• Good videos showing the construction and working principle of both three phase transformer and induction motor were shared with students. A discussion was done on the same in the practical session while demonstrating the different parts of the three phase distribution transformer available in the lab. Similarly, dismantled parts of both squirrel cage and slip ring induction motors were demonstrated.
• To give an idea about different transformer connections, three 1Φ transformers are taken, polarity tests are conducted and connected them to obtain Dy11 (vector group) transformer. Before doing the actual experiment, an additional exercise is done with sticks to form various vector groups. Also, open delta (V-V) connection is done using two single-phase-transformers.
The class is divided into 6 groups and the identified fast learners were motivated to  guide the other members of the group.
•To create interest and to improve the level of understanding of the students, a group activity is conducted. A power point presentation is taken where the topics to be presented in the class are shared in advance with students. The class is divided into 6 groups and the identified fast learners were given the responsibility of coordination of each group.

Electrical Vehicle System Design

1. ADVISOR has been developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It is a tool that can be used to evaluate and quantify the vehicle level impacts of advanced technologies applied to vehicles.
2. It provides the vehicle engineering community with an easy-to-use and flexible, yet robust and supported analysis package for advanced vehicle modeling.
3. It is primarily used to quantify the fuel economy, performance, and emissions of vehicles that use alternative technologies, specifically EV/ HEV architectures.
4. It uses three primary graphical user interface (GUI) screens to guide the user through the simulation process. With the GUIs, the user can iteratively evaluate the impacts of vehicle parameters and drive cycle requirements the GUIs facilitate interaction with the raw input and output data that is present in the MATLAB workspace.
5. The vehicle model is depicted graphically using Simulink block diagrams to define the connections between components. The model then reads the input data from the MATLAB workspace during the simulation and outputs the results to the workspace to be viewed in the results window.
