past 50 years. It is particularly tempting to stick with thesetried and true subjects since they are key ingredients of most popular thermodynamics textbooks. Electrical Engineering Technology courses face the same challenge. EET power courseshave emphasized the same basic topics for many years. If EET power graduates are expected towork on large-scale electrical distribution systems, it makes sense to emphasize that topic in theircoursework. However, educators must recognize the long-term challenges facing our power-hungry civilization. Technology used today may not be the best solution for tomorrow. Thisrecognition should begin to influence what new material is delivered in traditional undergraduatecourses. Emerging technologies, such
