As an educator, you are concerned with getting the most learning value
from your available resources. STEM education is a key thrust in
education today. The Kylowave Universal Energy Conversion System is an
excellent choice because of its depth and breadth of features and its
reasonable price. One device provides coverage for a multitude of
courses. We work with each school individually to determine the best
delivery method for your needs. We can train your teachers, or we can
teach your students - it's your choice.
In our designed courses, the students use K-ECS to learn emerging areas like mechatronics and renewable energy. The courses follow a top-down approach, beginning with an overview of electric systems followed by a description of the required technology, and ending with the components needed to develop circuits and subsystems. The students learn to link the high school math and science curriculum to solve real world problems. They learn how to conduct basic programming to control loads and charge a battery, for example. Additionally, they learn how to integrate the K-ECS with signal and energy sources and various loads. The hands-on experience of controlling various loads enormously influences the interest of students in engineering, an obvious goal to enhance STEM education. |

Example of Summer Course Offering
Where: The University of Ottawa, Electrical Engineering Lab
When: Summer 2013 Duration: 2 Weeks Students: from grades 9-12 The course was structured following a top-down approach, beginning with an overview of electric systems followed by a description of the required technology, and ending with the components needed to develop circuits and subsystems. The necessary theoretical background enhancing the Ontario Curriculum was presented to reinforce hands on teaching. The students spent a week (8 hours per day) at the Electrical Engineering lab at the University of Ottawa, and built a speed controller for electrical motors, a digital music player with a speaker and a volt-meter. They had a great time working with the equipment and really demonstrated the effectiveness of K-ECS in learning difficult subjects. The students were taught how to conduct basic programing to control loads and charge a battery using the K-ECS. Additionally, they learned how to integrate the K-ECS with signal sources and various loads. The hands-on experience of controlling various loads enormously influenced the interest of students in engineering, an obvious goal of the course. In addition to planning, teamwork, presentation and technical report writing, they learned:
