A practical approach to introducing electrical undergraduates to artificial neural networks
Apr 01, 2009; ... Abstract Artificial intelligence techniques are increasingly being applied to a variety of problems in the field of electrical engineering, and consequently universities worldwide are paying more attention to training electrical engineers in applying neural networks (ANNs) in practice ....
Optimal location of shunt FACTS devices in long transmission lines to improve transient stability
Apr 01, 2009; ... Abstract This paper deals with determination of the optimal location of shunt flexible a.c. transmission system (FACTS) devices for a long transmission line with pre-defined direction of real power flow. The validity of the mid-point location of shunt FACTS devices is verified with ...
Enhancing the teaching of professional practice and key skills in engineering through the use of computer animation
Apr 01, 2009; ... Abstract This paper presents some observations on how computer animation was used in the early years of a degree program in Electrical and Electronic Engineering to enhance the teaching of key skills and professional practice. This paper presents the results from two case studies. First, ...
A new low-cost DSP educational tool for a laboratory for motor control
Apr 01, 2009; ... Abstract There has been an increasing use of modern digital signal processors (DSPs) in industrial control and other applications in the past few years. While courses offered in electrical and computer engineering disciplines cover such topics as mobile and digital communication, image ...
Experiential learning of electromagnetic concepts through designing, building and calibrating a broad-spectrum suite of sensors in a capstone course
Apr 01, 2009; ... Abstract An electromagnetics-based design project was offered to a group of students as their final year (capstone) design project. Their objective was to create a suite of sensors to measure electromagnetic fields over a large range of frequencies. The project resulted in the design, ...
