The College of Engineering at the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (UPRM) created a novel electric energy Masters Program with APEC University (UNAPEC) in Santo Domingo structured using the sustainability philosophy. Initially a traditional graduate power systems program was proposed to fill this need. After mentoring and supervising many Dominican graduate students at UPRM, and using information...
The power industry desperately needs talented young engineers. Researchers in the ECE Department at UNC Charlotte (UNCC) have partnered with AREVA to address this issue. Together, we have developed new curricula that tightly integrate theory with practice. This paper describes a three-level approach used in the senior-level electric machines course at UNCC. In this course, students move directly from...
Opportunities for power engineering education in the future will largely depend on the future of the electric utility industry. The industry is currently in a transition, from organizational structures that arose in the midst of an industrial age, to completely new structures. In a post-industrial future, the constitution of these new electric utility industry structures will be determined by societal,...
Attempting to develop large numbers of power engineers who are able to address both creatively and cost-effectively the challenges posed by todaypsilas power industry within the present academic constraints of 4 years and 120-128 credit hours is an overwhelming and quite possibly disheartening task. Trying to restructure the academic system substantially is equally as daunting. Yet, academia must...
This report is based on a survey of power engineering education resources in the U.S. and Canada similar to 12 earlier such efforts. This survey is conducted to determine the electric power engineering education resources available in Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET)-accredited engineering programs in the U.S. and Canada for the 2005-2006 academic year. The report is limited...
