Abstract

In this paper, we consider collaborative power systems education through the FEEDER consortium. To increase students' access to power engineering educational content, the consortium of seven universities was formed. A framework is presented to characterize different collaborative education activities among the universities. Three of these approaches of collaborative educational activities are presented and discussed. These include 1) cross-institutional blended courses ('MS-MD'); 2) cross-institutional distance courses ('SS-MD'); and 3) single-site special experiential courses and concentrated on-site programs available to students across consortium institutions ('MS-SD'). This paper presents the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
