Power engineering education with Wikipedia — Case study: Electricity sector in Taiwan

Abstract

Education in power engineering is not only about the theory behind power generation, power transmission and power distribution, but also the buildup of understanding of top- down approach and also on the field application side about how all of these sectors are interrelated to each other and how it changes over time. With the growing world population and the increasing demand of green and renewable energy, all of power engineering and electricity sector are expected to keep increasing and changing fast. Wikipedia gives the flexibility of learning for a student to develop a full understanding of the subject based on top-down or bottom-up approach and keep up-to-date to all changes happen to these based on any change made at the field.
