New Course Material Development

Several new course lectures have been developed from this NSF project, including Communication Infrastructures for Smart Grid, Big Data and Cloud Computing for Smart Grid, Cyber Security for Smart Grid. These course materials produced by the NSF project will benefit the existing undergraduate and graduate courses in the regular curriculum of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Computer Science, including courses such as wireless and mobile networks, computer networks, wireless sensor networks, network security, and Internet-of-Things. These can be easily incorporated into the existing courses as mentioned above, without significant change of course structure. The new course materials are available upon request.
