During August 2000, I had the opportunity to teach a course on Transmission Line Design and Construction in Bangkok, Thailand. This opportunity came about through my summer consulting experience with GAI Consultants, Inc. (GAI). The Pennsylvania State University’s Advanced School of Power Engineering hired GAI to teach the course to engineers from Thailand’s Provincial Electric Authority. This paper discusses the experience, frustrations, and rewards of teaching the civil engineering aspects of transmission line design and construction to thirty-two electrical engineers in Bangkok, Thailand. The cultural exchange provided by this experience is also discussed.
