All of the earlyHVDC schemes were developed using mercury arc valves. The introduction of thyristor valveswas demonstrated in 1972 with the first back-to-back asynchronous interconnection at the EelRiver between Quebec and New Brunswick. Since then thyristor valve technology hascompletely replaced mercury arc valve technology. By 2008, a total transmission capacity of100,000 MW HVDC has been installed in

Is our goal simply to teachstudents how things work so that they can be passive employees or consumers in acapitalist economy? Or could the goal of technological literacy be broader and moreactive--that we want our students not only to understand the machine but to comprehendhow individuals, groups, and societies use

The success of these students might encourage otherstudents with similar background to study engineering and other STEM fields.The finding of the range of studies, included the results reported in this paper, can help policymakers develop effective rules for scholarship programs designed to promote STEM. Futurestudies should try to determine if providing scholarships after the freshman year is a cost-effective method of promoting STEM. By providing scholarships after the freshman year, thegraduation rate is high for participants, but many participants might have graduated without thescholarship and

A survey was distributed at the end of thesemester which asked students for their name, gender identity, and for them to categorize theirprior programming experience in terms of time spent programming. The options available forprior experience were listed as follows: “0-10 hours”, “10-100 hours”, “100-1000 hours”, or “Iam a software developer”. 82 students responded to the survey out of the 97 enrolled. Of the 82students who did respond to the survey, all were enrolled in the traditional course and 29 out ofthese 82 students were also enrolled in the lab course
