Delgado-Sanchez, J. M.; Lillo-Bravo, I. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
The design of solar power plants and the operating principles are learned by engineering students during the last academic year. Typically, this subject is taught using the traditional methodology based on lectures where students are not considered as an active player of the class. The aim of this experience was to implement innovative…

Bauer, P.; Rompelman, O. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2005
Present engineering has to deal with increasingly complex systems. In particular, this is the case in electrical engineering. Though this is obvious in microelectronics, also in the field of power systems engineers have to design, operate and maintain highly complex systems such as power grids, energy converters and electrical drives. This is…
