In terms of teaching methods, a combination of lecturing andhands-on learning is selected. Studio-style teaching is reported to enhance student learning, compared to theclassical lecture and lab formats.

opportunities for exploration and discovery, whichalign closely with the learning process of the scientists and inventors who have driven innovationover the past two centuries [3]. As a result, laboratory activities are one of the most essentialcomponents of an engineering education at the undergraduate level. However, traditionallaboratory activities tend to involve the teaching assistants performing demonstrations while thestudents either passively observe or repeat the tasks performed by the TAs. Due to the ever-increasing enrolment levels at universities [4] and the limited resources, equipment, and lab times,there is unfortunately little opportunity to explore “what if” scenarios and to understand theimportance/consequences of certain steps in the

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.
