The TNA operates at a nominal 120V / 208 Vthree phase. Each line segment has voltage and current instrumentation: (current transformers(CT) and potential transformers (PT). It has mechanical circuit breakers with both manualcontrol and remote control logic. The circuit connections are all done with patch cables, so manyconfigurations and measurement taps are possible. All line models are currently single pi.Connected to the TNA is a rack of state of the art protective relays donated by SchweitzerEngineering Laboratories

Thai University of Georgia, Biological & Agricultural Engineering Department Athens, GA 30602-4435Introduction. A major task to develop a new teaching laboratory for the Electrical andElectronic Systems (EES) was undertaken during Spring 2000. This laboratory is used by fourcourses in the Electrical and Electronic Systems area: Circuit Analysis, Electronics, Sensors andTransducers and Motors and Power Distribution. Each of these courses has a laboratorycomponent. The

once started. If this were a motor in a plant, problems such as voltagedimming might be observed during the starting of the motor. A soft-starter could be employed toeliminate such problems. Figure 9Capture of switching transientsNewer power quality meters offer the student the opportunity to observe transient phenomena inaddition to harmonic analysis. Probably the most common power quality disturbance is the high-frequency ringing surge or transient that can occur with capacitor switching, lightning strikes, ortransmission line switching. Such a transient can easily be observed in the laboratory and byrepetitive operation, the student can observe how the transient varies with the time of the eventon the voltage waveform. Figure 10

A usability laboratory was created at the University of Missouri-Rolla. It is supplementsthe traditional assessment for hypermedia tutorials and virtual laboratories. The laboratory isdesigned to provide information on user choices and comfort. The test setup provides (1) a timerecord and progression of intermediate steps and (2) visual and auditory clues to subjectivefactors. The quantitative measures indicate how efficiently and accurately a user comprehendsand navigates. The qualitative measures indicate satisfaction and frustration during the

Both advantages and disadvantages of each of thesetechnologies are discussed and evaluated.IntroductionIn recent years, there has been an increasing interest in many institutions of higher learning tooffer various online courses including those with laboratory components. These courses aremainly designed to compliment and enhance the traditional method of education in general andto provide students with a new and flexible method of learning in particular. The fact that theInternet/Web is currently being utilized extensively in distance-learning1 shows that educationalorganizations have made a strong commitment to distance learning through Internet and WorldWide Web.

learning component. University students conducted visits to two middleschool and one high school class rooms and brought various shapes of interest to the schoolchildren back to the laboratory. A 3D computer model of the shapes was created using theSolidWorks software package. A SolidWorks embedded CFD flow analysis tool was used tosimulate the flow profiles around the shapes. A mold for physical models of the various shapeswas fabricated with a 3D printer using ABS plastic and a subscale test article of each shape wasmade from a silicone elastomer. Subscale tests were conducted using Particle Image Velocimetrytechniques. The university students showed the school children the results of their project on areturn trip to the schools.In order to

that they can function onmultidisciplinary teams, they must also obtain a solid understanding of electrical and computerengineering principles so that they are able to apply these principles themselves as they workwithin their own discipline. To address this need, faculty from Departments of MechanicalEngineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech initiated discussions inSpring 2009 to revise the two service ECE courses that are required in the ME undergraduatecurriculum with the goal to increase the depth and breadth of the theoretical and practicallearning outcomes. As a result of these discussions, it was decided to replace the current lecturecourse on electrical theory with a combined lecture and laboratory course on
