance to the real lesson that needed to be learned, ethics. It isimportant to note that ethics and the student code of conduct are tied to theacademics while in college: whereas, ethics and professional codes are what weexpect in industry. The tie is ethics in general and, if we can assist students inthinking and behaving ethically, there is a chance that they will develop thecharacter necessary to be successful in industry. There is one more caution, goodethical behavior in college does not
