Online information and data of power gridprovided by EIA and RTOs/ISOs will help students to get big pictures from regional power gridoperation to the whole North American electric grid. The new resources will provide studentsexperimental experience with data collected from practical power grid instead of working withphysical experimental systems in a laboratory. It will be significant to improve the undergraduateeducation program in power systems engineering and to attract students for cross-disciplinaryeducation.References[1] G. G. Karady, G. T. Heydt, K.

His team also assisted in the deployment of 84 TACMAV systems in 2005. Around that time he volunteered as a science advisor and worked at the Rapid Equipping Force during the summer of 2005 where he was exposed to a number of unmanned systems technologies. His initial group composed of about 6 S&T grew to nearly 30 between 2003 and 2010 as he transitioned from a Branch head to an acting Division Chief.

For example, Jensen andSchlegel have modified their first year mini-golf hole design project to require students tointerview potential mini-golf customers. Though students’ feedback about this new version ofthe project has been very positive, they only interviewed other people available on campus suchas their friends and because of this the findings of this effort are very similar to those fromtraditional first year hands-on design projects [12].

These components include: “intrusive” academicadvising and support services, an intensive first-year academic curriculum, community-building(including pre-matriculation summer programs), career awareness and vision, facultymentorship, NSF S-STEM scholarships, and second-year support. Successful implementation ofthese activities is intended to produce two main long-term outcomes: a six-year graduation rateof 60%-75% for Redshirt students, and increased rates of enrollment and graduation of Pell-eligible, URM, and women students in engineering at participating universities.

The main purpose is to show students how to verify their paper designs throughsimulation and to introduce students to practical matters they may see in industry. This includesexploring the impact of microstrip bend and tee artifacts in order to make a practical deviceconform to specific ports on a fixture. Students can adjust their designs to re tune their deviceswhen these practical matters are added. Students also use ADS to explore concepts such asvariability in device dimensions or reverse engineering an existing layout given mask dimensionsand measured S parameters.

STEM can be considered as one contentarea or four content areas. We often ask our students to describe STEM. They usually answer bystating the letters S, T, E, and M stand for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, butdo not state any concept of what “STEM” means.
