IntroductionClassroom studies by means of software tools are a major part of the senior-level courserequirements of any electrical engineering program that offers majors in power systems. Studentinterest and enrollment however were in decline in this area until recently1, due to the limitednumber of available positions in the related industry and the erroneous impression that electricpower had narrow future for new developments compared to the impressive achievements inother fields of electrical engineering. This trend is changing and it is expected to continue

Specifically, linking and embedding, OLE automation and OLE controls are discussed.Section 3 gives an example using OLE in a generic automation project. Examples of usinglinking and embedding, as well as OLE automation, are related to Microsoft Word and Excel inan automation application. An example of where OLE controls can be used in development isalso discussed. The second half of Section 3 gives a specific example using OLE in a simpleintelligent system.

As it was, they saw that thisproperty of programming languages has a real impact on their results.DiscussionIt could be argued that scientific understanding and cognitive dissonance occur at both theindividual and institutional level. While Kuhn was primarily referring to the institutional orcultural level for expansion and restructuring of scientific knowledge, his arguments apply wellat the individual level, which is where we dwell. In fact, most engineering education attempts toexpand the student's understanding of a subject, segueing from one state of understanding toanother rather than dismissing past understanding and starting anew. As an example, thetransition from momentum to energy methods is one of the few times that this is

It is not clear that such a course will meet the needs for the future.  Men and women are taking calculus for very different reasons, with men predominantly heading into engineering, computing, or the physical sciences and women going largely into the life sciences or teaching.  For example, Klingbeil, Mercer, Rattan, Raymer, & Reynolds [5] described a calculus course that was designed for engineering students by including applications related to engineering, and showed it retained more students in the

This phase also identifieshow subsystems are related, thereby defining the interdependencies within the system.The third phase, the Implementation phase, uses the conceptual abstraction of the system fromthe previous phase as a surrogate model and creates a software tool or a conglomerate ofsoftware tools (i.e., software suite) for the stakeholder [14]. Since this is the last step, thesolution must be validated and refined so that the final solution conforms to the definedrequirements from the first phase.As shown above, the SoS DAI process applies a methodological approach to designing,managing, and integrating complex systems.

CAD is often taught in one or morefreshman or sophomore courses and focuses largely on static geometric issues associated withparts, assemblies, and drawings. It is commonly paired with a track on drafting. SystemDynamics is often a sophomore or junior level mechanical engineering course and emphasizesapplied mathematical modeling of systems from different energy domains, incorporates suchsimulation software as MATLAB® and Simulink®, and could be enhanced by CAD.

A high-level understanding that relates activities and processes to purpose and objectives is expected.
