This paper will present a new course organization and contents, and covers topics on educating and teaching our students on how to use advanced computer application software in classroom and laboratory environment to learn and improve their ideas for modeling, simulation, and design of energy distribution systems, especially in the areas of power distribution network. Advanced computer applications will be used for teaching and research in the areas of residential, industrial and commercial systems. The paper will focus on teaching and learning, and covers such areas as course development, organization and content; laboratory equipment and experiments; design concepts and ideas; software tools available; and the student projects. The proper application design using current industry standards and available software will be targeted for teaching. Rationale for developing a new course Some major concerns being faced by teaching courses and laboratories in the areas of energy distribution network particularly in the area of power distribution network. Some of these concerns are: 1) Not enough practical hands-on software tools are introduced to the students; and 2) How do we teach our students to model the power distribution network grid system; and 3) How to design and simulate the power distribution network system; and 4) How do we provide as set of decision support tools; and 5) Learn how to better use these software tools so that for example you can affordably and effectively manage outages in the energy distribution networks, given decreasing resources; and 6) Learn how to cost-effectively integrate existing information systems so that they work collectively to support business activities such as diagnosis, scheduling and repair planning.
