’ knowledge of information literacy and ethics was evaluated by the analysisof pretest and post test scores.Introduction Information literacy and ethics is a set of abilities requiring individuals to findinformation effectively, and use information ethically. The abilities to locate and use informationproperly are crucial for engineering students to complete their coursework, to perform their jobsin engineering, and to become successful lifelong learners. First of all, engineering students needthe information literacy skills to conduct literature review for course projects, senior designs, andtheses. Second, it is impossible for engineering students to get all solutions to engineeringproblems from their coursework. Instead, students must be

This project was part of an undergraduate research supported by NSF and theUniversity of Minnesota Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program.I. IntroductionThe objective is to develop a system that emulates a wind turbine. Previous efforts in thisdirection have employed separately excited DC machines1,2 with power ratings in the multiplehorsepower range. The intended application of the system described in this paper is forundergraduate laboratory courses. Thus, a system that works at lower voltages is desired.Existing laboratory equipment such as DC
