Electrical Power Engineering Schools

Electrical power engineers analyze and design electrical systems and power-control systems that generate a large amount of electricity within distribution networks. Careers in this field include product, design, applications or plant engineers. Workers may be employed in consulting-engineering firms, government agencies, research and design organizations or power-equipment manufacturing. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, most engineers require a bachelor's degree, so many of these programs are offered at that level.

  1. Pennsylvania State University

    • Pennsylvania State University's (Penn State) electrical engineering graduate program was ranked 25 by consumer magazine U.S. News and World Report in 2010. Penn State's department of electrical engineering is one of the largest and oldest in the nation. It offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs with a concentration in power engineering. For graduate students, power engineering is an optional research area and for undergraduate students it is an area of specialization for the bachelor of science (BS) degree in electrical engineering. Students are able to choose this as a concentration within their final three semesters in the program.
