Abstract :
This paper presents a course in power systems analysis developed for offer at the sophomore level as part of the required undergraduate electrical engineering curriculum at Iowa State University. We describe the criteria used in developing the course, the topical coverage and a set of computer modules, developed to facilitate learning of particularly difficult concepts while heightening student interest, that run in the MATLAB environment
