By balancing thesedifferent philosophies, it may be possible to design a course that is more effective than any onephilosophy could have been. We have attempted to design such a balanced course, modeledafter work done at Purdue University 5, that helps students to learn the fundamentals of eachengineering discipline and build interdisciplinary connections among those disciplines, and wedo so through a balance of traditional lecture and hands-on laboratory and design experiences

They were required to assemble all of the information into tables, both in actual valuesas well as in per unit on a common base, before beginning the analysis. Since the system wassmall, students could manually calculate Ybus and Zbus values and compare them to thePowerWorld results. Any discrepancies had to be resolved in order to get the

sheetspecimen testing confirmed the large accumulation of strain during the first 1,000 cycles.3While strain measurements in undergraduate laboratory experiments are commonly restricted tomechanical extensometry methods, the student had the opportunity to learn about opticalmethods used for strain measurements. A non-contact video extensometry method was employedto measure strain in polymers using LabVIEW. Algorithms performed pattern learning, patternsearching, and displacement measurement between two markers. This method proved to be acost effective method compared to laser extensometers. The error using the video extensometrymethod was less than 5% compared to a laser extensometer. The challenges on markingrecognition were due to inconsistent
