Significant Government and industry funding is being targeted towardsimplementation of Smart Grid as well as other activities to modernize existing electric powersystem. These efforts are critical to achieving renewable energy development, electric vehicleadoption, and energy efficiency improvements. Existing skills shortage and aging workforce inpower industry makes it critical to reinvent commitment to training of current workforce andeducating new cadre of power engineering professionals. Such education and training requiresclose cooperation of constituents including academia, power utilities, and manufacturers ofelectrical equipment.Smart Grid laboratory

As such, there needs tobe a systematic approach to testing in order to restrain the overall cost. This demands a carefulstudy of probable faults in digital systems and the techniques to detect them efficiently. Studentsin the related engineering disciplines need to be educated accordingly.Limitation of traditional courses: Most of the traditional courses deal with the design elements ofdigital systems.

In senior design courses, assigning real-world design projects is imperative to prepare the students for the job they may be performingthe following year. In the basic engineering science courses, however, finding design projectsthat engage the students, that demonstrate the real-world applications of the basic engineeringscience, and that do not seem like “busy-work” to the students requires imagination.
