The Importance Of Electrical Safety Training In Undergraduate Power Engineering Education

Abstract

Ravel F. Ammerman (Member IEEE) received his BS in Engineering in 1981 at Colorado School of Mines (CSM), Golden, Colorado. He also received his MS in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems and Control) at the University of Colorado in 1987. He has over 24 years combined teaching and industrial experience. Mr. Ammerman has coauthored and published several technical articles on Engineering Education, Curriculum Development, and Computer Applications related to Power Systems Engineering. Mr. Ammerman is an accomplished teacher having received the CSM Graduating Senior Outstanding Teaching Award in Electrical Engineering on numerous occasions. Currently, Mr. Ammerman is pursuing his Ph.D. degree in Engineering Systems (Electrical Specialty -Power Systems). His research interests include Computer Applications in Power Systems Analysis, Electrical Safety, and Engineering Education. Pankaj Sen, Colorado School of Mines Pankaj K. (PK) Sen (Sr. Member IEEE) received his BSEE degree (with honors) from Jadavpur University, Calcutta, India, and the M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the
