Modernizing the electric grid is a grand challenge for our generation. The MS in Power Systems Engineering degree program builds upon the expertise of the engineering faculty and the research conducted at the FREEDM center. The faculty are world leaders in their field and work in a collegial atmosphere that encourages innovation. Graduate students on campus or as distance learners can benefit from the research conducted, industry sponsored projects and the opportunity to participate in a program whose course materials are directly applicable to a career in industry and suitable for a new or recent graduate as well as experienced professionals who want to receive the necessary retraining to update their current competencies and skills or change careers.
This presentation will cover the requirements for admissions and completion of the online degree program and how individuals worldwide can participate. Using streaming media to deliver the classes, this program provides flexibility in where a student is located and where and when the classes are viewed yet within the time frame of a regular semester. Anyone with a computer and good Internet access and with an undergraduate degree in engineering can participate.
