Utilities plan and build their electrical distribution systems to belarge enough to provide enough power to meet the demands of their customers. The more that autility expects its customers to demand, the larger must be the utility’s investment in equipment.Equipment has a capital cost and a maintenance cost. To help meet these costs, most publicutilities have demand charges in their billing structure for commercial and industrial

Computers in Education

Increasing the number of people who enter engineering, computer science, and otherSTEM-oriented fields has been expressed as a national concern over the past two decades as thenation's global economic position has long rested on the robustness of its STEM workforce [1,2]. One area of interest to policymakers and industry leaders is elementary and middle gradeseducation, where initial aspirations to a STEM career take root through encounters with mathand science that can predict later achievement within these fields. Spatial intelligence, or theability to make spatial judgments and visualize, has been shown to be a strong indicator ofmiddle school students’ future achievement in STEM related courses [3-5]. Further, researchershave pointed to spatial
