In islanding mode, thecircuit should be able to isolate sections of the grid when the electrical grid experiences failure. In grid-connected mode, the microgrid has to supply and maintain the power balance to critical loads. Solarpanels act as one of the Distributed energy resource (DER

Instructors often use illustrations,small demonstrations, or videos to illustrate different failure modes and emphasize fundamentalbehavior. However, students rarely have the opportunity to experience full-scale behaviorfirsthand. Testing large scale members requires specialized equipment, and many engineeringprograms do not have access to the necessary facilities or resources to incorporate full-scaletesting into the undergraduate classroom.

One aspect of the project is the “Visualizing Mechanics” section of thewebsite. The visualizations seem to be largely videos that focus on experimental (andcomputational) concept demonstration [13].In 2020, technology companies (Microsoft, Apple, etc.) removed Flash from web browsercapabilities, rendering it obsolete

Mechanical Engineering Design (i.e., Machine Design) at California StateUniversity Chico normally facilitates a semester-long design and fabrication project to givestudents a real-world engineering experience. As an alternative, this paper considers theeffectiveness and benefit of focusing on the documentation and presentation of engineeringanalysis and design work rather than hands-on projects. In a series of activity assignments,students are required to compose short technical reports which document their engineeringanalysis in professional form. Each subsequent assignment had an increased level of analysiscomplexity and documentation which related to the course material. A mid-semester survey
