The tutorial covers four portions, including the classic power systemprotection schemes, the operation of digital relays, the design of the smart grid, and thePSCAD simulation. Each portion is introduced and discussed in four one-hour lectures.Four projects are carefully designed for each portion of the tutorial. The exchange studentsneed to use the knowledge covered in the tutorial to finish the corresponding projects.Students are also required to submit project reports

Many university students, regardless of major,are themselves music makers as amateur (or sometimes professional) musicians. Exploitingstudents’ interest in music provides a vehicle to teach fundamentals of math and science inSTEM education.This project has taken this idea much further by combining math, science, and engineeringdesign in a block course that satisfies basic mathematics and science requirements of all studentsat Arizona State University. The project built both on students’ interest in music and their needto take math and laboratory science

Numerous STEM students indicated thatwhen learning via a computer screen, they are unable to focus as readily or retain as muchinformation, resulting in a loss of motivation [17]. Prior to the pandemic, students relied onuniversity services like libraries, computer laboratories, and campus wi-fi to complete theireducational requirements; however, these were lost due to school closures [14]. Considering thatyoung people with disabilities do better in supportive environments, preliminary reportsindicated that they struggled during the pandemic [18].

Since the facilities are shared by all departmentsin the engineering college, we may find that some heavily used facilities will need to beduplicated within the department. To engage students in the active learning components, many of these activities will be taughtby a faculty member. A detailed faculty teaching load analysis has been conducted with themodel of 60 students in lecture sections and 30 students in practicum or clinic courses. It hasbeen shown that faculty teaching loads will not increase if graduate teaching assistants are usedfor 1/3 of the practicum or clinic meetings to run laboratories.
