There is two-way transmission between the main dispatch and a microgrid. aperformance metric Q for each microgrid is defined as: Q  w1F  w2 E  w3 S Where, F is a cost index of electricity, E is an environmental effect index due toatmospheric emissions, and S is a load satisfaction. Q, F, E, and S are all between 0 and 1. wi(i=1, 2, 3) are weighting factors and  wi  1 . The ultimate objective for each MG is tomaximize its overall performance index. Page 22.35.7

The firststep was to obtain the value of the V (t) across the pump. In order to accomplish this task, weused the NI USB 4065 DMM, a digital multimeter which has the following characteristics ≠ Bus-powered for portability ≠ Small (7.0 by 4.1 by 1.3 in.) and lightweight (10 oz) ≠ 6½-digit resolution ≠ 7 built-in measurements - AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, 2- or 4-wire resistance, and diode test ≠ ±300 VDC/Vrms isolation ≠ 3000 readings/s (maximum) at 4½ digitsThe second step was to measure the current flowing through

It is also important that the faculty responds to eachindividual student privately, preferable via email, regarding the posting(s)/discussion. It is herethat the faculty may continue to question the student with more complicated questions that wouldpromote cognitive and moral growth. It is important to note, that in order to be successful, thefaculty must reward the student, even minimally, for participating in the online discussions withthe assignment of points that will be used in the determination of the final course grade.

collaboration.Broader or More Specific KnowledgeWith the shift from a "planned economy" to a market economy, more graduating studentengineers in China will not be guaranteed a job and assigned to a post. Chinese engineeringschools need to offer more broad based programs to produce more versatile engineers because ofthe jobs available are more varied. Faculty members trained in Russia in late 40’s and throughout 50’s are now retired and replaced by faculty trained in the western world, especially theUnited States. It seems changes in Chinese engineering schools can be done most easily bysimply copying from the best undergraduate curriculum offered in the US. However, aftercareful examination of the current practices in a few US and Chinese engineering schools

In this study, we bring attention to the literature that has quantitively assessed a student’srecognition through two primary questions. These studies have made significant contributions tothe field but have focused mainly on the aspect of being seen (recognized) as an engineer and havemeasured this concept through a student’s self-reflection and through their recognition of howmuch the people in their lives see them as an engineer: • “Parents/Relatives/friends see you as a physics person” and “Science teacher see[s] you as a physics person.” (Hazari et al., 2010

When reflection andthe articulation of future actions follow feedback from peers and enrolled students, undergraduateeducators gain an enhanced understanding of their strengths and challenges and greater ownership andmotivation to improve their educational practices. In summary, we show that feedback, reflection, andgoal setting can guide undergraduate leaders to inclusive, student-centered practices
