Engineer the Systems That Keep Power Movning
What happens when demand suddenly changes, a fault disrupts the grid, or a new source of electricity is added to the power system? Electric power engineers step in. These are the experts who design, analyze, and operate the interconnected systems that generate, transmit, distribute, and control electrical energy.
Michigan Tech’s on-campus and online Advanced Electric Power Engineering Graduate Certificate provides advanced knowledge of the operation and design of electric power systems. Build on your electrical engineering background while developing expertise for working with increasingly complex power and energy systems.
Who is this Certificate For?
This certificate is designed for electrical engineers and professionals in closely related fields who want to deepen their knowledge of electric power engineering. It can help practicing engineers expand their technical expertise, prepare for new responsibilities in power and energy, or build a foundation for further graduate study.
Degree-seeking students can also use the certificate to develop a focused area of expertise within their graduate education.
What You Need to Know
Electric power engineering focuses on the systems and technologies required to deliver electrical energy safely, efficiently, and reliably. Advanced work in the field may involve the analysis, operation, protection, and control of power systems as well as the technologies and equipment that support them.
