Universities are institutions with an assignment to produce engineers for the industry.
In recent years the deregulation of the electrical power industry modified the requirements of engineering education. There is a trend that new engineers obtain a much broader knowledge than their predecessors. The changing needs of the American industry suggest that the curricula should be modernized and brought into line with industry needs. One element common to power engineering course modernization is the revamping of presentation techniques to make the courses attractive to the students through the use of computer equipped classrooms, interactive problem solving and multimedia presentation. These methods improve teaching efficiency and increase student interest.
