Two courses are added in the senior year, electricpower systems (required) and high voltage engineering (elective).The contents of the elective high voltage engineering course are outlined in the following: · Introduction to high voltage systems · Generation of high voltage · Measurement of high voltage · Gas dielectrics · Liquid dielectrics · Solid dielectrics

Students were allowed to repeat the work because the program generated a newproblem each time. The final solution was always correct but the score was reduced ateach step by the points lost at each wrong answer. The paper describes how these ideascan be implemented using a variety of available authoring software. Student evaluation ofthese methods of teaching will be presented.I.

Laboratory sessions are expensive, long to prepare and theirefficiency is sometimes affected by parasitic phenomena that make the interpretation oflaboratory results difficult. The use of films is also long and costly. In addition, films make itimpossible to separate the different phenomena that come into play in a manufacturing
