Introducing Electric Power Into a Multidisciplinary Curriculum for Network Industries

Abstract

Abstract-A qualitatively different graduate level curriculum for teaching electric power systems is needed. The motivation for such a new curriculum is outlined, and a specific program, now being implemented at Carnegie Mellon University, is described. The new curriculum: 1) provides students with a multidisciplinary introduction to the changing problems of the industry; 2) stresses the need for teaching systematic approaches to formulating power system problems; and 3) integrates teaching of the fundamentals for power systems with the fundamentals for other network industries. The program, referred to as the MS in Electric Power Systems (MSEPS) Program, is being developed as a special power-focused track within Carnegie Mellon's existing multidisciplinary Information Networking Institute (INI).

Academic Use of Rapid Prototyping in Digitally Controlled Power Factor Correctors

“…For this reason, their training includes knowledge of various branches, such as mechanical, electrical, materials, systems and automatic engineering, electronic engineering, installation and construction, design and production, energy, environment, direction, and management, etc., which allows them to be at the service of society applications in which these branches of knowledge must be suitably combined [3]. It is a challenge to integrate and unite this knowledge, giving students a comprehensive perspective that requires combining multiple knowledge [4] and facing a practical technical challenge [5] under the supervisor guidance, and this is the aim of degree final projects (DFP).…”
