Abstract :
This panel summary will discuss the integration of research on distribution automation and control techniques into power system curriculum. Specific examples of the classroom and laboratory module enhancements at Drexel University will be discussed. Lecture modules covering advanced techniques for improving distribution operating conditions will be presented. Classroom activities are coupled with hardware and software laboratory modules for students to test and validate techniques first-hand. In such a manner, research results have been channeled into educational materials and student assessment and evaluation of these materials have shown a high efficacy.
