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.

Kezunovic 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的放松管制和日益激烈的竞争所推动的。 正在建立一种以客户为中心的新的经营模式。 这种方法不仅重新定义了谁是客户。而是客户想要什么，以及在实现满足客户的目标方面有哪些选择。 这一过程的一个明显结果是需要一个新的工程师，可以适应新的范式。 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，aaademia需要“培养”出一个新的工程师。 这一战略在提案准备阶段就已实施，并将在整个项目中继续实施，其目标非常明确，即在21世纪世纪的电力工程师“生产者”和“消费者”之间共同努力，创造新的教育概念。 研究方法将是收集反映行业需求的行业顾问的投入，对现有的模拟技术进行评估，确定重新设计的课程中包含的多学科问题，并确定课堂和实验室教学的方法和实验示例。 这项建议的一个重要贡献是将新的模拟技术纳入教学过程，以提高学生的分析和实践技能。 此外，仿真工具将被用来使传统的电力工程主题的教学更有效和压缩，使新的多学科主题可以添加到课程。 该建议主要侧重于本科教育，并强调高中教育。 研究生和继续教育也将被考虑。
