This challenge may be just the one you have been seeking!
The Electrical Engineering program at Clemson University provides fundamental education in core EE areas such as circuits, electronics, electromagnetics, controls, power, and communications. These fundamental areas are more fully developed by specialization in elective courses. The Power Systems specialization includes courses in Energy Conversion, Power Systems Analysis, and Electric Machines, Power Electronics and Drives. This focus on energy systems analysis and energy conversion is appropriate for students who work for or plan to work for electric utilities, electrical equipment manufacturers or companies which rely heavily on electrical energy.
