Jawa founded and developed APlusStudent Inc., an online supplemental education company focusing on K-12 education. He transformed APlusStudent from a mere concept to a leading content provider. Dr. Jawa also served as a faculty member at Kettering University, MI (formerly known as GMI) and Rowan University, NJ. At Rowan, he was one of the early faculty members responsible for developing a new, multidisciplinary engineering program. At Kettering he received Rodes Professorship award for outstanding teaching. He was one of the authors whose work in developing an introductory level design course received ASME Curriculum Innovation Award. Dr. Jawa enjoys teaching and is always in search of ways to make learning meaningful, relevant, and engaging. uei-jiun Fan, California State Polytechnic University-Pomona Dr. Fan is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Associate Dean of the College of Engineering at Cal Poly Pomona. For over fifteen years of tenure at Cal Poly Pomona, he has taught a variety of engineering courses and has diverse engineering experiences in his areas of specialty.
This paper will present a structured course in student's project design and applications using the concept of Universal Design Learning (UDL). Universal Design is an approach to designing course instruction, materials, and content to benefit people of all learning styles without adaptations or retrofitting. Universal design provides equal access to learning, not just simply equal access to information. Universal design allows the students to control the method of accessing information while the instructor monitors the learning process and initiates any beneficial methods.
He has published many papers and currently conducting projects in the areas of smart grid, embedded systems, software engineering, and operating systems.
He has many years of industrial experience and practiced engineering profession as an electrical engineer for Litton Industries. His professional experience includes working as a senior engineer and supervisor in one of the largest power company, Tennessee Valley Authority, in the areas of Substation Deign and Metering.
This paper will present a new course organization and contents, and covers topics on educating and teaching our students on how to use advanced computer application software in classroom and laboratory environment to learn and improve their ideas for modeling, simulation, and design of energy distribution systems, especially in the areas of power distribution network. Advanced computer applications will be used for teaching and research in the areas of residential, industrial and commercial systems. The paper will focus on teaching and learning, and covers such areas as course development, organization and content; laboratory equipment and experiments; design concepts and ideas; software tools available; and the student projects. The proper application design using current industry standards and available software will be targeted for teaching.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
