With the growing demand of electrical energy, skilled engineers in power engineering are also desired. Current curriculum in power system courses do not offer students much opportunity to have some hands-on experience with industrial power systems due to the availability and danger of high power. A senior design project cooperated with a local company involved voltage as high as 2.3 kV is described to enhance their experience with industrial level power systems. All of the Students working in the project got a taste of what a power engineer deals with every day. These skills will be advantageous in the job market and prepare them to be successful in their future working field.
