abstract = "This paper reports on undergraduate students{\textquoteright} involvement in a research project at Iowa State University. The undergraduate project dealt with the application of the transient energy function (TEF) method to a large power pool in the Midwest. The project aimed at involving some advanced undergraduate students in realistic and meaningful electrical power engineering research and to give them a sample of the challenging problems available in the area of computer-aided power system analysis.",

note = "Funding Information: In the present paper, we report on undergraduate students{\textquoteright} involvement in a research project at Iowa State University. The project was sponsored by a research experience for undergraduates (REU) supplement, provided by the National Science Foundation. The project dealt with the application of the transient energy function (TEF) method to analyze the transient stability features of a large power pool in the Midwest. Funding Information: In summary, the project was enjoyable and defitely fulfilled its objectives. That project has shown what research is about and how it is done. From all of this, I am strongly considering graduate school.” ACKNOWLEDGMENT This work was funded by the National Science Foundation under a Research Experience for Undergraduates (Grant ECS08451091), and the Iowa State University Engineering Research Institute, to whom grateful acknowledgment is made.",
