Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
Students will participate face to face in:
* Classroom tutorial activities are designed the knowledge to develop the skills to select, set up and monitor a power system. Students will be required to describe the elements of a typical power system with emphasis on transmission, distribution and tarrif of a specific power system.
* Work simulation activities focus in technical leadership activities, which include: team building, identify team member’s work task, clear and concise dissemination of ideas and information, planning and organising activities to meet requested standards. As a part of the team students will be asked to propose project in simulation to the power system.
Course Contents:
