Combined Research Curriculum Development: Flexible Power System Control

摘要：EEC-9527345，密苏里大学罗拉分校，斯科特·苏德霍夫博士：该奖项向密苏里大学罗拉分校提供资金，以支持名为“灵活电力系统控制”的综合研究课程开发计划。CRCD项目强调需要将重要技术领域令人振奋的研究进展纳入高等本科和研究生工程课程，并激励教师研究人员对素质教育和课程开发给予新的、同等的重视。在密苏里大学罗拉大学、阿肯色大学和堪萨斯州立大学的多机构研究团队的指导下，这项为期三年的课程将设计两门新课程，为学生提供对配电和输电系统基础知识的牢牢掌握，并向学生介绍这些系统控制方面的高级主题。该项目的新特点包括多机构合作、学生咨询团队、虚拟教室以及交互式计算机练习和设计。参与CRCD项目的教职员工将培养和传播研究人员的专业知识，以加强每个学校的电力工程项目。此外，该项目将不仅依靠现场教员的经验，而且还依靠其他机构研究人员的经验，为学校提升学生的教育体验奠定基础。

Abstract: EEC-9527345, University of Missouri Rolla, Dr. Scott Sudhoff: This award provides funding to the University of Missouri Rolla for support of a Combined Research Curriculum Development Program entitled, "Flexible Power System Control". The CRCD program emphasizes the need to incorporate exciting research advances in important technology areas into the upper level undergraduate and graduate engineering curricula and stimulates faculty researchers to place renewed, equal value on quality education and curriculum development. This three year program under the direction of a multi institutional team of researchers from the University of Missouri Rolla, University of Arkansas, and Kansas State University will design two new courses to provide students with a firm grasp of the fundamentals in distribution and transmission systems and to introduce the students to advanced topics in the control aspects of these systems. Novel features of this program include multi institutional cooperation, student consulting teams, virtual classrooms and interactive computer exercises and design. The faculty involved in this CRCD program will cultivate and disseminate the expertise of the researchers to enhance each school's power engineering program. In addition, this project will lay the groundwork for schools to enhance the educational experience of their students by relying not only on the experience of on site faculty, but also on the experience of researchers at other institutions.
