and Substation TourThe objective of Lab2 is to give students the opportunity to tour an electric power plant and associatedsubstation (Figure 3). This field trip is designed to show the relevance and application of powerengineering in an industrial setting. Student’s tour the Louisville Gas and Electric’s Ohio Falls GeneratingStation, a run-of-the-river hydro station with a head of ~35 feet, 8 GE generators, and outputs voltage at13.2kV, with a total capacity of ~100MW. After the completion of the tour, students write field tripreports that summarize the operational aspects of the plant. Figure 3.

A report to congress by the Web-based Education Commission [4] demonstrated theability of web-based education to center learning around the student instead of the classroom andprovide continuous, relevant training. This has the potential of providing a customized learningenvironment, which improves learning and reduces withdrawal and failure rates. Web-basededucation has also been shown to broaden participation of non-traditional students.
