This is the third year that miniGEMS is being held at UIW. Four two-week miniGEMScamps were hosted at UIW for a total of eight weeks starting June 5 till August 4 this summer.The primary goal of the camp was to introduce more female students to the field of Engineeringthrough robotic projects, computer programming, graphic design, and guest speakers.

In 2015 the labs revolved around ahaptic device, the Phantom Omni by SenSable Technologies Inc. that was donated to theDepartment of Engineering. At the end of 2015, the department purchased an EON Reality IcatcherVR system. The first set of labs with this system was offered in Fall 2016.

infrastructure. Figure 1: Utility Involvement in microgrids2Although the power industry adopts the advanced technology of microgrids into theirinfrastructure, universities have fallen behind. Universities primarily teach electric machines andpower system analysis with the assumption that the grid remains largely electro-mechanicallycontrolled. This results from a lack of modern power systems equipment and accompanyinglaboratory material to teach its use. The protective relays in laboratories typically don’t utilizemicroprocessors, making modern control and protection schemes hard to teach. While theindustry has adopted new technologies to address problems associated with centralizedgeneration, a new wave of electrical engineers
