Adapting Existing Distribution Power Flow Experiments for Outreach Education

Abstract

This paper outlines the adaptation of an existing distribution power flow experiment for use in outreach education. Using an iterative learning and design process with non-engineering students at the pre-college level and the pre- junior, college level, new laboratory materials were developed and a new set of laboratory activities were selected. Assessment surveys developed for both the design process and subsequent execution of the experiments will be presented. Feedback results from the non-engineers will be shared.
