摘要：AbstractPractical knowledge gained at university is an important subject for today's engineering major students. The paper proposes a learning by doing method and involves students attending the Electrical Power University. In this paper we developed an interface that simulates in Delphi the control monitors of the dispatchers. The program aims to deepen and test knowledge, but also follows the reaction capacity of the students. The student has the option to put himself in the dispatcher's place, commanding breakers and disconnectors. The program assists and notes all the student's moves and when he makes a mistake, it warns him about the error he has made. Another variable that the interface uses is reaction time, the student being penalized with a smaller grade if he does not make a decision in time. The program is structured in three difficulty levels, starting from an easy level in test 1 and reaching a medium to advanced level in test 3. At the end of the tests, the program shows the three test grades and their average. The student is also shown a list of all the areas where he failed and the bonuses for doing right and in time. This kind of program helps the student solidify his knowledge and test his abilities.
