Module Based Multimedia Courseware Development for Power System Education

爱荷华州立大学（ISU）和弗吉尼亚理工学院（VPI）之间的这个合作项目的目标是为电力系统工程提供一种课程开发方法，使其能够灵活地适应当今快速变化的教育和工业环境，通过计算机的使用提高团队效率，建立合作团队方法，使课程内容现代化，诱导行业参与学术课程设计。将电力系统教育扩展到其他工程领域，并有助于吸引最优秀的学生。我们将通过实施模块化课程开发方法来实现这些目标，即在拟议的工作中开发与电力系统相关的团队数据包，称为基本模块。这些基本模块，通过VyrEB维护和传播，每个模块将由一个演示文稿，一个库和至少一个基于matlab的模拟器组成。每个基本模块都是自包含的，但足够狭窄，可以作为一个组件快速而轻松地开发一组课程材料，并且模块修改很简单，因此可以根据特定需求定制一个或多个模块。为使工业界参与模块开发提供了一个明确而现实的计划，其中工业界参与模块的规范，并最终通过为员工举办的迷你课程使用模块。我们希望为电力系统教育提供一个新的方向，同时激发未来和现在的学生和工业工程师的兴趣，为保持高质量的电力项目和培养受过高等教育的工程师提供一个至关重要的联系。我们的方法也适用于其他工程学科，我们期望在这项工作中嵌入的跨学科推广将导致其广泛传播，同时提供将电力系统问题整合到其他课程中的额外好处。

ECS-9619308 Phadke The objective of this collaborative project between Iowa State University (ISU) and Virginia Polytechnic Institute (VPI) is to provide a course development approach to power system engineering that allows flexibility to today's fast-changing educational and industrial environment, increases teaming efficiency via computer usage, builds on cooperative teaming methods, modernizes course content, induces industry participation in academic course design, extends power system education into other engineering fields, and contributes towards attracting the very best students. We will accomplish these goals via implementation of a modular course development approach whereby power systeni-related teaming packets, called basic modules, are developed in the proposed work. These basic modules, maintained and disseminated via the VyrEB, will each consist of a presentation, a library, and at least one MATLAB-based simulator. Each basic module is self-contained yet narrow enough to be included as a component in quickly and easily developing a set of course material, and module modification is simple, thereby allowing for module adaptation in tailoring one or more to a specific need. A clear and realistic plan for obtaining industry participation in module development is provided whereby industry is involved in the specification of the modules and ultimately their use through mini-courses held for employees. We expect to provide a new direction in power systems education that will stimulate and motivate interest simultaneously from prospective and present students and engineers in industry, providing a linkage that is critical for maintaining quality power programs and producing highly educated engineers. Our approach is also appropriate for use in other engineering disciplines, and we expect the interdisciplinary outreach embedded in this work will result in its wide dissemination, simultaneously offering the additional benefit of integrating power system problems into other curric ula.
