Good graduate programs for power electrical engineering

Good graduate programs for power electrical engineering

Good graduate programs for power electrical engineering

(OP)
I've been perusing the net for information on power electrical graduate programs and have identified various schools that offer an MS; however, I do not know how to judge the comparative quality of each program.  I understand that these things tend to be subjective, but if anyone can provide any insight, I'd sure appreciate it.

It would be great if there are any online programs out there.

Thanks in advance!

RE: Good graduate programs for power electrical engineering

Bath, Manchester, Newcastle and Imperial all offer good graduate-level courses in various aspects of electrical power. Of course if you're in the US then you might find 4000+ miles a bit of a long commute, but since you don't say where you are... spin

If we learn from our mistakes I'm getting a great education!
 

RE: Good graduate programs for power electrical engineering

If you are in the U.S., you might look at the University of Idaho, Washington State University, University of Wisconsin - Madison, or Georgia Tech. Gonzaga teamed up with T&D also & is about to offer a Masters degree from what I am hearing.

I have taken several classes at Idaho, & I believe they give you a education in power engineering, but that is just MHO.

In terms of time, the commute might be better than my current one in Southern California!

I'm just putting out some feelers to get more information on the power/utility engineering profession.  I don't know how much of it is true, but an IEEE article that I read recently suggested that there will be a shortage of utility engineers in about 5-10 years.  I'm not sure how true this will be in California.

RE: Good graduate programs for power electrical engineering

Michigan Tech University has an online program - http://www.ece.mtu.edu/RemoteMSEE/ - and Dr. Bruce Mork is one of the power professors. His online course notes helped me get through a year of power courses with a terrible professor. I recommend checking it out. I occasionally teach an introductory power system analysis course, and I still find myself going back to his course notes occasionally to get a better understanding.
