5.0 ACADEMIC AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION

Teaching-Courses Developed and Taught

o

EE 251 Introduction to Modern Power Analysis (1995F, 1996F, 1997F, 1998F, 1999S, 2000S, 2001F).
This course was developed by J. McCalley, V. Vittal, G. Sheble, and V. Ajjarapu. Dr. McCalley was
responsible for development of 50% of this course, including 5 weeks on probability and statistics.
Included in the course development were design and development of interactive, graphical software as
a computer aid to the instruction. The courseware used in EE 251 exists in a modular fashion as
prescribed by PowerLearn, a courseware development approach developed by Dr. McCalley and
colleagues.
o

EE 303 Energy Systems and Power Electronics (2001F, 2002S, 2003S, 2004S). This course has 2/3 of
the content from EE 251 with an additional 1/3 new content. Of this additional 1/3 new content, Dr.
McCalley was responsible for directly developing about half of it and responsible for coordinating with
other faculty the development of the remainder. The courseware used in EE 303 exists in a modular
2
fashion as prescribed by PowerLearn, a courseware development approach developed by Dr. McCalley
and colleagues. Dr. McCalley includes in his instruction of this course a plant tour to either the Ames
power plant or the ISU power plant.
o

EE 458, Economic Systems for Electric Power Planning (2004 F, 2005F, 2006F). This course was
developed with Professor Ratnesh Kumar of ISU Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
and Professor Oscar Volij of ISU Department of Economics. The course was taught to 38 on-campus
students and 5 off-campus students via videostreaming during fall 2004, 35 on-campus students fall
2005, and 30 on-campus plus 5 off-campus students during fall 2006.
o

EE 653A Evaluation of Transmission Service in a Less Regulated Environment (1994S, 1994F). This
course was developed by J. McCalley and G. Sheble and taught Spring 1994 to 15 on campus
students. It was also videotaped and taught to 5 off-campus students for Fall 1994. Dr. McCalley was
responsible for development of 70% of this course.
o

EE 653G Power System Security Assessment Under Uncertainty (1999F). This course was developed
entirely by J. McCalley and taught to 15 students. Dr. McCalley included in his instruction of this
course a plant tour to the Mid-American Energy Control Center in Des Moines.
o

EE 653D Power System Reliability Analysis (2002F, 2005S). This course was developed entirely by J.
McCalley and taught to 8 on-campus students and 5 off-campus students via videostreaming. Dr.
McCalley developed 22 course modules in teaching this course, all of which were subsequently made
available on the PowerLearn web site.

EE 457 Power System Analysis II (1996S, 1997S, 2006S)
EE 491/492 Senior Design Projects (1997F-1998S, 1998F-1999S, 2003F-2004S (2 of them), 2004S-2004F)
EE 490 Independent Study; 1994S, Brian Brownlow; 1999F, Chee-wooi Ten
EE 553 Steady-State Analysis (1993F, 1994F)
EE 554 Dynamic Analysis (2001S, 2002S, 2003S). Students in the 2002 offering of this course included 8
industry engineers taking the course off-campus using videostreaming.

Research

Between 1992 and 1998, Dr. McCalleys research in electric power spanned three areas: security
assessment, control and analysis of interarea oscillations, and educational modules for power engineering.
From 1998 to 2004, Dr. McCalley continued the work on security assessment and educational modules, and
has also become engaged in four additional areas related to power and energy systems: asset management,
integrated analysis of multiple energy systems, defense systems for preventing catastrophic consequences
following disturbances, and control system planning. Since 2004, Dr. McCalley has concentrated his
research on these latter four areas winning large interdisciplinary NSF awards for the first two.
