About the Program

The objective of this certificate is to provide students/professionals with the knowledge to support related technical project including electrification, de-carbonation, and aging equipment retirement expansion. This program will prepare students/engineers to be equipped with the technical knowledge and to meet the needs of utility corporations to retain existing employees, to develop professionals in meeting the new rising technical challenges, and to attract new, young professionals to join the challenging workforce.

Admission Requirements

Students should have a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering with the necessary pre-requisites. Student's without a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering would require coursework exposure to circuits (i.e., RLC circuits, nodal analysis phasors) and linear algebra (i.e., vector and matrix computation).
