For practicality, we tie the policy of progress on portfolioentry categories to the number of credits in each project course. Thus, each semester, aproject student must include an entry (i.e., artifact(s) and reflective commentary) for at Page 23.1344.9least one activity per project course credit.

. Arc Flash is due to the rapidrelease of energy caused by an arcing fault between two phases or from a phase to ground of anAC power circuit. The discharge of energy may be massive and vaporize copper causing an arcblast devastating everything in its path. This may be more easily described in the followingfigure or from the YouTube video inadvertently shown in the EET class a year ago. The resultsare devastating.Why the focus on Arc Flash?The study of arc flash dates to the early 1980's paper "The Other Electrical Hazard: Electric ArcBlast Burns" by Ralph Lee which was published in the IEEE Transactions on IndustrialApplications.

Design briefs were then swapped between student teams–through a process thatensured the anonymity of the delivering team–to create the starting point for the conceptualdesign phase. In this phase, students were required to provide any necessary reframing to makethe problem workable, complete both ideation and selection activities, and produce a conceptualdesign, alternative designs and low-fidelity prototype(s). These designs were then swappedbetween teams as in the previous iteration so that each team had a new type of
