Electrical Power Engineering
The Electrical Power Engineering Minor at Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ prepares students to understand the systems that power modern life. Designed to help meet workforce demand in the energy sector, the minor provides broad coverage of power engineering topics, including power systems, electrical machines, and power electronics, with an emphasis on design and analysis.
What You'll Learn
Courses cover electronics, semiconductors, power systems, electrical machines, power electronics and more.
Knowledge of power engineering is valuable across a wide range of industries, including electric utilities, power generation, renewable energy, industrial manufacturing, transportation infrastructure, and energy consulting. Students may find opportunities supporting electric power generation, transmission, distribution, and emerging energy technologies.
Next Steps
This minor is intended for students who are already pursuing an engineering degree (not in WCU’s Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering - electric power and clean energy concentration or in the Bachelor of Science in Engineering - electric power concentration) and are also interested in power engineering. Students interested in power engineering are encouraged to check out WCU’s Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, which offers comprehensive, computer engineering, and electric power and clean energy concentrations, to see if a minor or a major is more aligned with your interest.
