Although higher education has concerned itself with the dearth ofwomen in engineering disciplines, it has focused much of its attention on understanding theexperience of this population as opposed to generating practical solutions to address theirattrition out of these majors. We now have a robust understanding of the barriers women oftenface in engineering contexts, including gender bias that

However, only a relatively small number of faculty at mosttraditional universities had received formal distance learning training and were actually teachingin an online platform. Oftentimes these courses were in one way or another a “specialty” courseoffering and were often taught in disciplines outside of STEM. For those courses that hadsuccessfully integrated digital platforms, online learning provided a carefully designed learningecosystem [1]. One of the objectives of these learning ecosystems was to increase access tolearning opportunities through the incorporation of synchronous, asynchronous, flippedclassroom and independent study activities designed to simulate the active learning environment,even in remote

The key to accurate and insightful analysis is having accurate power systems modelswhich require accuracy in all three of these fields [1]. Many power systems analysis courses focusa great deal on the engineering and mathematics side but do not focus as much on the computerscience aspect. Instead, a simulator is used which this capable of performing the algorithms whichsolve for the power flowing through the equipment (transmission lines and transformers) or thecurrents experienced when a fault occurs.
