A Reflection on Technology
Despite its limitations and dangers, technology can alleviate in part the bind in which humankind naturally finds itself. Appropriate technology can increase life’s possibilities, decrease physical burdens and difficulties at work, and free people from routine activities while opening the door to all kinds of mental creative labor. Natural disasters can be averted, illness overcome, and, in a certain sense, with the aid of electronics and microprocessors, the deaf can hear, the blind can see, and the lame walk again. Technology development can provide a degree of social security, and increase available information so as to extend and deepen communications.
Course Instructions
My objective is to provide you with a learning environment in which you will learn the fundamentals of power systems.
My approach is to encourage the student to learn how to learn. To take ownership of the learning process: Initiative, involvement, interactive participation are the keys to an effective learning experience.
Please keep me informed if you do not feel that I have been successful in this goal. Do not wait until evaluation time to express your frustrations. I want to listen to your concerns or difficulties with the material, and am always available to help you outside the classroom.

An Overview of Power and Energy Systems
Make sure you have your students run LOTS of load flows...
PowerWorld has an excellent demo package for schools. You can be sure to tell them that in the "real world" though, we are running 30,000+ bus load flows!
However, they will NOT have to know anything about wavelets! :-)
We have a lot of positions open and will have more in the near future.
