Multidisciplinary Education using Curriculum Re-Engineering,Industry Partnership and Simulation Technology (MERIT 2000)

ECS-9619294凯祖诺维奇公用事业和相关制造业以及咨询和工程服务的变化是由持续放松监管和日益激烈的竞争推动的。一种以客户为中心的新的运营模式正在建立。这种方法不仅重新定义了客户是谁。但客户想要什么，在实现满足客户的目标方面有什么选择。这一过程的一个明显后果是需要一种新的工程师档案来适应新的范例。人们普遍认为，现有的电力工程教育没有提供所需的解决方案。因此，再障患者需要“培养”一位拥有新形象的工程师。这一战略是在提案准备阶段实施的，并将在整个项目中继续下去，目标非常明确，使新教育概念的创造成为21世纪电力工程师的“生产者”和“消费者”之间的共同努力。研究的方法将是收集反映行业需求的行业顾问的意见，对现有的模拟技术进行评估，确定要纳入重新设计的课程的跨学科问题，并确定课堂和实验室教学的方法和实验范例。这项建议的一个重要贡献是将新的模拟技术融入到教学过程中，以提高学生的分析和实践技能。此外，还将使用仿真工具，使传统电力工程专题的教学更加高效和精简，以便将新的多学科专题加入到课程中。这项建议主要侧重于本科教育，并增加了对高中教育的重视。研究生教育和继续教育也将被考虑。

ECS-9619294 Kezunovic The changes in the utility and related manufacturing industry, as well as consulting and engineering services have been driven by continuing de-regulation and increasing competition. A new paradigm of operation where the customer becomes the focus is being established. This approach not only redefines who the customer is. but what the customer wants and what are the options in achieving the goals of satisfying the customer. An obvious consequence of this process is a need for a new profile of an engineer that can fit the new paradigm. There is a wide consensus that the existing power engineering education does not offer the required solution. As a result, the aaademia needs to "produce" an engineer with a new profile. This strategy was pursued at the proposal preparation stage and will be continued throughout the project with a very clear goal to make the creation of the new education concept a joint effort between "producers" and "consumers" of the power engineers for the 21'st century. The research approach will be to assemble inputs from the industry advisors reflecting the industry needs, make an assessment of the existing simulation technology, identify multidisciplinary issues to be included in the re-engineered curriculum, and identify the methodology and experimental examples for classroom and laboratory teaching. An important contribution of this proposal will be incorporation of the new simulation technology into the teaching process to enhance student's analytical and practical skills. In addition, the simulation tools will be used to make the teaching of the traditional power engineering topics more efficient and compressed so that the new multidisciplinary topics can be added to the curriculum. This proposal is primarily focused on the undergraduate education with an addition emphasis on high school education. The graduate and continuine education will be considered as well.
